The food was some of the best I have had in the United States for Italian food. The wait staff was excellent and very attentive. The only derogatory thing was our seating was very chilly. When they open the back door, it seems to cause the main room to get a cold draft. If we go back, we will request to sit in the bar area or next to the fireplace.

The aesthetics were very nice, the food was amazing and our waitress Raizel was outstanding. I had the Pancake Tacos and my daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast. The pancake was amazing and fluffy, not dense and heavy. It was filled with egg, crumbled sausage, bacon and a little cheese…delicious! My daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast with Berries which was a nice mixture of sweet with savory of the Brie! Also quite delicious! Our waitress was friendly and professional, she was attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely be going back and asking specifically for Raizel!
