Best Italian restaurant in town! Amazing food, friendly and attentive service, they make you feel right at home. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Dined with a friend, and enjoyed their version of Winterlicious Menu. Food was perfectly prepared, plated and served. Service was attentive and unhurried; our server and those supporting her were exceptional. Restaurant was busy, yet comfortably relaxed. We enjoyed every moment. Looking forward to returning. It’s a beautiful space to enjoy a meal.

What a fantastic first experience! The atmosphere was very chic while also feeling serene. The service was great! Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. Finally, the food was delicious! The veal carpaccio is a must and the pasta (snow crab) and seafood platter were succulent.
