Still one of our favorite places. The food and the service are always great. It’s pretty busy depending on what time you go and so at those times it can be pretty noisy but even when it’s really busy they are always well staffed and handle it well. It’s certainly one of the best run restaurants around.

We shared the special pea burrata crostini, Parma pizza and icecream with olive oil & sea salt. Everything was delicious. Good witch cocktails also delicious & so pretty. Great service. The only thing was we felt like we were being rushed off the table. We hadn’t seen each other and were spending time catching up but kept getting side glances from hostess & server so finally felt we better leave. Had barely hit the 2 hour mark & had ordered a glass of wine after.
