First time Italian cuisine. Wine tasting is a bonus. I learned a lot tonight. First tasting menu I tried ever with different groups of wine pairing on each dish by a certified wine specialist explaining how the pairing works and how they interwined. Thank you.

Service was excellent. My husband ordered the pizza, and was disappointed as it didn't have that wood fired taste that Paese pizza's have been known for. Everyone else's meal was good. There was someone behind the bar that was making akward noises and doing so persistently and very loudly. Unfortunately, it kept disrupting our conversation's. Overall, the service was excellent, as was our server. Hopefully they'll bring back their oh-so-delicious wood fired pizza!!

This place was completely booked on Friday night, so make sure you have your reservation. This looks like a family place with amazing pizzas and nice drinks. We've also tried their beets and goat cheese salad, and this is our new favorite. Pleasant staff, overall relaxing vibe. This place is where I'd like to return again and again. Pricewise it was really good value. Totally recommended.
