About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Romantic
By partnering with local growers, our mission is to secure the best, freshest, local, organic-when-possible, ingredients to cook for our customers. Our menu will change regularly to reflect what's best in each season.

We have a simple menu for a reason. Instead of purchasing dried pasta, we start with flour and eggs to make our pasta from scratch. Instead of purchasing frozen gnocchi, we peel the potatoes to make our own, fresh, light-and-fluffy, gnocchi. Our chefs create beautiful dishes with flavor that can only come from a recent harvest. When we are unable to secure a local ingredient, we will communicate that to our customers.

With the umbrella heading of a farm-to-table restaurant, our chefs are free to create dishes that cross into different ethnic cuisines. However, the majority of our meals are influenced by Italian and American tastes.

    We went for a rainy Sunday evening dinner and the food and service were top notch. The squash ravioli is out of this world. I love the light, flavorful sauce sprinkled over the ravioli. The black bass fish is cooked to perfection! Crispy on the outside and tender, mild fish on the inside. I will come back! Take the waiter's recommendations... delicious!

    Although limited menu, which is fine with me, fantastic food. Fresh and delicious. Had short ribs and squash ravioli. Deviled eggs for app were really good. Server was great. BYO but they do offer a few wine selections from Working Dog Winery. Our server sold us on the apple crumb dessert and explained how great it is with a little ice cream on top. But when he brought it out, no ice cream! We didn't complain. It was delicious! But probably better heated with a scoop of ice cream. We will be back.

    We had enjoyed dining at 12 Farms about a year ago but found the variety and quality of the food much diminished this time. The room became very noisy and conversation was difficult.

    The octopus appetizer was chewy. The black bass dinner had no flavor at all. The slowed cooked ribs would have been good if they didn't kill it with sauce. Open Table ratings were very high for this place, so I was surprised at our experience. I will say that our waitress was awesome though!! First time there and unfortunately, it will be our last.

    Limited menu, but really good. Extremely limited wine list, but they allow you to bring your own wine
