We are a restaurant from Chef Albert DiMeglio known from Barano and Rubirosa, that simply wants to be your neighborhood kitchen. A place where everybody knows your name and serves you a thoughtful menu of exactly what you want, and let’s be honest, what you need. We love to do it in a buttoned up, polished way, with lets say… our hair down!

We want to be there for your first dates, family gatherings, business dinners, great parties from 20 to 100, or just that craft cocktail you needed at the end of your day.

Happy to be recognized as Newsday's Feed Me top 100 and Long Island Herald's choice awards finalist.

1st time here with another couple and we were disappointed. Our waitress seemed like she couldn’t be bothered and didn’t want to be there but her counterpart Alex who did come over was so pleasant, funny and kind. We were hoping he would be our main server but he wasn’t. The spinach artichoke flatbread app was burning hot like it just came out of a microwave and was not good. For dinner I had the brick chicken dish which was very good but a little dry at the end. My husband and brother in law got the chicken sandwich which was tasty but dry. My sister got the Caesar salad with chicken which was not very big and unfortunately the dressing was bland. We shared the warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert which were good but needed to be heated up a little longer since cold in the middle. It is also on the pricey side with limited choices for us so if spending that type of money we would choose to go elsewhere. Maybe it was an off night but since our first time we wouldn’t return.
