They described their restaurant as Italian but with a modern flair. That is a perfect way to describe both the cuisine and the ambiance. I had the Cacio E Pepe with chicken. It was delicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was creamy but delicate. When I asked if bread came with the meal, our waiter indicated that it did not. However, the waiter recommended their grilled sour dough bread (an additional $4), which came with an herbaceous butter - it was wonderful! My friend ordered the day’s special gnocchi with short ribs that fell off the bone. For dessert, we all wanted the tiramisu. It was not exactly the soupy Tuscan style nor the dry lady fingers style. I’d say a mixture of both. Sorry about the picture as we all devoured it so quickly I had to snap a quick shot after we had started digging in - I’d highly recommend it.

Fettuccini alfredo- no parsley or any other garnish- just white sauce- not very appetizing. Wanted to try the dessert, but based on main course decided to pass. Server was very robotic and seemed little upset that we ordered only water, no alcohol. Will not return.

Our waiter was super friendly but just waited long for food which wasn’t his fault and just asked a few times for things that never came. Anyway we will still be back cause we do love this restaurant!!!!!
