From the moment I walked in, everyone working in the restaurant was all smiles. Jetta seated me and stopped for a minute to chat, leaving me with a nice first impression. Nora came to the table, and we discussed wine and food possibilities. I ordered a bottle of reasonably priced Nebbiolo and the bread and olive oil, which I highly recommend. It is not your simple loaf of bread in a basket with some olive oil on the side. The presentation was terrific, and product quality was as good as it gets. For a main course, Nora suggested the short ribs with a mushroom risotto, skinny whole carrots, and charred Brussel sprouts. All I can say is that the main course and the Nebbiolo were a perfect match for me. Nora stopped by to check on me from time to time, and we chatted some. But I am typically a low maintenance customer, so as far as I was concerned, Nora's service was perfect for me. I'll go back next chance I get and do recommend this restaurant if you have never tried it.

Food and drinks met the standard. I think the experience was more expensive than it deserves. My pasta was $24 when I think it should’ve been $18. This is more of a popular Instagram restaurant than an authentically delicious Italian food spot. Nothing wrong, but nothing special nor worth returning for the price.
