    My daughter and I had a prefixed menu dinner with wine pairing and it was lovely. The event was on Mother’s Day and was held in the event center with Imperial style seating. Food and service were both very good and we especially appreciated the personal touch of the history of wine and food choices. I would have given 5 stars but felt that while the focaccia bread option was wonderful, that it should have been included as part of the meal, even if you have to charge a slightly higher cost per person. Paying for bread as an extra seemed to cheapen the otherwise really nice experience. We can’t wait to visit the restaurant!

    The food was good. i think for myself I am just not used to the small portions the higher end places give. I end up spending a lot of money and still being hungry

    Love that the menu changes monthly. First time there and was grateful to have Brianna as our guide through the menu. She was so knowledgeable and her soothing voice made everything sound even more beautiful. I appreciate being told the region of Italy where every dish came from. We opted for the Pelino’s Dinner 4-course so we could try most items and share. It was more than enough food. You can also opt for 3-course or 7-courses ans well. Every dish was wonderful. My daughter was most excited about Cacio a Pepe being served table side and tossed in the cheese wheel. Will return to try the next menu items

    Fun Dining experience. Felt very authentic old world Italian. We chose the 7 course chef’s choice and it did not disappoint. The knowledge of the staff and explanation of every dish made for a great experience. Delicious wine and cocktails
