    Food is always good. No complaints. Waiter was a little non-existent and not quite grumpy but not real welcoming either.

    Fantastic food and service. The carrot hummus was my favorite, but the burger was the standout for my husband

    It's a pleasure to encounter a menu that shows real creative imagination and doesn't just offer the same old octopus/burrata/salmon/wagyu menu that so many places fall back on these days. The food isn't exactly cheap, but it's fairly priced, considering that it uses good ingredients and is skillfully prepared and full of flavor. (One quibble: There was far too much garlic in the wild mushroom risotto; Italians very rarely add garlic to risotto, for good reason: it overpowers the creamy richness of the dish.) Service was excellent, too -- attentive but not overbearing, often anticipating our needs. However... We almost walked out of the place as soon as we sat down, and we'll think twice about going back. Why? The screw-you prices on the wine list. The selection is small, just 25 or 30 choices across all categories, and apart from an adequate rosé, the cheapest bottle goes for $115. I have no quarrel with pricey bottles, especially in an affluent community like Greenwich, but these are Michelin-starred New York City prices -- and even those restaurants always offer at least a few good bottles with two-digit price tags.

    Delicious food but as expected it’s overpriced and the portions are small. What was unexpected was how salty the food tasted and the garlic seemed out of a jar, not fresh, which was disappointing.

    The food here is absolutely delicious, the setting is beautiful and the staff super friendly. The music was perfect as well. The best frittata and crispy potatoes that I ever had. Even the bread was amazing.! Can’t wait to go back.
