Fantastic food and service! Holiday music was a little loud but we still enjoyed our meal. Booths are comfortable but a little tight if you have more than 4 adults. We were a party of 5 and will request a round table next time.

The food was good. The gnocchi were under cooked but the sauce was delicious. The veal Osso Bucco special was very tasty. The service was not very good. We had empty drinks after bringing our drinks from the bar and were never asked if we needed another drink. I would consider going again but if the service doesn’t improve, it would be my last. Separately, it is cold in the restaurant especially near the from window where we were seated.
