The pasta was excellent, truly superb. I had the ravioli which was one of the best Italian dishes I’ve ever had. The antipasta (arancino rather than arancini as indicated by the menu) tasted a little off—perhaps frozen?—and the dessert I had (panna cota) was presented a flan rather than a true panna cota.

I was taken aback with all the security in front of the restaurant. Made me question the environment inside of the restaurant. Then they patted my date down! For dinner?! It was 7:30 pm, not 2am in front of a nightclub. I was so confused. If we didn't have to leave a deposit when making the reservation, we would have left. However, once inside, the restaurant was pretty empty and quite lovely. The service was prompt and professional. My drink (Sexxy red) was absolutely delicious. The appetizer was fresh, and so tasty. Our entrée did not disappoint. We were very happy with the service and food and so glad we did not allow the initial impression turn us away from such a wonderful experience and amazing food.
