    Great meal at this beautiful new restaurant Apps were wonderful - Burrata, Lamb and the Cod were all very delicious. The Pastas were very tasty, cacio e Pepe and the tagliatelle. Saltimbocca and Pork nice, a bit dry... The noise level is high, but will be returning.

    Everything we tried was delicious! We especially liked the artichoke and the lamb appetizers. The pastas were cooked to perfection. Erik, our server, was attentive and helpful explaining the different dishes. We gave him an A+.

    Joe Flamm did it again. His restaurants feel like the perfect place to gather with friends while not feeling like a stuffy table cloth places where you can’t relax. Service is mindful but not over bearing. We ordered 10 plates and didn’t have one I didn’t like - the gelato to end the meal is a must

    No bad dishes, but also no great dishes aside from their namesake dish. Presentation was amazing. Unfortunately, nothing tasted as good as it looked.

    Excellent food but overpriced. Service is too efficient - your plate may be taken before you’re finished eating.

    First time dining here and it was an amazing experience. Our server Katelyn went through the menu with us and made some great recommendations. Everything came out perfectly timed and hot. Drinks were delicious and vibes were on point. The stand outs for me were Tagliatalle, Rosso, Carciofo. Dessert was also great especially with a cappuccino.
