    Food and services were outstanding, as always! Meatballs appetizer for the table. Beet salad for one person, sweet potato gnocchi for another and pasta dish for the third. We all ate everything! Emily was very attentive.

    This was our second time having the Tuesday tasting menu. This time it was Thanksgiving Italian style. As before the pastas were delish. Some of the familiar Thanksgiving flavors, but with pasta! Amazing. We did the wine pairing, too. They were also delicious and well suited to each course. Both the meal and wine pairing were reasonably priced. As always, service was thoughtful and happily provided.

    Enjoyed the 4 course thanksgiving pasta meal. Food was excellent. Wine service was a little slow - often coming halfway through the paired course
