We had a tight schedule to start off our holidays with an event to go to right after dinner. All the staff was very helpful and friendly and we were able to leave ahead of time and that made our special plans off to a great start. Love this restaurant!

Mediocre service - server didn’t really know the menu. In my opinion the front of house let the kitchen down. Also there were clerical errors with my bill that resulted in being overcharged. Different prices being charged than what was on the menu.

friendly staff, we were seated quickly - enjoyed everything we ordered (stuzzichini del giorno, lasagna verdi +pappardelle con l’anatra) and it was the perfect portion size for the two of us to share. Lively and classy atmosphere without feeling stuffy or rigid. Will definitely return ::)
