    Every dish we ordered was great, but my personal favorites were the garlic bread with the Parmesan dip (the Parmesan dip is a must), the creamy spinach, and the radiatori vodka pasta. The service was top notch with multiple servers constantly watching your table to take away empty dishes, bring your next dish, and refill your drinks. I loved the concept of everything being smaller dishes to share because we were able to order multiple things and try a lot. I can’t wait to go back!

    Ordered the Thanksgiving take home pack and I can’t say enough good things about it. The packaging was great (sturdy and easy to reheat in the oven), absolutely everything tasted amazing - you could really tell they didn’t take any shortcuts cooking the food, the quantity was very generous, and the overall variety was exceptional. I will definitely do this again and will certainly make a point to come into the restaurant as well based on how great everything was here. Really amazing!
