    Regardless of whether you eat with your eyes or with your stomach, you won’t be disappointed. My husband and I had dinner here last night and we couldn’t be more thrilled. The restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous and the food is outstanding in every way. The menu is interesting and innovative. We enjoyed appetizers of Carne Crudo and Insalata Tritata which were absolutely delicious. Our entrees of rockfish and lasagne verde were perfect. We sat at the bar which was lively and festive considering it’s the holiday season. The staff is super friendly and the vibe is lively and fun. A definite must try if you haven’t already!

    My group of 9 feasted on the delicious food, starting with the Polenta, Grilled Artichokes, and Bruschetta for appetizers. All were tasty, but the Bruschetta was over the top good. Most of us ordered the 3-course pre-fixe. My 1st course Burrata Prosciutto. Luscious, salty, creamy. My main course Lobster Ravioli. C'mon! Rich, creamy, with Shrimp and Scallops. And finished off the meal with the decadent, creamy Panna Cotta with Berries. The service was outstanding. The dining room was lively and filled with people ... on a Tuesday night! (Of course, it's the week before Christmas, but still.)
