Great dinner. The food and wine were sooooooo good and the wine was a great value. We got the artichoke, a zucchini pizza and two pastas. All were unreal. Our server was super attentive and not overbearing. We were originally seated near a door that was drafty and it was a cold night, I said something and we were immediately seated somewhere else that I wasn’t cold. Great service. Great restaurant. Will be back.

Took my husband for his birthday and wasn’t able to get in the dining room as no reservations available for my timeframe. Was worried about the ‘bar’ area but it was very nice as well. Beautiful place with great service and we loved every item we ordered. My husband loved it.
