The service was excellent. We found all of the servers to be very attentive and helpful. The food was also delicious, starting with the focaccia bread with seasoned butter. The scallops were also excellent. I hadn’t been to this restaurant in a long time and I highly recommend it.

The food was excellent. The service outstanding. Kind people, lovely atmosphere. We should have sat outside but thought it t be too chilly but the design and the heaters in that space would have been sufficient. Will definitely return, even if it is just to have that lamb again. Very yummy.

Had a fun lowkey evening with a friend. We could have happily ordered a dinner of all appetizers if the pizza didn't sound so good. We got the appetizer trio and the burrata for starters and the truffle bianche pizza (no pic) and ended with some classic tiramisu. I enjoyed wine with our dinner and my friend got a wonderful specialty fall spritz. The most disappointing bite was the stuffed squash blossoms, I was just expecting more than it was. It was bland with way too much coating. I think the burrata with Prosciutto was the best bite. It wasn't overly salty and just tasted fresh and creamy. I would definitely go back, there's so many other items on the menu I would try.
