Visiting from Newfoundland and this was the best meal of our trip (and we went to several bib gourmand restaurants)! Absolutely amazing Italian food, with phenomenal service and a chef who puts a lot of heart into her food and her restaurant. I’m so glad we came here— all four of my party had a different pasta and they were each amazing in their own way— I’ll be back for sure, would highly recommend !

The crab carbonara was terrible. The restaurant was the quietest I’ve ever seen - and yet we had to chase our server. I usually love that place but yesterday they fell flat.
