    The person who greeted us was friendly and seated us earlier than the scheduled reservation. The food was excellent. The service was quite good, attending to our needs, but not hovering. A lovely place to share a meal- one could imagine being in italy! I will definitely return and highly recommend this restaurant.

    Everything was wonderful! The food was delicious but I felt like an entire stick of butter was used on my branzino but I still enjoyed it (just not how I felt for a few days after). The service and ambiance was fun and energetic and cheerful but it was sooo loud so it was harder to hear my company. It was great though!
