    Amazing experience! The service was exceptional—attentive and friendly. The sea bass was perfectly cooked, juicy and flaky, and truly unforgettable. The live music added a vibrant, authentic touch to the atmosphere. Highly recommend this gem of an Italian restaurant!

    Portions are huge. Wish our server would have told us that one meal was plenty for 3/4 people. Good food but the place seemed like it wanted to be fancy but still lacked every quality to be fancy.

    I highly recommend the Rasta pasta due to its selection of proteins and the tenderloin tops as an appetizer was super delicious 10/10 it’s mine and my wife’s second time going and I’m sure more to come customer service was a 10 and it’s quiet so chat all you want

    Paige was a fantastic server!!! She was friendly, and she took the time to inform my wife and I about all the specials of the day. I had the fettuccine Alfredo with the salmon (I highly recommend it). Food was a little pricey, but it’s a fancy restaurant, but it was an overall excellent experience. If you’re looking for a fancy place to take your date, take her to this place. And ask for Paige.

    From the moment we walked in, we were treated like the only party that mattered. Sam, our wonderful server was attentive and super fun. The owner, Stetson and the chef both visited our table and made our birthday celebration extra special. I will be back!

    Very nice experience. Just don’t like we were sat by the door in January. It was cold and we didn’t really get a chance to view the ambiance of the building. But the Rasta pasta was 10/10 very very good.

    This is an amazing restaurant! The prices are definitely up since the last time I was there but the food quality and overall service is still outstanding.

    Brunch was cold and over cooked. Beautiful restaurant. French toast was hard and cold. Cappuccino was cold. I’d like to try dinner. Definitely not returning for brunch.
