Always an amazing meal. Try to eat here at least once a month. Best calamari anywhere. I had scallops and they were fantastic. I’ve also loved the braised short ribs. Carrie, our server was fantastic. I just wish they would bring back the salted caramel budino. The chocolate is really good as well.

When you first walk in, the smile on the hostesses face was genuine. She acted like we were her favorite customers. This started the night out beautifully. Our waiter was attentive, but let us visit with each. He was great! Again- a genuine smile and seemed happy to have us there. I ordered the chicken piccata. It was excellent!

Had a reservation on a very busy night. Restaurant handles it well. Food was excellent— had the redfish piccata special. Wife had Osso Buco — just as good. Went to the speakeasy next door before the meal for a cocktail. Wonderful ambiance and nice craft cocktails. Love that this is in my neighborhood.
