The fried artichokes, burrata, and pasta samplers were the stars of the meal. Avoid the tuna tartare, the texture is not what you’d expect from tartare and more like a “spread” - tasted rather fishy as well. Service was great!

GREAT EXPERIENCE! Lively ambience - Sat at bar - bartender was awesome. Fun cocktails & helpful insight for menu choices! Loved the small plates- Tuna outstanding & lamb ribs delish. Chicken Milanese perfect & bolognese to die for. No leftovers & no room for dessert. Put It on your list!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's not too bad really, just your run-of-the-mill kind of spot. Nothing over the top, but comfortably normal. You might want to consider it!
