So good!! Food was delicious. Service was on point. We shared the burrata appetizer which was a large serving and beyond yummy. Then we had the braised short rib dinner with risotto. Also delicious. We added the broccolini side and the fresh bread with the tummiest truffle butter. It’s not cheap but overall, a decent value for what you get. Will be back soon!

Best dining experience I have had in quite a while. The restaurant was cozy cute and everything from the Limoncello Martini (with a popsicle) to the artichoke and parmesan wheel pasta meal was absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to go again! Love it!
