We had not been here in awhile, and it’s such a nice place. Our server was attentive and we shared the burrata salad and bolognese. The salad was excellent as the burrata was baked and slightly crispy, very different and yummy. The bolognese sauce was also very good. My only negative is that the wines are way overpriced, and the pour for a $16 glass of Chianti seemed like barely 5 ounces. My fiancé got a slight larger pour, but not much. That was disappointing.

Great location, atmosphere and service. We arrived early for our reservation and luckily they were able to seat us within 15 minutes because their bar area is small. My husband ordered the steak. It was perfect with such great flavor. I ordered the carbonara and I was disappointed after reading how great it was. Mine was okay. Although I would go back to this location because of the service and atmosphere, I’d have to find another dish to try. 4/5 stars

Over the top. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the gnocchi on the “Filleto” plate. From the steak, to the gnocchi and sauce and spinach in between it was a fantastic dish. An “all in one” without a doubt. Grab it while it’s there, so worth it. My compliments to the Chef and the kitchen behind it.

We had the calamari, Caprese salad and I had the lobster raviolis it was all excellent and good.. My only complaint is y'all make this too hard to leave a review. To time consuming you need to knock off having to use a confirmation number.

Service was outstanding from the time we arrived at the Hostess station to receiving the check from our waitress. Definitely 5* service! The food was another story. Both my wife’s gnocchi and my rigatoni tasted salty. The flavor of both meals was off. Our first time at your restaurant and we were disappointed.
