About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions

  • Great for outdoor dining
Italian inspired cuisine in a charming and beautiful country setting with outdoor dining all summer and a covered heated tent in the winter. Our stone terrace with large fireplace nestled between aromatic herb and flower gardens makes for a beautiful setting year around.

Our tent is down for the summer! Tables on the patio are covered by umbrellas for protection from sun and in the case of rain. In the case of inclement weather, we will do our best to accommodate outdoor bookings indoors based on availability.

    Beautiful setting. Sierra was very attentive and knowledgeable. Our food was prepared to order. The classic espresso martini was delicious.

    The service was outstanding we could not have asked for better service and the veal and the lamb entrées were delicious and very ample. The red wine by the glass and the dirty martini were very good . The tuna appetizer that was on the specials menu was a little disappointing. We didn’t think the tuna had much flavor and they were only three very thin slices so we didn’t think it was a good value. We would definitely eat here again. Sitting on the back patio in the evening was divine.

    At the last minute I had to bring 5 to a reservation for 4. It was a busy Friday but we were accommodated as graciously and quickly as humanly possible. Don't miss the fried artichoke appetizer!

    What a deluxe dining experience. Our waitstaff was superb and really went the extra mile. Not to mention that the kitchen really delivered a wonderful meal. We sat outdoors and the ambiance was otherworldly! :)

    Our son enjoyed his special birthday dinner tonight! Everything was delicious and service was spectacular. Highly recommend 7 Lady Vineyards Chardonnay. All 6 of us tried something different and everyone was happy with their meals. Beautiful setting and such a lovely stroll through the garden.
