This is a 5 star but causal Italian restaurant. Everything was wonderful from the hostess to the waiter to the chef to the food. We’ve traveled the world, spent a lot of time in Italy. Did I say more?

The cioppino was outstanding, we sat in the bar so service lacked a bit. We received our appetizer before water and cocktails, the table was small and dishes stacked up without a busser. The server had a hard time hearing us (or understanding us) so I ended up with another cocktail when I asked the server to take my empty glass away to free up table space. I did drink and pay for it, but didn’t order it. It was very loud but overall an average experience for a $230 meal for two. This was our second time here, not sure there will be a third.

Came here for the Valentines Day menu and it was just fine. Tough to know if the food is usually better. Warm Cesar salad wasn’t good at all; it was soggy and had very little dressing. Lobster carbonara was good, but not as delicious as it looked. Service was also a bit slow, though very polite and friendly.
