The food was excellent especially the mushroom pappardelle. The wine is expensive starting at $18/glass but the choices were very good. I had a Primitivo at $22/glass and it was delicious. I think the ambiance could be improved as they don't have shades on the windows so the sun was right in my table mates eyes. They're new owners so I will go back again.

Server was nice. Bread and butter made in house were phenomenal. Bruschetta was very tasty. Cacio e Pepe had good flavor but low quality noodles were like glue. Glass of wine is $26! New owners should gut entire site as it is depressing. Outside patio needs plants, lighting, weekend entertainment or music. Get rid of tv inside - feels cheap considering cost of food and drinks. Will not return despite very close to home and overall good tasting food. Disappointed.

Food was outstanding. Service was superb. Highly recommend this restaurant. The new signage yet to be installed so still has old name on the bldg. (Aeoli’s or something like that)

The owners went out of their way to make sure my colleagues and I had an enjoyable experience for our casual work dinner. Even being short staffed due to last minute issues with staffing, they ran around and kept service flowing. On top of that, the food was delicious and everyone at our table enjoyed the meal. If I were a local, I'd come back again and again to support this business.

We had a fantastic visit! The gnudi was by far my favorite thing on the menu but my father and cousin said the duck was to die for. Perfectly cooked and tender. Wish we didn’t live in Kentucky so we could come back all the time!
