    I recently celebrated a birthday at this amazing Italian restaurant, and I can't say enough about how wonderful the experience was! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like family. Our server, Luke, truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible time. He was attentive, friendly, and made our celebration even more special. We requested a candle on our dessert, and the team executed it perfectly – the little touches like this really made it memorable. The wine concierge was also fantastic, offering expert recommendations and matching us with the perfect wine to complement our meal. The attention to detail here is top-notch. The food was absolutely delicious, but it was the exceptional service that truly stood out. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and unforgettable service!

    We ordered a Kale Salad, which was absolutely excellent. I really enjoyed the Bruschetta as well. The bread was buttery and delicious, and the truffle honey mayo were positive editions to the palette. I also had the Pappardelle noodles, which to me stood out as a must-try dish. The noodles were prepared with care, and the subtle hints of parsley paired with the mushroom ragu made for a beautiful dish. The breaded chicken breast was simply okay. While the chicken was tender and moist, the spinach was overly salty and greasy and the chicken had perhaps a bit of a strange taste. Lastly, we had the panna cotta, which was comped for my birthday, which was really a treat! The desert was light, and was a nice ending to the meal.
