As someone with gluten-free dietary restrictions, I’m usually hesitant about Italian restaurants, but I was pleasantly surprised by how many delicious gluten-free options they offered. Everything we ordered was excellent—the soup, salmon, and tiramisu were all perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a wonderful place to celebrate. What truly made the evening special, though, was the staff. Everyone was so kind, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the meal, and they went out of their way to make my birthday feel extra special. The level of service was exceptional. I’m so glad we decided to try this restaurant. Between the amazing food, welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding service, it’s a place I’ll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend!

The dining room is beautiful and decorated with large paintings and frescoes on the wall, but the acoustics of a single make it a bit loud.

Fantastic food , absolutely amazing service, great for larger parties who want a great time and don’t want to be harassed for being loud and spend tons of money.
We were looking for Italian food that wasn't just pizza or pasta and stumbled across this option. What a great discovery!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Our waiter had good suggestions and answered our questions knowledgeably. I had the butternut squash and yam soup as an appetizer- it was creamy with a touch of apple shavings and pumpkin seed oil- a wonderfully rounded warmed flavors made it the perfect appetizer for a snowy evening. I had the dungeness crab cake and a salad for my main course. I liked the juxtapositoning of the olives and red pepper sauce with the flavors of the crab cake. The crab cake itself was creamy and delicately out together with a fine crispy panko crust. I found the crab cake nearly perfectly constructed...I would have chopped the celery a little finer as to me the texture distracted from a focus on the crab meat. My husband had the carpaccio appetizer which was a beautiful plate. The meat was really flavorful and finely sliced. For his main he had the venison loin - which was a beautiful piece of meat with a robust sauce. The bone marrow pudding was a treat and great accompaniment. For dessert, my husband enjoyed the tiramisu deliciously creamy and light with a hint of espresso. We were surprised to learn the restaurant had only recently opened given how smoothly everything went and how great our waiter was.... definitely worth a visit.
Service was worst I’ve ever had of any restaurant I’ve ever been to in my life, including fast food.

We waited for a full hour just for them to bring out soup and a salad, and the lobster bisque was freezing cold and the lobster inside of it was frozen solid. The waiter Martin didn’t even acknowledge us after we put in our order. It took him 50 min to come over and apologize and he only did so because I yelled his name out loud (after ignoring several reasonably pitched attempts) I highly recommend you eating anywhere else but here! I was late at booking our reservation and this was the only place that had availability on such short notice, now I know why lol.
