    There were some scary reviews but none of that happened. Great service, great food, the chef is SO nice and brought everything to the table. Cups were always filled and we were always checked on. Dinner for 2- we shared: the focaccia, fried calamari, caprese salad, pasta tossed in the wheel of cheese, with a a side of Brussel sprouts and side of Shrimp. It was all AMAZING! Added some pics of what we remembered to photograph before eating.

    Had an amazing time went there just to celebrate a birthday and truly had an amazing time! Ice cream sundae was amazing! So many things in it! Got the $60 one (not on menu ask about it ;) ) with birthday song! Was able to share with the group. The song on the speakers, they let me pick a song that was not available and we just had a ball. Super nice people. Everything was amazing! Will recommend for sure

    This tiny place is very pleasant, especially at the far back overlooking the courtyard, but accent on the “tiny”. Glad I had reserved a table for a friend’s birthday celebration. We enjoyed our choices of pastry, though I would have liked more true cake choices (only one, dark chocolate.) the cappuccino was good. Glad we checked this place out, and it’s right next door to my favorite P.O.S.H. store. Two good places on the same visit.
