The food was good. The gnocchi were under cooked but the sauce was delicious. The veal Osso Bucco special was very tasty. The service was not very good. We had empty drinks after bringing our drinks from the bar and were never asked if we needed another drink. I would consider going again but if the service doesn’t improve, it would be my last. Separately, it is cold in the restaurant especially near the from window where we were seated.

This was our first time. Great experience. Great food. A huge party came in 1/2 through our experience and really stretched our server. She did a great job but was less attentative as a result. I will definitely be goin back. The vibe was great.
