Absolute standout for Italian food in Houston. Italian American with great service and a modern touch. Could easily be compete with New York Italian. Wine list very well priced and well curated. Highlights were the sweetbreads, tuna N’duja, chicken parm, and dry aged steak either crispy potatoes. But honestly every dish was an absolute hit. Not one lackluster plate.

We had read previous reviews that were not so great but decided to give this place a chance to see if things had improved. Taylor was very instrumental in a 5 star review. Seems like all issues have been resolved and we fully enjoyed the dining experience.
