    We have been excited to try this new place and we were not disappointed! Brandon was our server and made our experience over the top from start to finish - he knew the menu inside and out and made great recommendations. We had the oysters (incredibly fresh), scallop ceviche (such great flavor), and shared the Tomahawk and Lobster for two with sides of Au Gratin Potatoes and Fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, my husband said the potatoes were the best he’s had, and the French fries were delicious! I didn’t get the lobster… it was prepared like an au gratin and just tasted like melted cheese. Aside from that - incredible food and venue. They even have a DJ which gives it a fun vibe. This is definitely a place to check out and make sure to request Brandon for a great experience!

    Food was very good. Service was excellent. It’s loud in there because there isn’t much to break up the noise but that’s not a deal breaker. We were a little surprised at the portion sizes of the pasta dishes. I’m not saying they should serve an entire family but they seemed a little skimpy. The branzino was delicious. We’ll go back for sure.

    What an amazing experience! The pizza was amazing. The rack of lamb was absolutely stunning. Great preparation cooked perfectly. The appetizers were fantastic. Nothing is pedestrian. They take everything and prepare it just a step above. The service was very spot on our waiter Romeo was very attentive and genuinely loved his job and was very good at it. The wine list was carefully put together with great Italian selections that paired fantastically with the menu . Thank goodness this restaurant is not too close to where I live. Otherwise I’d be there at least twice a week!!! 😂🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
