Love this place so much! Had the beet and goat cheese salad to start and then we ordered the chicken florentine and rigatoni bolognese. Food was full of great flavor, the service was friendly and attentive, and the ambience was chill and pretty. Highly, highly recommend!!

The food, service and atmosphere were all wonderful. Stefano was our server and he was amazing! They were able to accommodate a simple cheese pizza for our kids, Stefano provided an exceptional wine pairing recommendation, and overall a great experience. Can’t wait to return.

The food was the highlight of our visit. We ordered a grilled salmon poke, and we truly enjoyed it. However, the service left much to be desired. Lastly, the place could use a bit of a refresh—it’s clear it hasn’t been updated in quite a few years.

I have been here 3 times and every time my experience was really good. This evening we had the best waiter, Nadia. She provided the best service! We had the meat lovers pizza, Demi Moore burger, and Kale Cesar salad. All really tasty! Also the decor of the restaurant is a vibe!
