Was there for the football playoff game and the staff was amazing! Paced everything out perfectly, atmosphere was tremendous and the food was absolutely spot on. From Burrata, to adult mac and cheese, pulled pork sandwiches and more, would highly recommend eating here on your next trip to campus!

We were exceptionally pleased. It was a lovely evening of quiet family-like dining. Laughter from other tables of guests enjoying themselves and an elegantly lit Christmas tree in the middle of the room. Our food was perfect temperatures, both hot and cold. We intended to share desserts and had to order more tiramisu because it was so exceptional! Drinks were fun and new to us, as Winter Specials. Will return soon as this is our new Italian favorite.
