It is as good as ever, if not better. The bread!! Light-as-air focacia and cheesy bread twists. The carpaccio de manzo was a work of art, as well as delicious. The whole branzino was cooked to perfection (my husband is an admitted snib when it comes to cooking branzino and he was impressed!) Very thin pappardelle with lovely cinghiale sauce. (I make my own and it's nowhere as good as this). We'll be back soon.

The level of ambiance and the sophisticated care given by the staff was very impressive. You walk in and you can feel the genuine warmth of the establishment. All the staff, not just the primary wait staff, are extremely well trained and were ready to assist, yet did not hover. Lyrique, our waitress, was very knowledgeable about Italian cuisine and wines, was helpful with selections, and quite personable. Each course was perfect in every detail (down to the chilled salads) and there was no rush, despite being fully booked for the holidays. It was merely marvelous in every regard, including reasonable prices. We will definitely return soonest.

He was surly, disappeared for a long time. I asked for more water 4 times before getting it. They were busy but for this level of restaurant, service was terrible. Food, as always, was great except my husband's salmon. He asked for med rare but it was almost like sushi! Again, waiter was MiA.
