I joined a colleague for a business dinner. Our salads were very good—generous portions, presented well and very fresh ingredients. My colleague enjoyed the squash ravioli. It was a bit sweet but very nice mix of flavors. My spinach ravioli dish was a bit disappointing. I didn’t realize it was prepared al dente and so the edges were quite tough. The inside was flavorful but I ended up not eating it. The staff were quite nice and fairly attentive once someone was assigned to our table. So a bit of a mixed experience but I would try them again.

Good service overall and good food. However the ravioli I had left much to be desired. They were dry and they had lots of sauce that was unexpected. I expected fluffy fresh moist ravioli. Otherwise the artichoke salad was great.

We came as a group of 7 which is large for this small location but it was lovely. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was above and beyond. Highly recommend reservations as I said it is a very small spot but worth the wait. My mouth is watering just remembering all the amazing foods.
