   This was our third visit. She ordered a glass of Patz and Hall Chardonnay. It was off and the server replaced it with a new glass from a new bottle immediately. Off wines happen, even with the best of wines. Corks are usually the culprits. I ordered Guinness 0.0 since I can no longer drink alcohol. The bread was a freshly baked mini loaf partially sliced into quarters. It came with butter and a herbed olive oil and we liked it a lot. She loves the asparagus soup and that was all she wanted. I ordered the strip steak (medium) and the Patata Pugliese. The steak came just the way I wanted; pink all the way through and nicely browned crust. It was accompanied by some arugula with a hard Italian cheese and olive oil, so I got my greens. I brought about a third of it home and it will likely end up in a steak sandwich. The potato was a huge russet or Idaho cut into a few large segments and drizzled with olive oil. It had the skin on and was cooked to perfection. Half of it came home to be air-fried and served with ham and egg. She enjoyed a couple of slices of the steak and potatoes. Service was friendly and responsive. The ambience is top-class. We are happy to have a top-class steak house back in our neighborhood.

   Outstanding experience in every way, exceptional food and service. Our party of five ordered several small plates along with the Bronzino and the Fiorentina, every dish was excellent. Highly recommend this place, especially for groups of 4+ so you can sample multiple dishes.

   Restaurant was great but very very loud. Hard to hear people across the table.

   Food was great and really like the variety of flavors and dishes they have. Service was pretty good too. Wish the steak was a little more cooked as our medium rare came out rare. The noise level in there was a little bit much and could benefit from noise dampening tiles in ceiling.

   WOW! Amazing experience of dining. The entire night we felt like we were given such attention and guidance from the perfect appetizers to the Primi to the ensalada to the pasta and bone-in-ribeye! Wow! Dawn and the entire staff were welcoming and attentive —-we must have had six wait staff taking care of us. We felt we were in the kind of care European restaurants strive for…can’t wait to come back.

   Server, Dawn, outstanding. Helped us choose entree. Happy to split porterhouse steak cooked perfectly. Paired a great Italian red. Super unusual salad. There is a chefs table (bar seat) overlooking kitchen. We will try that next time. Manager attentive as well. Was a great Christmas Eve dinner.

    Ordered the porterhouse and ribeye, both were fantastic! The gnocchi is extremely small but tasty.
