    We came here to celebrate a birthday and boy was it packed on a Friday night. However, even as busy as they were, the service was exemplary. We started with a round of sparkling wine on the house because the restaurant was celebrating I think 30 years? We then got a round of drinks that were pretty good. All the food especially the pastas were delicious but what I really appreciated about the place was the service. We ordered scallops that were taking a little longer (probably because the kitchen was slammed with all the filled tables) and the staff kept us updated the whole time and even brought us a meatball on the house because of the delay. They really kept checking in with us to make sure we were happy. For the birthday, they brought out a dessert and sang. Honestly, they sang quite a few times that night so there were a lot of celebrations going on. We ended with some cookies that were very good. Just an aside but to give you an idea of how busy they were, there was apparently a pretty long line to the restrooms by the time were paying the check and getting ready to go. Not necessarily the best place for an intimate dinner since the noise level is on the louder side with all the diners.

    The ambiance here is impeccable and the service is fantastic. I came with a group of friends and ordered generously. Stand out dishes were the caesar salad, charred octopus and all the pasta! A great place for special occasions, celebrations, or just a nice night out. Also looooved their cookies but definitely a cookie for dessert/chocolate lovers.

    After my (not so pleasant) first visit at this restaurant the management group did reach out and I decided it was definitely worth giving them a second try. The ambience in the restaurant was lovely as usual. Our waiter this time around was exceptional. Chad was very knowledgeable of the menu items. He was timely with taking food/drink orders and simply put did not miss a beat. Even when the tables started filling up and the restaurant got busier, my husband, and I never felt abandoned. This time around ended up trying the truffle Caesar salad, which was really good however, it had a little too much dressing for my taste. The steak was very well prepared. I am definitely glad I got the mushroom Conserva on the side because it would've been too salty otherwise. The octopus appetizer was quite delicious. However, the horseradish was a little too overpowering for my taste. My favorite dish of the night was the rigatoni. The pasta was prepared al dente and to perfection. Never tried a pasta with this flavor profile before the pepperoncini definitely made it unique and I would highly recommended it. Thank you for making my second visit so much more pleasant.
