The restaurant is stylish and chic, the service is good but the food was just OKAY. Presentation of the hugely portioned pasta dishes was decent but the flavor and freshness of my cheese tortellini with prosciutto, peas & mushrooms alfredo was quite forgettable. For the price, I’d pass on this place next time I’m in the mood for authentic Italian.
The Cheese Tortellini is insane!. I shared a plate of their Cheese Tortellini with a friend. She melted. When made with fettuccine, it’s called Paglia e Fieno and it’s my favorite Italian dish. I’ve had it in many places. Even ordered it off the menu. But it’s never been this good. And the owner, Shawn, is the friendliest, most hands-on managers I’ve ever seen.
Service was great- friendly staff, very efficient and helpful. I love all of the gluten free options- and the gluten free bread is some of the best I have had. Lots of menu options! I will definitely come back! May have found a new favorite local restaurant!
I’ve been here a few times but would no longer recommend this place. Although they are nice, the waitstaff seem uneasy because the owners are always yelling at them. For this reason alone I don’t want to support the business. I heard the owner unprofessionally yell at the staff twice for little mistakes. I felt bad so I tipped more but won’t be coming back. The food is subpar, the risotto is bland, and its all overpriced anyway. I’d recommend supporting a different business that seems to respect their employees.
Great soups. Great vegetarian options. Great atmosphere. Worth exploring
It was okay. The waitress was unfriendly, the avocado on the salad was brown and old the water was good, the pasta was good and the bread was good.
Just ok. I’ve passed by here many times and was very excited to try it. We sat outside, service wasn’t the greatest. Foodwise-I had the linguine w/ pesto, it was ok. But my friend’s eggplant parmesan w/ mozzarella looked good, so I think I just didn’t order the right thing. Even though didn’t meet my expectations, I would go back and try something else.
