    Went there for our anniversary dinner and couldn't be happier with our meal. The mussels are hearty, fresh, a good size... so fresh and yummy, I can drink that sauce. The Mushroom flatbread of the day was richly covered with fresh ingredients...and had a super delicious balance of flavors with glazes. The leg of lamb, cooked Osso Bucco style, was just the most unforgettable dish-- tender, moist, flavorful and accompanied by a perfectly seasoned au jus gravy and the most memorable and perfectly cooked polenta. For someone who is not a fan of lamb or polenta, that dish turned me around as its homey and still very delicate. The chefs there have really mastered their technique. My husband had the fish special cooked soft and with perfectly seared edges and with a delicious al dente risotto and fresh broccolini. We brought a Carmen Chilean wine that was perfect for the meal. Ever since this place opened people refer to it as a jewel and it's still a precious spot for an unforgettable BYOB dinner.

    What a cute little intimate spot for a delicious Italian dinner! We went during Restaurant Week which was a great deal of one appetizer, entree, and dessert for $45/pp! We order the caesar salad, arancini, meatballs, and the ricotta toast! All were VERY good. I would get them again. The arancini has mushrooms INSIDE the rice ball which I never experienced before. The meatballs were juicy and seasoned really well. The ricotta toast was to die for!! The honey really complemented the ricotta well. Our meals were all delicious! The desserts were good, too! The service was amazing. We really enjoyed the BYOB option!

    Restaurant food is very good. Ambience lacks a lot. The table are so close to each other that you feel like you are having dinner with the neighbor. The tables are separate by only two inches from each other. Otherwise appetizers and food are very good.
