Such a cute local gem! We sat at the bar, loved that. Bartender last night was great! We started with the mussels (good) and burrata (I'd prob try something different next time), focaccia (excellent) but things really took off from there. The old fashioneds? Perfection. The tagliatelle boscaiola - pasta and applewood smoked bacon? So good--hearty yet not too heavy. And then... the absolute star of the night: the butterscotch pudding. Hands down the best I've ever had in my life. My only regret? Not ordering a coffee with it. The whole place has a cozy, local vibe, nestled in a charming little courtyard. 10/10 cute vibes!

We came here with a large party for brunch, and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the Short Rib Benedict (eggs poached hard) and it was SO delicious. Spectacular hollandaise sauce, yummy short ribs, pepperonata (sautéed peppers and onions), and the BEST roasted potatoes i've ever had!!!!! The yukon gold potatoes were soft on the interior, wonderfully crispy on the outside, and encrusted with the best flavors and spices. Wow. The mimosas were tasty too. All in all, a great time.

First time here and the service by Rebecca was excellent. We did not make a reservation because we found this place on yelp last minute. We were lucky enough to get a seat at the bar so we could transfer to a bigger dinner table when one opened up. They were smart to transfer the drinks onto the same server that helped us originally at the bar which was smart. Let's start off by saying the cocktails were all really great. We had a French 75, white wine, red wine, espresso Martini and an old fashion. So good! Rebecca definitely recommend the persimmons beet salad and it was really delicious. The gnocchi was devine and I wished I ordered the potatoe leek soup next time. We got the short rib and fettuccini bolognese and was the perfect size and amount of food. The flavor was definitely there and the noodles were eldente. As far as the ambiance, I like how the booth seating was very private and cozy. The high wall were really the best for having a great private conversation over amazing Italian food and wine. We definitely will return!!

We came in on Saturday night,requested patio seating thinking we'd have a heater but waitress said only in the back section.That was a bummer but luckily I have a blanket in my car. My mom ordered the chicken picatti,I had the vodka penne and my husband had the special- some type of stuffed noodle.We all loved our dishes! I also ordered 2 orders of Focaccia bread,that bread is amazing definitely double up on that to soak up the tasty sauce in your dish.We also got pumpkin brûlée,butterscotch pudding and flourless chocolate cake.All amazing! Great service, we love the patio! Inside looks cozy so we'll definitely request a booth inside for upcoming winter!I found the patio without heaters little too chilly

This is one of those "hidden gems" that is located in a strip mall. The drinks: apparently they are known for their cocktails, and the Old Fashioned I ordered was perfect! The food: Italian themed, the focaccia bread is $6 per order but fresh and worth it! The entrees were tasty, my husband thinks the portion sizes were too small. The ambiance: I can only speak to the outside area which is romantic and very classy! The service: Overall, very friendly and efficient.

Went here for Sunday brunch. They take reservations, which is nice. At 11am, they were not too busy. Still some empty tables and patio seating available. I got the lobster Benedict and it was good. Lots of big pieces of lobster like claw meat. I also got their tiramisu and enjoyed that was well. Service was great. Water was constantly being refilled. Plenty of parking. Appeared they have heat towers outside for those chilly dinner nights. Would return if ever in the area.
