Casual dining place and portion is small for price however flavor is always on point and so many times we have been here, dessert is something I can skipped.
Flavorful and fresh . Great environment and excellent service

WOW. What a great experience!! I came here at 6:40 on a Friday night and, surprisingly, there was no wait. The restaurant was homey, clean, and cozy. Vince set us up and our waitress, May, kindly explained the menu. We ordered the Bread & Butter, Miso Bacon Carbonara, and Butokaku. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD! The focaccia bread was satisfyingly soft and fluffy like a sponge, paired wonderfully with the whipped honey butter. The Butokaku (pork belly) was savory, fatty, and salty. The Miso Bacon Carbonara had good flavor and nice bite, but I honestly wasn't super impressed with the mochi noodles. Regular pasta noodles might have been better. Overall, I was very impressed with the excellent service (down to cheese grated by the manager), warm interior decor, and beautiful presentation and flavors of the food. I couldn't help but peek at other peoples' tables -- Everything looked amazing. I definitely plan on coming back to try other dishes and dessert!!

Wanted to check this place out since it's Japanese-Italian Fusion. I like it way better than Inni! It's chill, food is delicious, and there was hardly a wait. Some menu items are a bit expensive for the amount you get, but overall, most items are reasonable and the flavor is like no other! Can't wait to come back and try more food.

Really enjoyed our meal here. We stopped in for a late afternoon lunch, which was outside the typical dining time and allowed us to beat the rush. We had heard it gets busy around dinner, so this worked out perfectly. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our meal. Everything we ordered was delicious, from starters to dessert, and full of flavor. The carbonara and the amberjack were definite standouts for me, with unexpected flavors that worked very well together. Portions were great, and the pricing was very reasonable for the quality. I will definitely be coming back.

1. The dishes were delicious and well-presented! I I really like the smoked short rib cavatelli! 2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The interior has high ceilings! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with our order! They were very attentive! Note: There is a bathroom available for customers!

Everything our group tried was excellently prepared, fresh, and so yummy! Also, hospitality was A+++. The chef even came out to greet us to make sure everything was up to standard. Their menu changes based on what’s in season, can’t wait to go back to try some new, creative dishes.

We had an amazing lunch here. The Caesar salad was superb - probably the best I’ve ever had - citrus notes with a hint of spice. A unique take that I will definitely be back for. Pesto pasta was out of this world. My mom made pasta with pesto from basil she grew in her garden. This was every bit as good - maybe better - which is saying a lot. Miso ice cream was delicious. We will be returning to try other menu items for sure. Best meal I’ve had a in a while and I eat out often.

Long overdue review.
Came here for dinner w a bunch of girlfriends. Spontaneous night out but 1st dinner Saturday 8.24.25.
Had reservations, we were about 10-15 mins late so called to let the associates know. Right when we got there, it was a full house. Had to wait 10-15 mins for our table.
Came almost close to end of day along soft opening so their menu was out with a lot of stuff. Understandable since they did have a full house meaning it was pretty successful for soft opening weekend.
It’s a Japanese Italian fusion restaurant. I’m not too big fan of pasta so i was ok with all the food along w my girlfriend did say it needed more seasoning on majority all of their food. Not sure if it was just that night we went in to dine. But i felt it could’ve had more flavor to each dish. I’m familiar with Italian food especially it’s somewhat suppose to have a Japanese kick to it. Why i deducted 1 star since i didn’t love the food.
Customer service was top notch. We received our items in a timely manner.
The restaurant itself was really simple w nice green artificial greenery hanging from the ceiling lights decor.
Restaurant isn’t too big and can get pretty crowded easily.
Located next to Eastern Tales Thai tea shop with a lot of parking available.
Idk if this would be a restaurant I’d return since I’m not a fan of Italian food but would come if my friend’s choice to celebrate an occasion here.
Wishing much success to the restaurant though, looks like since I’ve gone there. A lot of foot traffic, Just not really my cup of tea.
Definitely will be coming back Delicious and flavorful ribs and pasta plates

Uni Vongole was ok. Felt like with the price($28)it should come in with more seafood, or with sides like soup, bread or a small salad.

Lunch; Went when there was only 10 minute wait. The $28 Appetizer, entree, and dessert combo is a great deal, and got two sets of that for 4 people. The other reviews hit the main items on the main items pretty accurately, so our group ordered the Buta and the Foccacio bread, which were severely under rated.
Foccacio Bread which was fresh baked, and the side of butter which made it stick out. I normally would not order bread when eating out since it's a filler item, but this was great.
Additionally The Buta (pork) bowl was the one with the strongest flavor, but it's so strong it I would eat it last and recommend eating with the bread to shoe the sauce and flavors.

BOMB food here. Killer combo: freshly baked bread with the butokaku to soak up the sauce. Put a piece of the pork belly on the crispy side of the foccacio and I swore I was in a Michelin star restaurant. Wish I took pictures. Get it while the prices are low and they're recovering their star ratings lol. ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐ highly recommend (Small issues with outside sunlight glare and noise levels, hard to hear anything. Needs a room divider in front of the door, and stuff on the walls to dampen sound.)
