We chose the restaurant week menu - one veal, and upgraded one meal to try the seafood special - sea bass. Delicious. Rice ball appetizers and meatballs. The almond tort for dessert was amazing. Service was excellent even though restaurant was full. Food timing perfect and servers were friendly and fun.“

“This restaurant was a perfectly cozy place to bring our extended family (including two toddlers) to during the Thanksgiving weekend. Reservations were easy to make, the waiter was knowledgeable, prompt, and kind, and the food was delicious from appetizers to their spritzes and main course. Parking was easy, the restrooms were clean and we left happily full and well-served within 90 minutes, which is pretty awesome for a full restaurant!“

“I've come here for happy hour a few times the past 2 months. Their cocktails are $7...I got an espresso martini (which is an amazing deal these days), and a glass of chardonnay (house white) for $6. Their food has been so-so lately; not as good as it was when they opened, but still tasty. I recommend sitting at the bar if you can. If Diego is there...he'll take great care of you! He's friendly, fast, and will make sure you love everything you order.“
