Interesting. We rocked up to this restaurant last night at 7:30. They were busy but not too busy. We asked for a table. They said they aren't seating anymore for the night. They weren't supposed to shut til 9pm.

Came here for our anniversary and am so thrilled to have found a delicious pasta place close to home! The pasta hour is a great value. Indoor but open air atmosphere is relaxing. Service was attentive and friendly! Highly recommend the bread pudding, wagyu bolognese, and limoncello meringue cocktail.

Service was outstanding! Food and drinks were great, my favorite dishes were the risotto and bread pudding. If you parked in the garage ask for the QR code to scan for discounted parking. Make a res before you go! Wednesday drinks are half off for women :)
