Stopped in for some small plates and a glass of wine and it was a solid call. Ordered the bacon wrapped dates, a couple meatballs, and the Rigatoni Alla Rigo. Dates had that sweet-salty thing going and the pasta with spicy sausage was creamy and filling. Place has a warm, snug feel and the wine list is solid. I’d go back for the pasta again.
It's such a great vibe and atmosphere! The music is always awesome as is the service. Love this place and the owners!!
You guys this place has been around for 20 years! Parking is insanely easy I got a spot right in front! We need to keep patronizing these hidden gems. I sat at the bar with friends and the bartender Drew was such a fabulous host! So attentive and so generous and very knowledgeable about wines. He let us try a few because he understood we were picky. There was live bossa nova Music and the place is very intimate and perfect. The design is early 2000’s but somehow works so well-...read full review
