Fantastic place - food was delicious and they do amazing gluten free pasta. The team working there are so friendly. Thank you so much!
Amazing food. Huge portions. Great staff. Will be back!
We had a later night dinner reservation and it was amazing. Our server was sweet and playful, she did not make us feel rushed once. Help with the menu and suggestions. The artichoke app was amazing but the star of the night were the fried burrata truffle pasta and the perfectly cooked scallops. Very satisfied with this dining experience.
