I wanted to write this review to make sure Roberto got credit for the AMAZING care he took of my family at my son’s baptism brunch in August.
We had a wonderful time using the upstairs section of the restaurant and having access to the outdoor patio for cocktail hour and then a long table set up indoors for dining.
Drinks were full, coffees refilled, food looked and tasted amazing! Even the picky eaters in our family were super satisfied. Roberto was so respectful...
October 2024
Great location, great decor, good service, shame about the food I ordered. Dry chicken, tasteless calamari, a carbonara absolutely drowning in cheese sauce. That’s $90 for 2 people. Yikes. For a first time patron, it wasn’t what I was expecting.
August 2024
Absolutely love this place. From the atmosphere to the service you feel like you are amongst friends/family. They have a gorgeous upstairs venue where we had our wedding reception at. The food never disappoints. In the summer they open up a whole wall like window making it perfect for indoor or outdoor seating to enjoy. Highly recommend

Vegetarian options: They have various vegetarian options and you can make any dish for the most part vegetarian.
