The food was frankly super disappointing. The photos that people have posted looked amazing, our food when we got it looked amazing, just look at my photos. Me and my boyfriend were very excited to enjoy our meals, the gnocchi and the carbonara, and almost immediately tried them when our waiter put them down, only to immediately be VERY disappointed with the taste. It was the most boring and unflavorful food we have ever had the displeasure of eating.( And no, we aren't sick with covid or anything).i understand that simple recipes and foods can be quite elevated but this wasnt that. Simple foods must be done well and our meals werent. The carbonara was basically spaghetti noodles with olive oil, with a teeny tiny hint of egg and cheese, i had to force myself to eat it so i wouldnt waste my money. the gnocchi had a very boring tomato sauce, and that was more edible, but still not great for the price.The only reason this place gets two stars instead of 1 is their staff. Our waiter was very attentive, restocking on the bread and water often. He was nice and friendly and good at his job. The restaurant was nice, well cleaned,but the music was incredibly loud.If you want pretty photos for social media and don't care about actually yummy food, then this is the place for you! We will not be coming back.

I really wanted to love this place, but we found the entrees we ordered to be very underwhelming, especially for the prices they charge. The pasta was bland and lukewarm, and for almost $30 a plate you don’t get very much food. I also found a small bug crawling on my husband’s plate. It’s definitely more “designer Italian food” than it is “traditional Italian food.”Two stars for our friendly waiter and the delicious bread before the meal.

The quality of the Italian food was top shelf. My wife had the special, a Branzino, delivered to the table on a cart and it was prepared impeccably. I had the veal parmigiana which was prepared with the bone. The best I have had in the state of Michigan. The waiters visited the table often with drinks/water, etc. but the kitchen was a little slow. A great place to eat for a special dinner as the cost matched the quality of the food.

Went on Valentine' Day with the wife and kids. Food was excellent as was the service. So glad we have another top-tier Italian place in downtown Royal Oak again.

We were there last night. Everything was wonderful. Our waiter was the best! We were on the 2nd floor which was a cool setting w chandeliers and lots of windows. We had a lobster pasta and the pasta Nero both were delicious-we can't wait to go back!!!!
Outstanding service , went way beyond any expectations. Food was fabulous. Table side prep was a treat .

The service was great, shoutout to Zelle. He did well, knew his menu, and was attentive. Candidly, the chef and line cooks need to be on the same page. Everything was well plated, but also bland and absolutely missed that special something. Lots of potential.

I love this place when im there which is why im giving it 3 stars. I ordered takeout and granted things are gonna look and taste a little different but y’all should be embarrassed sending this out of your kitchen for human consumption. Pasta overcooked, sauce where? And the essence of veal pork and beef? Do better.

Wow, just wow! I happened to visit on a family trip recently, and I was very impressed by this new favorite. The garlic bread, pappardelle pesto, and wine selection were great, and I was excited to see 00 flour being used. I also loved the rooftop patio area, and would love to revisit it in the summer Our server Jade was also very friendly and welcoming.Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten-free penne.
