It's a gift to have a restaurant of this quality right on Grand Ave. It is as good as anything you'd find in New York, where its original owners are from, and the new owner (original chef) has somehow improved it further.

A great spot for a fancy date night or occasion (with a price tag to match), cozy atmosphere and attentive service. The food is universally excellent, Italian inspired but strikingly modern in sensibility.

The highlight...
Service was kind but at times forgetful and needed some reminding. Grilled chicken dish was not very crispy, rather slimy coated in a later of skin/fat atop with tartar sauce. Herbs, toppings and seasonings were on point. Wouldn't order the chicken again. Room temperature water in pitcher is your initial greeting, no ice. No paper napkins for silverware, just napkin for your lap and silverware to be left on top of the bare table where waiter places them. Server's hygiene...
No notes! Beautiful meal, 4 guests and we shared 4 apps, 4 entrees (2 large and 1 small pastas) and the desserts. We were very impressed by the seasonality and freshness of the dishes. Their chefs and cooks really hit the right balance of flavors, textures and presentation. Our favorites were the burrata and flatbread (seems like a staple), snap peas (must try while it is on!) and the 3 pastas were also delicious! 3 of us were not drinking and were satisfied with the NA options....
