The service was wonderful. The staff were attentive and helpful. I had the mozzarella antipasti, it was lacking flavor and needed more oil. I ordered the spaghetti carbonara. It lacked the cheese but it was creamy. The pasta was al dente. The cocktail, Manhattan was a sipper! The creme brule was ok.

This is a rather small local restaurant. Attire would be business casual to upscale casual. Reservations are suggested. They have very creative menus and tasting options. Service and food quality is always excellent.Parking: There is an adjacent free parking lot but it's quite small. You'll typically be parking on the street and within one block.

This is my boyfriend and I’s favorite restaurant. We love what they did, decor wise, with the space they have. We also have been here multiple times over the past year and a half and we’ve received the same incredible service and delicious food every single time. Every person who works here is so kind. My favorite things to order are the caesar salad and the mushroom fettuccine. I always get different desserts and appetizers and each one I try I love. This restaurant is the best, you definitely can’t skip this one!

The restaurant is lovely and the service was great but the halibut was such a disappointment. It was tough and dry, completely overcooked, I left most of it on the plate. Also, very strange but there was nothing else on the plate, just two hunks of overcooked fish. Not sure if this was a bad night or if this is their regular treatment of fish.

My friend took me here and he is first generation Italian-American. If he loves it, it must be good, eh? I am in total agreement. Excellent food in a cool atmosphere. I will come back when I am in town on business again.

We stopped in late on a Monday evening for a glass of wine and dessert. We sat at the bar and enjoyed our delicious dessert and wine while getting to hang out with the hard working crew behind the counter. I love making connections with people and this evening was one I will not forget.

The flavors of the food were absolutely sensational, I can't wait to go back!Pictured: Gamberi shrimp, Ravioli (special) with Rosemary Browned butter sauce, Fettuccine with braised short ribs, flourless Chocolate Cake with red wine caramel.
The food was very tasty. We loved the tiramisu dessert as well. However prices are high for the very small portions. Also, some menu items are incorrectly listed as vegetarian. The menu lists salad with Caesar anchovy dressing and a pasta with parmesan cheese as vegetarian. Neither item is vegetarian.

Amazing authentic Italian food! Went here on a Thursday evening and had no issue getting a nice table outside. Our waitress Bridgette was amazing, very knowledgeable about the menu and items. She ensured my pesto was made just how I like it! Would eat here again, and again! The Cesar salad was phenomenal.

I have lived near this restaurant for about a year. Because of the lack of signage, I at first didn’t even know that a restaurant existed there - it wasn’t until I saw customers eating on the patio during the nice weather that I realized it was a restaurant at all. This is a total hidden gem in every way. The service is outstanding and helpful without being overwhelming, and the atmosphere feels as though you’ve somehow entered a real Italian corner filled with delicious smells and happy sounds. The freshly made pasta was absolutely scrumptious, made with clean and fresh meats and vegetables, cheeses and butter, wonderfully flavored and well-portioned. Do not skip dessert, do not fail to try the warm bread, and order a bottle of wine to enjoy the evening. I highly recommend the patio on a pleasant evening. I would just like to personally share that this restaurant will always hold a special place in my heart from this day on, because it was a part of an uncommonly incredible evening I was able to share with my fiancé, and my mother - who lives out of the country and isn’t able to be here with us often. While there are many places you can spend an outrageous amount of money nowadays and walk away dissatisfied, this is not one of those places. While not being “cheap”, it is reasonable and worth the cost. While it is difficult to make a definitive promise from simply one visit, I can say as confidently as is possible that you should not hesitate to make a reservation and see for yourself.

The restaurant atmosphere suggests classy Italian with a very cute interior, white table linens, beautiful fresh flowers on each table but the food completely misses the mark.4 of us went to check out the cute place and celebrate a birthday. We got 2 appetizers: shrimp and smoked salmon…Shrimp consisted of 4 smallish shrimps with a weird sauce and cost $15… Tasted bad, as all of us agreed and a complete rip off….Salmon was more edible and came served on about a cup of of spinach without any dressing so unless you enjoy munching on spinach leaves, you will have a few tiny pieces of mediocre salmon and that too won’t be worth it…For entrees two of us ordered fettuccine with wild mushrooms, one a ragu pasta and one ravioli.Another disappointment for each: tiny portions for one…. Overcooked, overbuttered fettucine and wild mushrooms pastas…A dish called ragu was not ragu at all… it was the same overbuttered fettuccine with a tiny single piece of beef…..ravioli had 3 1 inch square pieces of ravioli….Disappointed with our meal we got 3 desserts: home made pistachio gelato ( not creamy, icy, not flavourful); espresso mouse ( decent) and panne cotta ( ok)Our bill for 4 people was around $180 and we left mildly hungry and highly disappointed. For a restaurant trying to be gourmet and upscale they miss every mark on food. We won’t be back and I strongly suggest that you save your money and time and go to Esthelle’s; Broders or IE for a great classy and delicious Italian classy meal.
