“What an incredible dinning experience. The decor is beautiful. Love the dark green velvet booths, very roomy. We had 6 at our table and had plenty of room. Drinks were very tasty, loved how each came in a different glass. We ordered an assortment of small plates, naan, and large plates. Everything was out of this world. I highly recommend. Make sure to make a reservation as they only have 15 tables and only 2 seatings per night.“

The green and white checkered tile floor and the large pasta where all of their pasta is made fresh just scream authentic Italian. Although the menu has an awesome selection, the Tagliatelle is outstanding, and the fresh pasta is very refreshing.

Great food, great drinks and friendly staff, you just can't go wrong here. Cheers!“

“The BBQ was amazing and the baked beans followed suit. The cornbread was disgusting, but friends said the sweet potato muffin was great. That being said the older gentleman behind the counter needs to learn how to speak to people like an adult. You could have walked up to us and asked us to turn the car off. It would not have been a problem as we talked longer than expected. Instead he threw furniture around the patio like a toddler and screamed turn it off. Not a good look, communication is key.“

“I had an awesome time earlier this week celebrating a good friend's 25th birthday here. We had the rooftop reserved (both inside and outside). The supervisor Mac and the bartenders Greyson and Brittany were AWESOME! They helped to set the place for the reservation. They catered to the large volume and drink orders. They even made a desert with candles last minute as we sang "Happy Birthday!" The staff here definitely helped to make the night memorable and fun. I did not personally try the food but friends said that it was great! Service and atmosphere were both 10/10.“
