Top notch! First time in Ithaca. I had a cocktail, starter and dinner and a cappuccino here. Totally a treat yo self moment. The place is decently priced but slightly pricy - but you get the quality of what you pay! The hanger steak and shoestring potatoes with the fresh vegetables is chef's kiss. The mixed salad starter will give me lunch for tomorrow and is also chef's kiss. The sparkling blue moon made me a prosecco lover. And the service was attentive and personal.

My husband and I visited while we were in town and loved it. Our server Keiaria was so kind and everything she recommended was delicious especially the panna cotta. Will definitely return next time we’re back.
Everyone here is amazing, vibes, food, everything was perfect!

The menu may be small, but the food is consistently delicious, with standout dishes like chicken Marsala, black pepper fettuccine, and pasta options such as Pappardelle with duck ragu and Butternut mezzalune. The cozy vibe inside adds to its charm, making it a perfect spot for a date night or special occasion. The restaurant is popular, so there may be a wait since they do not take reservations.

For dessert, the Ginger Panna Cotta is a highlight. The attentive service includes thoughtful touches like splitting dishes without asking and helpful wine choices.
