“I had the opportunity to dine here at the beginning of March. I had been invited by one of my friends and he hyped it up pretty heavily. That hype was...shall we say, Understated? This place is a phenomenon. Ingredients in food don't have a soul. You bring that love and soul as the cook. Food is an emotional experience for me, and you can taste the love and passion Chef Sean Archer brings to every dish. From the scratch made pastas, sauces, bread, and desserts to the exceptional service and attention to detail, it was a 5-Star Experience and one of the best meals I've ever had...and as a classically French-trained Chef, I have had quite a few...but not many such as this. I got choked up expressing my gratitude in speaking with Sean. It was something I had been missing...the passion for what we do truly reflected in the food and service. I will return every time I come to town. Word through the Grapevine: A Deli may or may not be on the way. 🤭🤫 Stay Tuned!“

The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was simply divine. It's a dish that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting. This is definitely a place worth revisiting for a different dish.“

“This was our first time coming to this restaurant. My husband and I felt very welcomed all thanks to our wonderful server “ PATTY”. She was a delightful, helpful, wonderful human being that made our visit just beyond welcoming. She turned our bad day into a smiling one. She was very attentive and sold us on other things on the menu that we didn’t even know about. The food was tasty from the fresh mozzarella stick, to the soup and the delicious shrimp. The wine and drinks were delicious as well. We will for sure be back and ask for Patty again!“
