Everything is great about this restaurant. They are remarkably great in the neighborhood and the staff are top-notch. And the food is amazing. Eat here!
Excellent experience! The food was superb, the service impeccable. An added bonus was the tribute to Burt Bacharach, with many songs played by a violinist. We will definitely return.
It's my neighborhood go-to. You could say we're "regulars." And you wouldn't be wrong. We usually sit at the bar and chat with the bartender or the folks sitting next to us. The food is very good to great (but I'll admit these days I usually have the Chicken Milanese and arugula salad). The ambiance is very upscale Italian. The cocktails are excellent.
