We actually came across this place for the calamari and it is phenomenal. Great breading and not at all greasy feeling. The food is amazing every time we have come here. Their cocktails have been spot on and the server was able to offer an off the menu cocktail hand crafted by the bartender. 10/10 great for romantic nights, friendly get togethers and bringing the family around too

Nice up-scale Italian inspired restaurant. We made reservations to celebrate birthdays. We enjoyed our meals. The food was delicious. Wood fired pizza & homemade pasta are excellent. Seating was a bit tight but the service was great.

We just popped in for a little something, maybe a snack, first time here. And surprise ! what do you know, it was 4:00pm and happy hour. We ordered some calamari for a snack and a beer to wash it down. The calamari sauce was delicious and calamari was perfect and not oily. Of course the beer cold and the wine refreshing to enjoy. Great spot to reflect on the day with a splash of jazz in the background, so cool, loved it ! I'll be coming back.

We recently celebrated my birthday at this restaurant, and the experience was exceptional. The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The setting was peaceful, allowing us to fully enjoy the meal. The food was outstanding, with beautiful presentation and generous portions. A standout was the delicious pizza topped with pears and brie, as well as the baked brie appetizer served with fruits and honey—it was simply unforgettable

I had reservations, and upon arrival ten minutes early, we were seated promptly, which was a plus. The service was superb, and I would like to thank Gabriel S. for his amazing service. It was almost a full house, and he still made the effort to make sure we were taken care of from each dish served to water glasses staying filled. I highly recommend this gentleman be recognized if he hasn't already, and if you're in this restaurant, I highly recommend you request him to complete a perfect day/night. The food was amazing, to say the least. We had a Ceaser Salad, Soup of the day (Tomato Bisque type soup), Gnocchi (like a potato dumpling type dish with an amazing sauce), Jerk Chicken Pappardelle (the best entree in the building hands down), and for desert it was Tiramisu and some Salted Caramel Ice Cream that also were amazing and the Tiramisu actually taste like Tiramisu and not all watery. The Sex on the beach (alcohol drink) was made right and to perfection along with their Six Grapes Port (desert wine). All in all, the whole experience was amazing, and we plan to be back back for sure. And to the cook, I would like to thank you as well. You really did your thing in the kitchen.

We made a reservation a month in advance for my best friend’s birthday. The service, food, and experience were outstanding. They even brought us complimentary happy birthday flowers for the table. Food was EXCEPTIONAL. We got the pizzas and pastas, and the salmon. I can’t wait to go back.

Celebrated my birthday here with my mom. The service was superb as my waiter and other staff were attentive. The food was delicious and surprisingly fast (maybe it has to do with being a weekday). I truly appreciated celebrating my birthday! PS. I’m glad they don’t embarrass the waiter or the patron by singing happy birthday! Haha.
