JOSE was our Waiter last night his service was impeccable! Smiles, jokes, makes you laugh, he waited on our party of 8 for 2 Birthdays, my Son and Mom, our party had various meals and everyone enjoyed! Jose always came back asking if we needed anything else, always made sure we had enough refills on drinks and making sure food was great. The restaurant is beautiful. Jose mentioned a dessert that crossed my curiosity. It was a Basil Blueberry Cheesecake. Now you would think spicy, not at all, it was delicious when you incorporate that savory and sweet flavors it was truly amazing! When I forgot the cakes, Jose had a plan B and made the Birthdays just as special. Thank you for making our 1st a Great Time! Will Definitely be coming back!The only thing that was a little difficult was finding a place to park, but other than that we asked after getting in and they do have a garage you can get your ticket stamped. Call ahead for parking.Hoping in the future that your restaurant might consider Valet Parking.

This was a great little find!. I didn't give it 5 stars because my martini glass had dried sugar on the stem, which made my finger stick to it. This made the glass tip, and most of the martini spilled. I was expecting the waiter to offer me a new drink. I wasn't. What a shame. If something is wrong, and it's not my doing, make it better! That's great customer service.

My son is extremely picky and our waiter (Jose ) went above and beyond he brought him samples and even gave him doughnuts to make his sad face turn around. I have never had a server care so much about making his day before. He was attentive and understanding. The pomegranate martini is top notch here and the food no matter what you choose is delicious. We had pastas and chicken and everyone was delighted. Dessert does not disappoint! The only sad thing is that this restaurant does not have more locations as we drive over an hour to eat here. If that doesn't tell you that you should include this wonderful gem of a place on your next outing then I don't know what will.Kid-friendliness: The staff is willing to go out of the way make your little one feel included and happy!

What a great spot! On a whim, we drove into the area and after finding easy street parking, decided to give this place a try. We were a party of four and easily seated early (5:15 or so) on a Saturday. By the time we left at 6:45ish they were packed! Bread to start is just as people rave about, served with oil/cheese for dipping. We got the zucchini puffs to start and they were delicious - light and fluffy and even the kids wanted seconds. Kids split a pizza and husband got a short rib special. I went with the chicken calabrese as I have a really hard time with Italian food (no cream, tomatoes are often too acidic for me). Perfect choice - the batter was crisp and two huge chicken breasts with just the right kick from the peppers. Comes with roasted potatoes, but I was so full from the chicken I didn't get much of those. Husband thought the mash on his plate had some garlic or onion which he is opposed to, but ate all the rest (meat/asparagus). Kids ate all but two pieces of their pizza and still managed some flourless chocolate cake and vanilla gelato. All this and a few drinks and we were just north of $150 which is a steal! Run, don't walk and ask for Andres, who was a fantastic server! Can't wait to go back and try more!

Great little date night dinner with the fiancé! Got the Cucina Puffs, Rigatoni Arrabbiata, and Spaghetti Amatriciana. Waiter even recommended wine for both of us to try. So good!

Service was amazing at this location. Everyone was friendly and responsive.The meatballs were light and moist, but had a mild flavor.I didn't think the sun dried tomatoes added anything to the Caesar salad.Overall the food was ok, with great service.

Luckily this place was open on Christmas Eve. Mom didn't have enough Alfredo sauce so I asked for some when I picked up the pizza I ordered. The sauce was perfect and so was the pizza.
