This is a really beautiful restaurant nestled in an older part of town in what was obviously a church. This gives a great experience just for the venue itself. We met our party at the table covered in white linen. Definitely dress up a little. No need for formal wear but don't wear a tee shirt and jeans! Plenty of staff milling about all working to give everyone a good experience. It took a minute for anyone to come back to the table once we had an arrived. Our main waitress was nice and took our drink order. No cold glasses for the beer. This level of restaurant should have this available. This is where space may be an issue due to the old bones of the church. Lots of wine on shelves and on the menu. A fair amount of beer selection and ask, because they had Peroni, but it wasn't on the menu. They brought focaccia bread with olive oil. It was warm and fresh. I had the chicken cutlets, lightly fried over cut potatoes and spinach, with a very good brown sauce with mushrooms. The waitress had told us that the potatoes were mashed, but it didn't matter. The dish was tasty and came out hot. The price point was a little high for chicken, but you're paying for the experience and ambience as well, so not an issue for us. Keep this in mind if the venue is not your thing. My wife had the fresh fettuccini with garlic and mushrooms. The brown sauce was very similar to the one used on the chicken. Tasty but over salted. The other couple also ordered the chicken and enjoyed it and also the ravioli with sausage and broccoli rob with a white sauce. No description on the menu for the sauce. We all ordered the Caesar salad that was made table side. The curious thing was that my wife and I said we'd split the $13 salad and they gave us each a sizable plate from the same mixing bowl. Our friends ordered and didn't specify that they wanted to split the salad and were each charged $13? We all pretty much had the same portions. The salad was good but I had to ask for fresh black pepper. And no anchovies. Got to have them for an authentic Caesar salad. I know most folks don't like them, but at least offer them on the side. Dessert was seen all thru out the meal as it rolled by on a cart. It was a nice presentation and a good selection. Our friend had the crème brûlée cheese cake. Very nice and fresh. Everyone was nice and clean place with pretty good food and top notch ambience. This place would be great for a romantic dinner or special celebration. I'd go back for a second meal if we're near the area. The service was nice but you get a variety of servers and no one really takes on the table themselves and interacts to form that real dining experience. Don't get me wrong everyone was pleasant, but no one really stepped it up. The restaurant was fairly full but not overwhelming.

Beautifully done delicious birthday dinner in an elegant atmosphere! We had Escarole Salad, Lobster Ravioli, Eggplant Parmigiana, French Onion Soup, & Steak Au Pouive, Giovanni & Mona knocked it out of the park again! Simple clean delicious flavors pop in the mouth with each bite! The lighting, pace, music, decor, & service staff, make for an extremely nice experience!!

A very beautiful location with nice staff. The food was way overpriced for the quality they served. I've had better food at the grocery store cafeteria. The drinks were also sub par, very watered down.

Loved everything about this restaurant. The food was exceptional, the ambiance inviting and dessert was phenomenal! Service was slightly different. We had three different servers who covered the bar and dining room. Some were more attentive than others. I've not experienced this before while dining out. Needless to say, we would

Overall, we had a great experience! The service was friendly and the atmosphere was nice for a birthday dinner. The food is definitely pricey and mostly worth it. You don't get a lot of food, but what you do get is delicious. My husband's lobster ravioli was spot on, he just didn't get a lot of raviolis and my entree was pretty good. I don't remember exactly what I got and don't see it listed on the menus posted right now (we went Wednesday 11/8/23). We were both still a little hungry afterwards, but if we had done a full app, entree and dessert I think we would have been good. The only downside is that we went for my birthday and when my husband made the reservation and told them it was my birthday, he was told I would get a cake. But they never served it, it felt weird asking so we didn't push for it, which is on us and not them. Overall a good experience!Parking: There's a lot next to the restaurant that has space for a few cars and there's street parking too.
