Food was fantastic, staff was attentive and bar made cocktails were great. Pricier but worth a visit.

Firstly, the food and the drinks were absolutely wonderful. Incredibly tasty, fine ingredients etc.That said at one stage some random server walked over to drop off our food and was blatantly staring at my girlfriend the whole time he was doing it, and even had the audacity to wink at her.I'm not someone who notices this stuff usually, but I legitimately have never seen anything like this in my life.It made me, my girlfriend, and my two aunts (she was meeting them for the first time) severely uncomfortable. It was incredibly creepy and verging on predatory.It genuinely could have ruined a very special and memorable night for me and my family. For the prices this restaurant charges, this absolutely should not be something that happens to customers.This guy should be fired immediately. I will be telling everyone I know not to go anywhere near this place until he is.

Overall good atmosphere, helpful staff. The menu is not large, it was difficult to find exactly what I wanted. They asked for the meat to be medium rare, but in fact the meat was rare and undercooked.

Still gave it a 4 as the atmosphere was nice and everything we ordered I enjoyed. Not sure if they were short staffed but our waiter just sucked. One of the diners with us was gluten free he never brought the menu. Had to look for him for water refills. Finally got up and found him sitting down writing god knows what in a notebook. If you went to a diner but a low end diner in the area you would get far better service. Almost like the bus boy had to fill it. I may seem harsh but the owner needs to know this. I am visiting from out of state but grew up here. When we got home family asked if they should try it. I said absolutely and my brother said he will never return because of service. I say go hopefully owner makes some needed changes. Important part food is on point

Had an amazing lunch here recently. The restaurant is very warm and inviting, the service was great! We ordered the pepperoni pizza and prosciutto to start. Both appetizers were delicious. For main course we ordered the gnocci and branzino. The gnocchi was cooked to perfection! The branzino was also very tasty. I do wish they had more options for side dishes as the sides were limited. Overall, I will definitely be back for dinner!

I recently moved to the Tri-State area and this has been my go-to! I popped in for a late lunch with my girlfriends and the service was wonderful.So much so that I’ve been back multiple times since!The fish stew and the gnocco frito are great! Always paired with a wonderful wine.Zucchini blossoms are perfect to share with multiple people too!The owner, Raffaele, and the manager, Elisa, are always extremely welcoming and eager to give the best dining experience!Could not recommend more ❤️

Went there on a Friday and of course it was busy. The decor is beautiful. It really was an attractive restaurant. Go there for that. The service was cold and rushed. We sat down and the food was served within 5 minutes of ordering. Not kidding. Also the waitress was acting like we were bothering her rushing through our conversations and the table was serviced by a busser. Anyway I ordered the ravioli and the pasta was hard not al dente. So I returned it. My thoughts is they put it in the microwave added more sauce and grated cheese and reserved it. The pasta was the same but microwave hot. They couldn’t make 6 new ravioli? My wife’s pizza was doughy and my friend didn’t eat the meat from her pasta. So the food was fair. It was a 3 which I view as fine.

Where do I begin… The hostess is beyond rude!! Customer service is awful. We were having a holiday party and on arrival we were bumped for a bigger party, with no notice. Never coming back.

Background music extremely loud making conversation at the table impossible.We requested that the music be turned down, which they did only to turn it back up again.When we requested politely they turn the music down one more time, the /owner came out of the kitchen with a terrible attitude.As a result we won’t return.
