Tight, small place. Loud, hard to talk.

A relaxing atmosphere with a limited number of seats inside and a small outdoor enclosed patio. Lighting is subdued but you can still read the menu and the music was generally 80s rock but at a nice level, so you can actually talk with your dining companion(s). Service was friendly, efficient and they were happy to explain things. Menu has about 8 starters, 6 or so pastas or Risottos and on our visit, you could choose between salmon, pork chop or wagyu spare ribs. Many of the dishes feature unusual or adventurous combinations or ingredients and, in fact that led us to some of our choices. All were excellent tasting and perfectly cooked. The wine list has an excellent, well curated selection both by glass or by bottle and the prices are very fair. One other thing to note is a 7% addition to the bill for the local health mandates to supply health care to the employees.

I recommend coming with someone and getting the tasting menu. But i came alone. I walked by around 515pm and was able to get a table. The service was really good everyone was very warm and friendly. I got the asparagus, speghetti, and the chocolate moose. All 10/10 but again, i wish i had come with a friend and gotten the tasting menu.

It was very crowded on a Saturday night but the food and service were excellent. Special props to sourdough bread, oysters, wagyu short rib and chocolate mousse.

Nice night out, but wouldn’t return. The best part of the experience was the service. Food was fresh, but all of the dishes lacked balance and cohesion. The agnolotti was swimming in butter and the wagyu short-rib was over cooked. Too expensive for the quality delivered. Octopus in mole sauce was the one stand out of the night.
