Cozy little upscale Italian bistro. Pleasantly satisfied on our first visit. Monday features byo-wine with no corkage fee. Everything was made to order. Service was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Recommend Will return

Visited this bistro for the first time last night. The fresh ricotta with balsamic grapes and grilled bread was divine! My carbonara entree was a very generous portion size, and the homemade pasta was some of the best I've ever had. Loved the cozy atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious made from scratch Italian food.

Went there for dinner prior to going to a local concert. Everything was booked up, but they were able to fit us in at the bar. The bartender was our server and she did a wonderful job. I ordered the gnocchi and thought they were wonderful. If you’ve had gnocchi you know the key is how long they’re cooked and these were perfect. Also did the beet salad as an appetizer which was terrific. Would give them an unequivocal thumbs up and highly recommend.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were quickly welcomed and seated. The server was on top of everything. Each time she checked in on us she was very friendly. The food was delicious, too! We'll make sure to come back when in the area, again.

In one simple sentence, I'd describe this place as a casual-dining, Italian Bistro with excellent service, exceptional food and well-balanced drinks. I'll start with our server, Kayley - that I immediately liked - but being our first time here - I didn't know whether her tastes aligned with ours and whether she could be 'trusted'. She absolutely earned it - when we go back I'll ask to be in her section. Her first recommendation was for a fried goat cheese balls - and we like goat cheese - but I'd describe this dish as perfection. The thinly-breaded exterior was golden brown and texturally executed perfectly; the cheesy interior held its shape but was slightly soft, the relish gave it some heat and the arugula gave it something fresh as well as slightly bitter, but in a good way. We both ha
