Th place is beyond phenomenal! I’m so glad I brought my appetite because the servings are to share. The atmosphere was so inviting and delightful. The interior design was more on the comfort side, the chairs were of my favorite style, tufted! I’m glad that we did a 3 course meal. The calamari was crispy and the zucchini along with the arugula combo was just such the perfect antipasto! My cacio e pepe was just superb -crack pepper is the way to go with the cellentane and the pecorino romano cheese wheel! To finish it all, a l... read more

The food was really good, they have a good variety. Cocktails were good and they have a nice wine selection. Everything we order was good. The Tiramisu was served in a unique way, but it did lack espresso flavor. The servers were super friendly. The only bummer was that we asked for more bread and never got it. We asked 3 times and each time we were told: "Of course, right away!" We never got it. Other than that, it was great!

Went to celebrate my sister’s birthday. We went for an early dinner and I could see how this place could get packed. Make reservations. We ordered the porterhouse to share and it was cooked to perfection. As well as the pasta. I love that it’s a wood fire oven for their pizza. Flavor was spectacular! I would definitely come back and try their brunch and another time for dinner for other items on their menu.

Tables are too close to each other by the by the windows inside. Felt like we were dining with the table next to us. Definitely in each others space bubble.

Maria's service was excellent! Apparently, they were short-staffed because our meals came out in staggered batches. That meant some meals got cold while we waited for others. I wanted to give the place five stars, but this was a fail. It's noisy for carrying on conversations, like so many places now. The atmosphere was very lively and we'll try it again.

I had made a reservation via Open Table, but probably didn't need to. Upon arrival we were greeted by the hostess who offered us the choice of inside or outside. As it was brand new to us, and the chairs looked more comfortable, we opted for inside. The table we were offered was close to a family with two small children. My companion, being a kindergarten teacher in the last days of summer vacation, so we asked to move to a table away from small kids. We were immediately offered another spot, and, actually, ANY table we want... read more

Food was outstanding. The bread and butter they provide are the best in town. Pasta was truly Italian and with great flavor. Salmon entre was A+. Patio is super cute, and the upgrades they did over Farmer's Table are really nice and well done. While our server was cute and friendly, she lost steam towards the end, brought the wrong dish, never refilled the bread, never asked for second round of drinks. Not sure if she was newer or just tired, but a bit disappointing way to finish the night. Overall a very nice addition (rebr... read more
