    Roncie took care of us, very knowledgeable about the menu as well as wine list. Bread and whipped ricotta was amazing, fried olives bursted with flavor, pasta was Devine. Duck was my favorite. Great place to celebrate a birthday dinner for a loved one.

    Emily was an attentive and friendly server. We really enjoyed her! The food was excellent! We share prosciutto bruschetta, kale salad and the new item on the featured menu, chicken pesto sliders. The bruschetta didn’t have enough truffle oil but otherwise everything was delicious! I’m not sure what they can do about the noise level but it was difficult to hear my lunch mate! We would have sat outside but it was raining. Overall one of our favorite places!
