    This place is a Italian gem in hiding. We had the blind date option on the menu. There chef choose our appetizer, three entrees and two deserts with a bottle of wine. Everything was cooked perfectly. The chef came to introduce herself and to check in with us. The meal including tip was $200 for two and worth it.

    This was our second time here and it was excellent. We had the blind date both times. So each course is a surprise and it does not disappoint! Food is authentic, the wine is great and the atmosphere is cozy.

    The wait staff is very attentive and well versed on the restaurant menu. Atmosphere was quaint and welcoming. The food was the best Italian that I have had since my grandmothers. Chef came out to make sure we were enjoying our food and introduced themself. Menu changes with the seasons. Will definitely be back.
