The house salad with a tasty vinaigrette was delicious, and I must say, it was a good, filling portion of salad.

I would have loved to try more menu items like the bruschetta, garlic rolls and another pasta dish, maybe next time!

Absolutely out of this world ! every dish was cooked to perfection, with rich, unforgettable flavors that showcased true Italian craftsmanship. You could taste the authenticity and care in every bite. The drinks and wine selection were equally impressive. Every cocktail was well-balanced, and the wine paired beautifully with the meal -- smooth, bold, and perfectly matched to the food. That's what everyone at the table was saying because I was the designated driver sooo didn't get much of a taste there but I believe what they were saying . Then came the desserts, which truly sealed the night. each dessert was indulgent and masterfully prepared . The perfect sweet ending to an already flawless evening. The staff was attentive, warm, and made sure our large group was well taken care of from start to finish. This has officially become my new number one Italian restaurant, and I'll be recommending it to anyone looking for top-tier Italian cuisine with exceptional service and ambiance. The menu is not updated when you search it up but when you get there, there's a lot more options. Trust me I promise you will have a flawless night from start to finish!

For dessert, the limoncello cheesecake is incredible: creamy, refreshing, and the perfect ending to the meal. We dine here regularly and what always elevates the experience is our waitress, Dayana. She is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Her recommendations are always spot-on, and she always makes us feel taken care of without ever rushing us. Service like hers is what makes us want to come back all the time.

Ordered food on their website and I went to go pick it up. When I arrived to pick it up, the…read morerestaurant was closed for the week. I don't know why the website allowed me to order and the proceeded to charge me if they were closed. I waited a few days for a refund but didn't get it. I had to dispute with my credit card and heard back from restaurant stating that I received my food and they would not be refunding my money. Long story short, I had taken a picture of the closed paper sign they had and that is the only reason my credit card gave me back to money. Previously I have gone here before and it's always empty. The food is good but expensive. But I will not be going back after that last experience. There must be a reason why they are always empty.

Visited with a dinning buddy on December 30th last year. I can't recall if the restaurant is part…read moreof some dining program or if it was because he had a Groupon, or something of the sort. It's a South American version of Italian cuisine. Let's start with how the place looks: on looks alone, it'd be the type of place that had it not been because my friend wanted to go there, I would have walked out immediately upon getting the first glimpse inside. While there's nothing terrible about how the place looks, it screams: we are not a total success and esthetics is not top of mind for us; with odd pieces of equipment, furniture and decor. It looked like a bit of a 90's 'time warp'. The place was small, and it was packed on a Tuesday night - I guess that means something. We had to wait for a table where some poor guy with a backpack was sitting awaiting his carry out pizza. After a few minutes he was 'oddly' relocated to a beat-up pleather armchair-stool (where top layer had peeled off) at the 'bar' (literally a view of the pizza oven) - the 'seat' came from somewhere in the back of the restaurant to make due for the poor guy (it was freezing outside that night) - needless to say, it was an odd scene (seemed like he was being evicted to the bar); and that set the tone for what about to go down for us that night. The table he was in before he was evicted from in order to give it to us (without them changing any of the tableware [glasses, silverware, napkins] that was already laid out on top of it) was what I like to call, a 'divorcee' table. It was a foot away from entrance door, and it was about 2 feet wide and 4 feet long, and it was butted long-side against the glass storefront, so we almost had to shout at each other from 4' away. The server seemed like a friend of the owner or family member, and behaved a bit odd. He advised about a special where we'd get a free bottle of red wine if we ordered two entrees, which was our case; however, given neither of us drinks, much less red wine, I asked if they had white instead, to which he swiftly replied 'no' as in: it is what it is. He asked if we wanted to take the bottle home and we declined since we wouldn't use it. Instead, we asked if we could swap it for free garlic rolls (3 pieces for $2.95), and just as swiftly he shut that down , so we forwent our more costly wine and paid for the garlic rolls - they were average (rate 3 out of 5). There was a dish that I believe was Alfredo with ham - now, that's a first for me in an Italian restaurant. I told my friend, I've never seen ham as a protein for an Alfredo unless they meant pancetta, but no, they meant cubed deli ham. So I opted to change the dish at a premium. Since I'm a fan of a good Alfredo, against my best judgement, I asked for the 'Alfredo' with chicken instead ($24 with chicken here). It was VERY HEAVY as if they had made it largely with oil and heavy cream. Thankfully, the Parmesan cheese and charred chicken helped make it acceptable. However, something was amiss with that dish as it sent me straight to the bathroom upon arriving home - and that extended until the next day, and maybe day after that. It could have been the included small side salad - who knows. My friend ordered the Ravioli Di Portobello at $29 - not an adequate price for this place. My Alfredo should have been more like $20 based on quality and locale state. For dessert, we tried the limoncello cake ($9.95; 4 out of 5) - the waiter read the dessert from memory and recommended that one. It wasn't bad except for the fact that it was drizzled in bitter dark chocolate topping. Not something I'd personally expect on a limoncello cake. When we brought that up to waiter as something he should have warned us about, he's attitude was like: that's how we do it, which it's fine, 'as long as you warn the customer' - it's like asking for tiramisu and finding out that restaurant makes it with nuts - if it's not the norm, and customer is not looking at the menu, common sense should kick in and customer should be warned. Anywho, suffice it to say, this is not a place I'd ever return to. Bouna fortuna for the thrill seekers.
