As requested, we were seated on the bar side of the restaurant so we could hear the live Jazz music. Our server also acknowledged my wife's birthday after we were seated. She did a fantastic job taking care of us. We started off with cocktails. I had the Russell's Reserve Black Manhattan and my wife had the Ketel One Dirty Martini. For our entrees, I had the Scampi Fra Diavolo and my wife had the Risotto Crostaceo. Both were excellent. For dessert, my wife was served a complimentary slice of Red Velvet Cake with a lighted candle. It was a perfect way to end the evening. This has been our special occasion restaurant for 20 plus years. I'm so glad we found this place all those years ago.

It's not very intimate. The menu is small/limited. The food was good. An interesting take on Italian but not quite our style. We ordered the polpette cacio e uova. It was good but very rich. We also ordered the gnocchi and chicken piccata. Both were good but very light on the seasonings and sauces. The gnocchi was not cooked consistently (some were more dense and the sear was not even). Overall, it was good and I'm glad we checked it off of our list but will not be our "go to" for Italian.

Our waitress was lovely, very on the ball, prompt and friendly. You can tell the place fills up but with many different room-ets the body of people is broken up and maintains a more intimate feeling. We ordered the cornucopia from the Autumn menu which was fresh, well prepared and nicely seasoned. The majority of veggies were hot and the beets were chilled which was a nice contrast and the pistachio pesto underneath was a nice touch. Acorn squash was fab. Side salad was huge especially for $3.50 pricetag. Meatballs were nicely seasoned and tender. They had a little red pepper kick to finish. The cider chop was amazing! Thick pork chop, brined for 24 hours to make it tender and juicy. Paired classically with white beans, and a modern twist with fried onions and sautéed apples. This dish is a must. The disappointment of the evening was the chicken parm. It was soggy and the chicken was tough. It's a staple item that should be done well to bring people back, however, with such wonderful, non traditional items on the menu, venture to eat those instead!

Unfortunately, after everything we went through simply trying to get our lost order remade, I can no longer justify giving them my business. It's disappointing to lose a restaurant we genuinely enjoyed because of the way this situation was handled. Good food can only go so far when the customer service is this poor. I will not be returning.

Started with an old-fashioned and an unsweet tea. Drink was good overall. We shared a Caesar salad to start. Half of the lettuce pieces were brown. Lettuce was yellowed more than green. Meh. I ordered the rigatoni with spicy marinara, meatball and sausage. The portion was insanely large - two sausages and two meatball, plus a platter of pasta. This was good - but again too much. Meatballs were good, sausage was good. For dessert I ordered the chocolate mousse which was okay. Located in an old bank building the place was nice with live music - though the guy walking around playing the sax was a little much.

It was everything you would expect a nice dining experience. The menu was extensive with lots of modern takes on Italian favorites. There is a good wine list with sufficient number of options for any wine taste and also a specialty cocktail list. We started out with fried calamari and a specialty caprese salad with heirloom tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and a variety of meats and olives. They were all delicious and fresh. For dinner I had the Fagottini Sinatra which was to die for. The combination of the pasta, cheeses, apple bites, and cream sauce enhanced all the flavors and produced a combination which I would HIGHLY recommend. Note that the prices are $30-$50 a meal but you get what you would expect from a nice restaurant. I will definitely be back on a future visit to Lexington.

So first -- major credit where it's due: the service was fantastic. It was busy, it was chaotic, it was love-in-the-air level packed... and our server was still kind, attentive, and genuinely great. It was a little slow, but honestly? On Valentine's Day? Totally understandable. Now, let's talk food. The meatball appetizer? Outstanding. If the whole meal had that same energy, this would be a different review. Those meatballs came in like the confident main character. I ordered the Chicago beef (hot instead of sweet), expecting bold, juicy, maybe-a-little-spicy goodness. Instead... it tasted like someone whispered "beef" from another room. I kept waiting for the flavor to arrive. It never did. I'm not saying it was bland, but salt might have been an optional add-on. My husband ordered the Manzo Parmesan pasta. He eats medium rare. This steak was blue. Not "a little under." Not "oops." It was grazing-in-a-field-five-minutes-ago rare. If it mooed, I wouldn't have been shocked. BUT -- we need to talk about the music. The playlist was elite. Every song that came on was something off my Apple playlist. At one point I genuinely wondered if they'd somehow tapped into my phone. 10/10 vibes. I was half expecting my "On Repeat" playlist to start playing next. All that said, the staff truly did their best on one of the busiest nights of the year, and we appreciated that. The bones of a really good experience are there especially if the kitchen can bring the same magic to the entrées that they brought to those meatballs. Would we try it again? Maybe but next time I'm ordering whatever the meatballs are having... and asking for the playlist.

She spent most of her time standing around with other waitresses talking. We were seated as far from the kitchen as you could be and she was so loud yelling that we could hear every word. There was a small child sitting at a table alone that the wait staff kept checking on. Not sure if this was an employee's child that they brought to work with them. As we were about to eat, the hostess seated a man and his dog across from us. It was not a service dog. As the waitresses surrounded the puppy the owner explained it was 8 weeks old and he just got it yesterday. He sat the dog in the chair, on the table, and walked it across the restaurant, in which the wait staff pet it then went back to waiting tables. Our waitress then sat at the table with the child (close to the hostess podium) and other waitresses and yelled across the restaurant to the kitchen to order herself an Italian salad. The food was awful. We ordered the chicken parm and mezalluna. The chicken was beaten paper thin and the pasta was room temp and flavorless. We added the spices they bring for the bread to the dishes in an attempt to add some flavor. $50 for water, two entrees, and a very disappointing lunch service. Based on our dining experience, we do not recommend this restaurant and will not return.

Definitely recommend a reservation. There are lots of people waiting.
