The bistro is clean, inviting, and the staff was incredibly friendly. They always have great specials, and during the holidays, there was even a seasonal drink menu.

The pizza was delicious and service was good. For a place with pizza in the name, I expected more specialty pizza options (there were none other than the special, which we got) & a larger list of toppings, but there's something to be said for doing what you do well. The women at the next table got pasta and that also looked delicious. There was no cell phone service for us and the WiFi was locked, so I couldn't check in there on Yelp or any other app. There were TV's on the walls showing the football games. Not all in the best places for viewing at the table we chose, but we didn't really care about any of the games on at the time. The parking lot had arrows about going only one way, but no other clear signage, so most cars seemed to not pay attention to the arrows. Not a big deal when it's pretty empty, but I'd think it could be a bit dangerous if crowded. We'll surely go back to try the pasta.

Our table had two servers assigned to us, which was interesting. I'll be honest, I was skeptical of the prices and that I would leave hungry, but I was proven wrong! I was extremely full, and we went during happy hour so we got one of those deals! Split between 3 people, the bill was pretty reasonable! We each got a personalized wine flight. I got a rosé, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio - the rosé was my fav! Everything else we ordered: -Whipped Sheep's cheese w/ truffle honey + chips -Jamón & Manchego Croquetas (happy hour deal) -Patatas Bravas (happy hour deal) -Mussels + homemade sausage -Albondigas aka spiced meatballs (happy hour deal) -Bacon wrapped dates -Potato tortilla -Spiced beef empanadas -Espresso martini -Chocolate cake Overall I really enjoyed everything! Hard to pick a favorite, but I'd say my least favorite thing was the bacon-wrapped dates (I just don't eat dates very much). I was a little disappointed in the size of the empanadas, I'm used to eating bigger ones from other restaurants, but they were still very tasty! The food came out fast and was super fresh! Our main server Becca was funny, relatable, and really made this such a fun experience! She also treated us to the sangria chug (not sure if that's the official name but that's what I'm calling it lol). The dim lighting and dark decor makes a perfect ambiance for a girls night or date night!

We took advantage of the "drink samples" which was a personal experience with the owner, where we tried each and every drink they made in house.. this was free, and a great start to our dinner.

The ambiance was a little wild, very dark.. interesting taste in decor (haha) but very classy, nonetheless. Portions were generous and the price was too. We would definitely return for one of their weekday burger nights!

The menu lists foods such caesar salad, beef tartare, calamari, crab cake, chicken, pork chop, lamb, bison, and filet mignon. The drink menu lists cocktails, beers, and wines. For dinner for my husband and me, I made a reservation through OpenTable. The seating hostess and the waitress served us promptly and politely. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Chef's Cheese Board - 4.5 stars - This appetizer contained two cheeses, two cured meats, bread, and jelly. Prince Edward Island Mussels - 4.5 stars - This entree was a special. A large bowl of mussels was covered in Thai coconut red curry sauce, lime, mint, basil, and cilantro. On the side was a grilled baguette and garlic potatoes. Duck - 4 stars - The duck breast was cooked well, but my husband would have preferred a larger serving size. The waitress said that it was covered in a blueberry sauce, but it tasted like BBQ to us. After eating this entree, my husband still felt hungry. On the side were asparagus and risotto that had an OK flavor. Creme brûlée - 4.5 stars - This creme brûlée was topped with strawberries. Some liquid also sat on top, but the sugar was appropriately hard. Armen's Barrels Blackberry Sangria - 5 stars - This sangria was made from Armen's Barrels Concord wine, and it tasted delicious. The total price for our meal was $123 plus a tip. Customers may book private events at the restaurant. Customers may also book tours of the production facility to see the equipment and the process of making wines, vodkas, and brandies.

For the main items with dinner I had the Spaghetti Alfredo. Delicious. I took a bite of my husband's Spaghetti Ala Vodka and it was good, it did have a bit of a kick (heat/spicy) to it. I like that stuff. I saw some other Yelp reviews mention the meatballs. I ordered 2 on the side, they were very tasty, I loved them. I ordered 2 specialty drinks from the Italy menu. I love that they make them pretty. I forgot to take a photo of my 2nd drink. The inside is intimate, your tables are close so it can be loud from being so close in proximity. Parking is tight but I knew this from other reviews but it's worth it. Our waitress was so kind, short dark hair woman. They package your leftovers into the boxes which is such a nice touch. Can't wait to return!

The menu lists foods such as salads, crab bisque, pastas, oysters, scallops, sea bass, chicken, lamb, pork, ribeye, NY strip, filet mignon, spinach, and tiramisu. My husband and I had a reservation for dinner here. The dress code was business casual, but some other customers wore smart casual. The waitress provided friendly service. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Chopped Salad - 4.5 stars - Iceberg lettuce was topped with grape tomatoes, cucumbers, green olives, croutons, bacon, and parmigiano-reggiano cheese. Bistecca Wedge Salad - 4.5 stars - Roughly half of a head of lettuce was topped with smoked bacon, onions, bleu cheese, and gorgonzola crumble. (No tomatoes at my husband's request.) Salmon Oscar - 4.5 stars - Atlantic salmon was grilled and topped with flavorful colossal lump crab, asparagus, and hollandaise. Filet mignon - 5 stars - My husband ordered a 10-ounce filet mignon, and the chef cooked it medium-rare as requested. On the side was béarnaise sauce. My husband enjoyed this steak very much. Au Gratin Potatoes - 4.5 stars - This side dish looked like "potato lasagna." Potatoes were thinly sliced and layered so they looked like lasagna. The cheesy sauce tasted good. New York Cheese Cake - 4.5 stars - The slice of this cake was a good size. It had a nice cheesy flavor, and we liked its graham crust, strawberry sauce, and sweet whipped cream. We drank water and did not order beverages. The total cost for this meal was $171 plus a tip.

We tried to make a reservation but nothing was available. My friend insisted on putting our name on a standby list and the restaurant was extremely excited to call us with a cancellation, which they said rarely happens. I was excited to introduce my friends to this spot! Our party was not the easiest as we have a few dietary restrictions, like one GF person and one vegetarian. We wanted a few of the starters and noticed that getting the antipasto might be the most cost-efficient way. My friend asked if we might have all the meat on one plate and the veggies on another to be considerate of the vegetarian (me) and they nicely accommodated that request. The GF friend was excited to order a Dubai chocolate martini as she thought she would be getting these flavors without the dough she can't have, but it came around the rim and sprinkled in the drink and she had to send it back, which they also quickly accommodated. They also had several mocktails on the menu, really nice options made with NA spirits. I ordered one of these. I usually get the gnocchi here but on this visit they had a pasta special with corn that was like a taste of just-ended summer and I went with that. It was delicious and my friends enjoyed their meals as well. There is a dessert bar next door but service on this night was taking an extremely long time so we didn't get into any desserts. Service on this particular visit was not quite what I've been used to on previous visits overall, and one of my friends mentioned it afterward to the GM who was very accountable and responsive. He had also stopped by to personally check on us during our meal, and it's nice to get a sense that a place genuinely cares about your customer experience. I will continue to come back.
