Delicious Italian food tucked away underneath a tall building. Location was strange upon arrival, but then a nice ambiance once you get downstairs. Dominic and Brett provided great service. The bolognese was great!

We had a reservation for 4 on Monday, 10/14/24 at 6:30 pm. Service was excellent! Valet parking. Dimly lit, almost speakeasy-vibes because it’s off the beaten path, downstairs of an apartment building. I split a salad with one other person, we all shared 2 sides, and...Read More

Unassuming perfection! Located at the Garden Level of a residential building, our first thought as first timers was, “Are we in the right place?” Turns out- Darn right! Everything was incredible! Brett, Dominique, and Zire were attentive but unobtrusive. Water glasses stayed full. Culinary highlights:...Read More
