"The good: nice ambiance with a hipster vibe of a big city with guys in flannel shirts serving up the meals at a very reasonable price point. The Okay: food is a new/hybrid take on Italian with interesting twist. Don’t expect traditional here as it will not be, at least from my experience. I'd you are seeking a different style and vibe on traditional then this is your spot. My take: it’s a one and done for me as It’s not my style of modern but overall, it was a decent experience. Unfortunately, I prefer the taste of food over atmosphere. However, 5 stars for service, drinks and dessert."

"This is a fantastic Italian restaurant. The appetizers are mouth-watering, the pasta dishes are divine, and the pizza is superb. Don't miss the tiramisu, it's heavenly. The staff is warm and helpful. I can't wait to go back. Best place ever!"

"Only our second visit, but I proposed to my wife so we could renew our vows for our 25 year anniversary coming up in 24'. That's how special this place is to us now. Like everything, and love the people!!!!! BTW the best Waitress is Mary (goes normally by first name, Shhh, it's hidden because she's a gem) I can't remember my favorite male server but he's a charmer and wine expert, love this man too."

"First time coming here, and really enjoyed it! The whole family loved it as well. The restaurant was extremely clean and the staff were all very nice and friendly. We started out with a cheese plate with this wonderful shallot jam that really complemented the different cheese’s. It was so good I had to look up how to make my own haha. The Roast brussels sprouts with cheese the kids devoured! The clams were beautifully plated and the sauce was great with the charred house bread. All the entrées were just as good as the next. The Pork Milanese was breaded, and fried to perfection. The Duck Ragu was heaven with the porcini and cremini mushroom sauce. My mother got the whole roasted Branzino which was very moist, flaky, and seasoned great. We also shared two pizzas, the margarita pizza, and anchovy pizza. Both equally good! Love the capers on the anchovy pizza! Would highly recommend this place!"

"This place is amazing. Everything from the food to the service to the ambiance is fantastic. It's also very affordable for such elevated cuisine and a pleasant atmosphere. I can definitely recommend the Fritto Misto and the pizza. Freaking yum. The pizza is Neapolitan but extremely great. The crust is lip-smackingly delicious. This is also the best calamari I've had in a long time. It's just perfect. Our visit couldn't have been better and we will definitely be back. I was wondering where I would park, but street parking is open with no time limit after 5pm. See you there!"
