"The food was mediocre at best. Not worth our drive from Augusta. The service was amazing even though our waitress was intoxicated. The atmosphere was different but the chairs were so uncomfortable inside. Probably will not go back. I was excited for the pasta in the parm wheel made at your table, but they have changed their menu and do not do it anymore. When the pasta came out it was so peppery I couldn’t finish it. The charcuterie board was good but needed more crackers or bread for all the meat provided. And we had to pay $5 for valet parking and we parked ourselves. Very weird."

"Came here with a large party and ordered almost everything on the menu. Most of the entrees were average…some even unique…but also average. My favorite dish was just asking for spaghetti and meatballs for the kids. The rest of the dishes were just not that great. The cheese and meat boards were devoured and the cheese selection was great for cheese lovers. The deserts were also not loved. Even though they were very creative they didn’t hit that Italian expection. By far the best part was our waiter Matt. One of the best waiters we have had in years…maybe the best for a party our size. The manager was getting impatient with us as our group attempted a large picture but he pulled through a smile."

"Came here sort of last minute for dinner, and we're still able to get a reservation. We got immediately greeted & seated. We started with the meat & cheese board, which comprised for us buffala & burrata cheese, along with prosciutto & salami for meats. It was great. For entrees, we enjoyed the Agnolotti(short rib) & the Duck Lasagna. Both dishes were delicious to the last bite! Service was fantastic & prompt. As the place is small, parking is by valet, and only around $5. I'll definitely come back again."

"Had a late dinner with a friend. Italian food is not ever a choice of mine but I enjoyed our meal here. Service was great, the food was a little experiential, and the atmosphere was nice. We shared the mini board and got a side of the house made mozz, two drinks each, each of us got a pasta entree, and we shared a dessert. Split down the middle it was a little less than $100/per person. Not sure if gratuity was included or not in that. I liked the charcuterie but the meat and cheese to bread/cracker ratio was way off. Even without the house mozzarella as a side, there wasn’t enough carb to offset the fat-rich components of prosciutto, mortadella, olives, and mozzarella. It was also served with marinated artichokes and honeycomb. The drinks were very flavorful but not buzz-inducing at all. If trying to decide between the duck lasagna and the agnolotti, pick the latter. It is a lot more flavorful and complex compared to the duck lasagna. For dessert we had the sticky toffee date cake. Great experience. I’d recommend it to my cheese and pasta loving friends, but I am okay with having a one time experience. I personally prefer the Porchetta Group’s Grana restaurant."

"Wanted to go somewhere local for last minute dinner plans with the family. We were able to make reservations same day. Valet parking is available right in front of the restaurant. Host was very friendly and helpful. They provided a high chair for us as requested on our opentable reservation. Waitress Margo was pleasant and helped us choose our meal. We didn’t have any of the mozzarella and salami this time. For appetizer we got the halibut tart and tiger prawns. We enjoyed the sweet and savory flavors of the halibut. It’s a cold appetizer and reminds me of chicken salad. The tiger prawns looked amazing with all the garnishes, but we weren’t able to eat it. The prawns tasted VERY fishy. We eat prawns often and haven’t had this experience with them. The manager was great and allowed us to try the meatballs in place of the prawns. They were SO GOOD and seasoned very well. For dinner I ordered the agnolotti - a short rib pasta dish. It was pretty good but came out room temperature. Husband ordered the gnocchi - I wasn’t a fan of it because the pasta wasn’t firm - it was a bit soggy for my liking. His pasta was also room temp, but he said he really enjoyed it. Overall we were satisfied and left full. It’s not my favorite Italian option but it’s a good local option."
