The restaurant offered a pop-up menu that allowed us to select any three items—one from each section—for a fixed price of $35. I chose the beet salad, a 14 oz pork chop, and a chocolate flan with candied orange, all of which were excellent. The pork chop was especially flavorful, moist, and tender. They also have an extensive wine list. The servers were very attentive, ensuring our water glasses and bread basket were always full. The bread was so delicious that my nephew nearly finished an entire basket by himself. The picture of the pork chop shows the bone, which was all that remained!

It definitely feels like a higher-class restaurant. If I lived nearby, I would come here often. The food was absolutely incredible, and I would love to try every item on the menu. There's a wide variety of options to satisfy all appetites. Great job overall—please open more locations! Absolutely fantastic!

Easily one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to, this place rivals anywhere in NYC/Long Island. I will definitely make the trip back here for their pasta whenever I'm in the area!

Great service! Charming ambiance! We stumbled upon this last summer on our way to Maine and stopped by again today. Loved the food and the service was attentive. I love the interior space and the whole vibe. The menu is great and the pasta is made fresh. I would give it a 10 out of 10. High end Italian.
