I had the scallops con basil for supper and the fruit crumble for dessert both amazing. If you can take a cab or something here instead of taking your car I would recommend it because the parking lot is small. Service was awesome too!

Pretentious greeting when we (2) dropped by at 5:30 on a Tuesday for a bite: "Do you have reservations? Hmm. Let me see if I can fit you in.". Heard that line to everyone who walked in and no the place was not busy! lol. Gnocci was delish and fresh but very very plain and did not at all fit the amazing description. The fettucinne my guest enjoyed was also fresh but plain. Bread was stale like a cracker. Very limited wines by the glass. Good service. Will return but hope they up the effort with the food flavours and presentation.

For the price I would have expected a little more from the service and the food. Bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar started the meal and was OK but nothing special. I had the veal piccata and it was a little on the dry side and not that tasty. The pasta with tomato basil sauce was good though. The venue was interesting and funky but not worth going back to give it another chance.
