They also had a fantastic selection of wine and cocktails. This was the first restaurant where I was served orange-style wine, which was a unique experience. The service was outstanding, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about wine. We can't wait to go back again.

The Bolognese was outstanding as well. It does get a little loud, but it is a fun restaurant.

The spoon full of sauce really was way too much? Unless someone else is paying the bill 10/10 would not recommend.Took the left over and gave them to the homeless guy sitting outside. Left overs in the picture.

The duck ragu and gemelli were out of this world resembling almost a short rib in flavor. There are not enough stars for that dish, the calamari and the house bread.Great wine selection and music. We loved our server. Very sweet. I was born and raised in Roanoke but moved away for 30 years. Iam used to Denver, Charlotte and St. Pete. This restaurant is top notch and definitely a keeper for me and my family. We willbe back!
