Had a wonderful Saturday dining experience. Our server Aaron was attentive, incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu. His recommendations (as well as Jamie's) were spot on and did not disappoint. This is by far my partner and I fave Italian spot. The team lead by Chef Michael and Pastry Chef Renae executes each dish very well. Another all around memorable and impeccable visit.

Excellent food! I forgot to check if the menu's seafood bias was intentional. Octopus dish was labeled "spicy," but if it was, it was quite subtle. The portion was really generous!! The tagliatelle was hearty and did not have an overt chicken liver flavor. (It's "safe" for kids, including my daughter who loved it.) Halibut had interesting melange of vegetables with grapes and rhubarb playing some interest counterpoint. The sea bream was the best composition -- well balanced with complementing flavors of citrus, olives, and endive/fennel. Bravo. The strawberries and cream dessert was fabulous!!! Chef Connolly deserves her JB semifinalist nomination! Playful and elegantly composed take on the classic flavor combination!

We had a wonderful time eating here- the food is fantastic! I had a great negroni with the warm olives followed by burrata salad and the gnocchi with duck ragu. The gnocchi was SO good- my boyfriend had the pumpkin tortellini and it was equally delicious. The service was perfect. The dessert is AMAZING- honestly Michelin level, better than desserts I’ve eaten at Michelin starred restaurants. If you go, you have to have dessert. A wonderful restaurant, I cannot wait to return.

Good pastas, cocktails, and service. Some dishes were just OK. I would stick with the pastas. We had a lovely time and the service was excellent.

The food was amazing and the service was top notch. However, this is more like a $$$ restaurant than a $$ restaurant. However, it is well worth the price but go in expecting to spend about 70-80 dollars per person minimum.

Horrible.
We were seated between two poor quality huge mirrors, so there was no escaping looking at a fat version of yourself. Not a great way to enjoy a meal.
There was no gluten free bread, but they did have Glutino crackers.
There were extremely limited options that were both gluten free and had a protein (not vegetarian). I think there were two options. I chose sea bass with gigante beans. The bass was good, but the beans were huge and WAY undercooked. They were literally crunchy still. There were very very few vegetables in it. All in all the dish was pretty terrible.
The portions for everyone were very small also. We all left still hungry.
This restaurant is a terrible choice for anyone non-vegetarian who is gluten sensitive.

I can't recommend this place for take-out. I placed an order online, and was told the meal would be ready for pick-up in 45 minutes. I showed up after an hour, and my order was not ready. It appeared that my order had been never started, and the staff apologized and asked me to wait while they made my meal. I was not offered any discount for this inconvenience. Despite the poor take-out experience, the food itself was delicious, though portions were very small. The best part of the meal was the coffee cheesecake!
