We went for our 7th anniversary, Connor was our waiter. The service was amazing, Connor was knowledgeable, and the food even far better than we had hoped. They even surprised us with a piece of dessert for our evening out.

One of the best Italien meals we've ever had anywhere. And the fact that they import some of their base ingredients (flour, etc.) from Italy allowed by Gluten sensitive spouse to partake of the pastas much to her delight! The Northern and modern Italien oriented menu was also very much appreciated. Truly a high end culinary experience, as we can state from years and years of being foodies. We also came late on a sunday due to delays from a long day of travel and they served us without any sense of rush, which we really appreciated. Can't wait to go back next time we're in town.
