Picked this spot last minute and as I walked up, I questioned my choice…BUT…it was absolutely delicious. The gnocchi and lasagna were our favorites! Service was also great!

Great food and vibes. Dark and moody. Good cocktails. We were sat 30 minutes late so our drinks were comped. Tiramisu was too much pudding. Truffle Alfredo was amazing. Never tried an oat milk espresso martini until here, and it was a nice change with more nuttiness than a milk based one. Gnocchi was a great texture - not usually my favorite dish but this one was phenomenal. Not mushy.
