We went for my husband’s birthday and received exceptional service. Our server, Mickey, was lovely and made both excellent food & wine recommendations. All were spot on. They sent over a lovely surprise dessert with a birthday candle. Nice touch. It was a nice way to share an enjoyable birthday evening. Thank you…

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the valley. The staff is always so pleasant and welcoming and the food is always the best. Monday and Tuesday night PrixFixe menu is a great deal too. Don't miss the Tuna Tartare or the Spaghetti de Mare but the rest of the items are great too. I think I've enjoyed almost every item on the menu and never disappointed. There's nice comfortable seating and great service at the tables when we are dining with others. When just two of us, we enjoy sitting at the bar. Service is always great and it has an active enough ambiance to enjoy yet a quiet enough that you can have a conversation over dinner. This place checks all the boxes. You'll find me here at least every other week. Cheers!

The food was spectacular! The service was amazing. The restaurant was quaint and cozy. Very lovely all around! The lobster tortelli was our absolute favorite, everything was great- the meatballs- delicious and the sauce they were in was like my grandmothers, the burrata - silky, the tortelli - for get about it and the filetto da’Barbara - like butter. We will go back! Excellent!

The food was so delicious and generous. My Caesar salad was perfect…the branzino with pesto tagliatelle was yummy. My husband had an enormous dish with clams and a perfect lobster tail and pasta and he said it was just fabulous. This was our first time here and we will absolutely be back. A gem.
