    We had a great dining experience. Our major issue was parking -- ended up parking in a paid parking deck almost a mile away. When we first arrived, my wife went in to ask the restaurant for parking guidance while I waited in the car. The person she talked to said we could park on the street, which we knew was incorrect before 6:30pm. The restaurant needs to provide better parking guidance and/or offer valet service

    Indoor and outdoor seating was superb. Food was way above expectations in terms of quality. Everything from the appetizers to the dessert to the wine was flavorful and hit the right spot. Would recommend to anyone looking for really good Italian food or just great food in general.
