    Honey, I’m home! What’s for dinner baby? Oh, it’s your favorite authentic Italian food, that you love SOOOO much! I’m sorry that I haven’t made it for you for months. You know, this kitchen remodel took longer than we expected. But look how beautiful it is. It is baby, and I’m glad you love it so much. I’m really looking forward to our first meal in our new kitchen…and your Italian food is the best! I’m so excited. Well, you’re going to be even more excited. I invited some of your best friends over in order to make this meal feel like a family homemade meal. Honey, you’re the best! This is going to me amazing! ————————————————————————————- Oliver’s Team, It was so wonderful to be part of the reopening. ….and it was like being with family💯❤️ Congratulations on overcoming the challenges! We missed you! P.S. Honey, what an amazing meal. Thank you for having everyone over to see our new kitchen and have such a wonderful time! Thank you from the bottom of my heart…and stomach. I love you so much!!!

    Ambiance was great. The caprese al pesto was delicious and the drinks were made to order.

    5pm reservation, good wait staff, great food. Menu could be more straightforward but I’d go back.

    Avoid at all costs. We went there on 2/13/26 and were planing to have a great dinner but instead waited 25 mins to get our drink order, another 25 to get asked about what to eat, the bread and the burrata was hard and tasteless and our dinner took 1.5 hrs to come out. Our waiter was rude and didn’t ask if we wanted another drink and just dropped our food on our table and walked away. How can it take 1.5 hrs to get Cacio e Pepe and Lasagne is beyond me. Other tables around us were not being served, food was cold and took forever to come out. The owner comped other peoples food because the service and experience was terrible. Honestly it is beyond me why they advertise they are Bib Gourmand
