I place fault directly with the cuties on staff for ruining my palette for anywhere else. Cocktails, plates, dessert, so on point - JUST GO ALREADY.

Great little neighborhood spot with excellent food & service. Chef owned & operated, can't go wrong with anything your order. We had the stracciatella (a must!), the ray & the duck & all were excellent. Went on tuesday night & we were lucky to be served by the chef owners who described each dish with such passion! highly recommended spot!

En arrivant nous étions surpris à quel point il y avait peu d'espace pour s'asseoir au point que c'était impossible de se lever sans accrocher le monde au bar & à la table d'à côté. La serveuse nous donnait des excellentes recommandations pour certains plats comme le plat de stracciatella (voir photo) & le gateau bananes par comme d'autres plats qu'on choisissait étaient moins bons comme le tartare de boeuf qui ressemblait à du steak haché & la salade. Les olives étaient quasi voir totallement pourries aussi dans notre martini.
