Polished modern Italian with handmade pasta and a showy open kitchen; excellent desserts and attentive service, but portions run small and pricing plus add-on practices can sting.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels modern and welcoming, a bright space where you can see chefs at work behind glass. Reviewers mention servers who are warm and professional and a dessert cart of sorts anchored by a tiramisu people gush about. One diner summed it up: "Fresh pasta, great wine guidance, and a view into the kitchen made the night." The cooking leans contemporary and regional Italian rather than basic classics, with handmade pastas like casoncelli and pizzoccheri, precise seafood, and a well-priced tasting menu for the style. Sauces are focused and portions refined, which many love for balance though some wish for more heft. Expect quality ingredients and polished plating over comfort-sized servings. Families can do well here if kids like familiar Italian flavors. There is no kids menu noted, but simple pastas, milanese, and affogato or tiramisu are easy wins. If you need generous portions or very plain food, consider sharing extra pasta or a side to round things out.
