By partnering with local growers, our mission is to secure the best, freshest, local, organic-when-possible, ingredients to cook for our customers. Our menu will change regularly to reflect what's best in each season.We have a simple menu for a reason. Instead of purchasing dried pasta, we start with flour and eggs to make our pasta from scratch. Instead of purchasing frozen gnocchi, we peel the potatoes to make our own, fresh, light-and-fluffy, gnocchi. Our chefs create beautiful dishes with flavor that can only come from a recent harvest. When we are unable to secure a local ingredient, we will communicate that to our customers.With the umbrella heading of a farm-to-table restaurant, our chefs are free to create dishes that cross into different ethnic cuisines. However, the majority of our meals are influenced by Italian and American tastes.

    My wife and I had a really nice dinner. The food was plentiful and delicious. It was impossible to finish, so we took some back to the room in the provided containers. The service was excellent as well. My only minor complaint is that when I made the reservation, it asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. I replied “yes, it was my wife’s birthday,” but nothing was done to help us celebrate this special day.

    Had a great first experience here. Both the food and service were fantastic! Devin was our server and he was friendly, informative, and made the experience even better. All the food was fresh and flavorful. The crudo was a 10/10. Their desserts also were amazing, highly recommend the olive oil cake and rice pudding. We will be back to see Devin again! A great BYOB spot in the area.

    The food was wonderfully prepared. It looked amazing, tasted even better. The combination of spices, vegetables and cooking style’s brought out all the different flavors and textures with each bite. It was a wonderful experience. It’s pricey but worth it. We wii return.
