Our first time and we're beyond happy we decided to go here! We will definitely be back! Amazing service, delicious food and great spot with kids! Freshest pasta I've had in a while! Our server was amazing!

This is an excellent Italian restaurant. The service was prompt and courteous. They want you to have a memorable dining experience. The outdoor patio is perfect in the cooler month. There are large amd small tables for any party size. The food was delicious and they have an excellent t selection of wine and a full bar. I highly recommend this place.

This is a nice place to take a date. I stopped by on a whim after another restaurant didn't work out due to tough parking situation. The parking was somewhat tough here as well but better overall. I arrived shortly after lunch, around 1pm mark on Friday (5/2/2025). They have many seating options available, tall chairs, booths, tables, half booth-half tables, varied layout. There is also a very large covered-ish outdoor seating area. The décor is sophisticated modern with a dimly lit atmosphere, very cozy and comfortable feeling. This is the type of place where you'd want to reserve a table for the evening if you plan on going out to eat during a popular hour. They have an excellent wine collection, I'd say moderate to some high end options available. I didn't have any alcohol, just the Ravioli ($22) and a Coca-Cola ($3.75). The ravioli was perfect, I'm not sure on the sauce but it was delicious, the cheese was also perfect - tasted great. Great portion size, great price for the quality of food presented and consumed. I'm usually the least dressed down patron wherever I go, most people here were dressed a minimum of business casual to casual fine dining level. It was laid back but higher class. On an evening in this place, some might use the words, magical, special, romantic, to describe what they're feeling. That's what I imagine anyways. Good vibes all around, would recommend.

Whatever Sophia and her staff are doing in that kitchen, needs to be studied! The best homemade pasta, fresh flavors, and excellent service. Fantastic local restaurant. I was blown away by the amazing service and flavors in each dish. Highly recommend the Bruschetta board during happy hour, it is $13 for 3 different ones. I also recommend their Rigatoni alla Vodka - homemade pasta, chicken, and tomato! Great selection of wines as well.

we had a fantastic experience celebrating my wife's birthday. The food was delicious and our server, Christina was fantastic. I had the short rib and highly recommend it. My wife had the linguine with clam sauce and enjoyed it as well.

This place was a great find. Took coworkers here for a wok dinner and everyone loved their meals. Pasta is made fresh daily and the short ribs were so tender. Will definitely be back.

1-4-2025 This is probably my fifth time that we have gone since I wrote the original review. All I can say is that we have never once had bad service, or bad food. It’s always been fabulous. They were super busy last night, but they still managed to get us a comfortable table, we really appreciated it. Every time we go I always sound. I’m gonna try something else, but I always choose the only thing that I have eaten there because it’s so good, the lazy lasagna. I WOULD RECOMMEND ————————————-update Sophia’s Kyle and Tony are amazing. They took such good care of us, we are excited to hear about all the amazing dishes that are prepared by two Italians my husband had the Arrabiata and I had the Bolognese, YUM! This place was very simply decorated but tasteful and I could not believe how big the out side patio(s) are. They even have high top share tables. We were also told, that they have misters. We are so excited. We can’t wait to go back and have a spritz while sitting outdoors. It definitely is a team effort and what a great team. I WOULD RECOMMEND
