First time here and the food was delicious! Wished there was an actual fettuccine Alfredo dish though, but meatballs and lasagna was delicious! Drinks from the bar were very nicely poured so thank you.

Lazia made a big night unforgettable. We were meeting my daughter's boyfriend's parents for the first time, and when our original reservation fell through, Jake worked all week to find us a table on a busy Friday. May at the host stand had us drooling with her recommendations, and Ruben's polish matched the room's attention to detail. Our table sat beneath the chandelier, which put a halo in every photo. Alex let the kitchen impress us and presented each course with real flair. From the stuffed focaccia and Wagyu carpaccio through three pastas to the milk-braised pork shoulder, every dish was Michelin-caliber. Book now while you still can. My only regret: no one would join me for dessert. I'll be back.

My experience was STELLAR! I had a late RSVP and had to adjust my reservation and they took care of it seamlessly. The customer care was 10/10 throughout the evening!!! The food was delicious and we dined on a Thursday and enjoyed live music (a lovely background experience). I will be back soon.

    It is my partners birthday and our server Mike took very good care of us. When we told him we liked amaro he offered us an amaro flight. Everything was so delicious and our gluten free needs were very catered too. Overall a special night for such an occasion. Thank you!
