Sean Maccarone-ReedAugust 18, 2014Portions are the perfect size. Gnocchi and steak are both superb. The beignets for desert are pillow like fluffy paradise in your mouth.
Brooke KruegerMarch 25, 2015Went for dinner on my birthday. Service was excellent and they brought an adorable treat out! The menu is great for sharing and the portions are perfect so you don't over stuff yourself.
Mari LoiApril 17, 2015Great food! Don't miss the lobster caprese the truffle garlic bread and the fillet mignon. To not miss the hazelnut ice cream!! Unbelievable! The service was very friendly and with smiling faces.
Jon B.January 5, 2020A pricy yet tasty Italian restaurant. All of the bread appetizers are excellent. The spicy king crab pasta is a must.
Andriana AlbamonteApril 22, 2013Order family style and share! Don't miss the lobster caprese, zucchini fritti, king crab pasta and eggplant parm and dessert! The rice pudding gelato is amazing. Our waiter was great too!
MakedaMarch 19, 2013Small plates. Between two girls, we had 6 items and spent $32 each with tip. Start w/ meatballs, Brussels sprouts, pizzette then get cavatelli with beef and pork ragu, the lobster risotto and tortufo
Meghan PreussSeptember 26, 2018Food quality and service has been great since Day 1. Perfect spot to bring out of town visitors or for a date night. Make reservations at least a few weeks in advance.
Olimpia GonzalezApril 25, 2020Food and service were excellent! The cremini mushroom pizette and the black truffle beef tartare were to DIE for!
So Lux Med SpaJuly 31, 2013Its high-end Italian, its delish, its owned by Bill and Giuliana Rancic, it's a Lettuce Entertain You, its drink menu is curated by mixologist/genius Paul McGee. What else do you need to know! Go!!!

Jason WagnerAugust 14, 2013Amazing atmosphere. Great staff. And decent food. The appetizer and pasta selection are excellent. Main course is average. But it feels so alive with energy and staff is so helpful
Ed HorsfordDecember 21, 2014Somewhat over-hyped. Had the lobster caprese, octopus, and crab with squid ink spaghetti. All good, but lacking that special something. Sat at the bar and had an excellent and attentive waiter.
Kim M.November 24, 2015Zucchini is super light and airy. It's super fluffy and has the perfect crisp.
Angie OsmanskiDecember 8, 2015Delicious food! Great service! Really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Portion sizes are small according to American standards, but still very good!
Chris ShackletonNovember 9, 2012Great service, decor, and food. My favorite dish on the menu is the Chicken Liver Crostini, but everything I've tried is really great. Get the risotto with shaved white alba truffles!- SaraMay 26, 2013Must try spinach lobster ravioli & eggplant parmesan-Filling! Apps-garlic bread. Didnt care for provolone peppers or artichokes. Dessert-TARTUFO-Amazeballs! Big Ferrero rocher w choco icecream inside.
C BaileyOctober 14, 2014Loved the atmosphere. Faroe Island Salmon and truffle garlic bread were yummy. I need to come back here next time I'm in town. Loved it so much.
LianyNovember 13, 2018Elegant restaurant. Make sure you make reservations or else you’re doomed. Seafood and spaghetti plates were delish.

OhoudJuly 15, 2016They have a very good food and tasty specially the mini mushroom pizza and artichoke appetizer the burrata is amazing as well
Matt 👀April 8, 2013Lobster caprese salad was great. Swordfish was phenomenal. Great scene. Played early 2000s house music the entire time.
- MakedaMarch 19, 2013The smoked ricotta cavatelli with pork and beef ragu is so hearty and well flavored you'll lick the bowl. Must get.
Albert PakOctober 18, 2014Everything on their menu is a must to try! Grilled octopus and swordfish are amazing!
Jessica WeirMay 17, 2014If you have a group of 9 or more you can do family style which is a great way to try a lot of different dishes. We left stuffed!
Mark JeswaldDecember 4, 2014Had the roasted beets, the small pepperoni pizzette, and the bucatini. All excellent, great ambiance and service. Can't go wrong here.
Stephanie BarkerOctober 30, 2012The portions are smaller than expected but everything was delicious! I highly recommend ordering an entree for each person and sharing family style. Don't pass on dessert!
Lauren SeghiJuly 4, 2013Order tapas style so your party can try many of the entrees. Everything I've had from here, especially the short rib pappardelle, was excellent!
براندا January 15, 2014For the ladies, drink the Moscato D'Asti! Smooth and sweet! Beats any champagne! And they serve it here!!!- MakedaMarch 19, 2013Brussels sprouts are very tasty and very well prepared. Good veggie option for all the cheesy, carb-y menu.
Mama De pandis pasta, burrata, lobster caprese, meatball, hazelnut tartufo
ElenaNovember 26, 2016Great food and service. Good choice for date night. Definitely go with pastas.
Dema AlissaJune 7, 2019Very elegant place with very friendly staff. I tried the meatballs, filet mignon, gnudi, and bomboloni 😋 😋 😋
Rob PickettSeptember 21, 2013Banana nutella gelato was to die for! Prior to that, the wine was good, nice selection. Veal was awesome as was the lobster pasta special.
Ashley RudolphJanuary 15, 2015The short rib is delicious. Garlic bread is also a must have. Love the ambiance here and the service is great too!- MakedaMarch 19, 2013If they have the Pizzette with heirloom spinach, fontina cheese, 600 day prosciutto, GET it! Very small portion so get two for the table.
Joni BradleyJuly 23, 2012Must order the klug peaches with pistachio cake and gelato! But skip the coffee-I ordered decaf and it must have been old because it was undrinkable.
- MakedaMarch 19, 2013The meatballs are a big draw at this trendy spot. The marinara sauce is light but flavorful. Ditch the truffle garlic bread, tastes nothing like truffles.
Eric WilkersonOctober 27, 2013Ask for their sommelier to help with the wine selection. The Pumpkin Agnolotti will rock your world. 👍
Nutella Bomboloni!! Best dessert ever! It's a special but I hope they make it permanent on there menu.
Leslie TurleyAugust 20, 2014Get the Octopus to start, pasta and the bombolini dessert if they have it!!
Sarah SG.June 8, 2017All food is amazing! Service is wonderful. Gnocchi, ravioli, and salmon are recommended.
Elissa GallagherMarch 9, 2014Food was amazing! Not huge portions, but OMG so, so good. My husband said it was one of.the.best eggplant parm he ever had!
larokMarch 9, 2014Try the provolone stuffed peppers, fried olives, and truffled garlic bread.. Canolis are delicious and short rib pasta
Kate CorleyJuly 22, 2013HANDS DOWN THE BEST gluten free pasta I have ever had! Made it feel like the real thing! Every person in our party loved their meal!
