The best thing about the place is the place itself! It's brick with beautiful flowers and vines outside. Inside, part of the restaurant was added on and is designed to feel like you are in an outdoor Italian courtyard with several fireplaces and glass ceiling. It's charming, romantic, and busy.

I was pleased by the romantic ambience; we sat out on the patio. The whole restaurant was full of happy eaters. It's northern Italian cuisine. For starters we had a very lightly battered array of seafood with wasabi mayo. Primo: I had lovely super-fresh halibut with fresh blackberries and green peppercorn glaze, sided with three-cheese fusilli. My man had grilled... more
