We have walked by this place a few times and finally decided to give it a try, My boyfriend is not a Italian fan but is an asian food fan so he agreed. This is a Japanese version on Italian food the sauce is what stands out in my mind and makes the trip well worth it. You in all likelihood will not find this style of restaurant in any other US city. When you walk in and look at the chefs I am reminded of the hardcore chefs in Japan they take their skills in cooking very seriously and they look it. The waitress was pleasant and very attentive. The lighting and Music is soft and the night we were there they had the door open so the ambiance was a little romantic. First off on the high to dos here is the Beef Carpaccio sooo so good. One of the specials they were running that night was a Uni and tomato cream spaghetti, literally melted in my mouth highly recommended meal. Another highly recommended dish is the Seafood Pescatore it is like a clam linguini but topped with onions seaweed and tobiko, the Japanese twist. The menu has a lot of options and the waitress will help you decide plus they do have daily specials that change according to what they have fresh. We finished the night with a Crème Brulee but quite a bit different in taste to the normal Crème Brulee you've had in the past. I will definitely be back to try some new choices in the future!
