We decided to come here during yelp restaurant week, such a cool concept! I've been hearing good things about this new Italian place so I had high expectations. Upon entering, the bar area is gorgeous and I love the lighting. We made reservations and the hostess was great, and it was not too crowded. However, we were seated at a table that was pretty close to the table behind us so that was slightly uncomfortable.
Our waiter Matt was great, he recommended items and explained the menu and a recommended a great bottle of wine. There were some long waits between when we saw him, so I think he was slightly over assigned tables, but it wasn't horrible. The first dish we ordered was amazing, the fried risotto ball. I could have eaten 10 of them! Unfortunately I think that was my favorite dish. We both ordered salads and they were fine. For main dishes I ordered the chicken and hubs got lasagna and the fettuccini Alfredo. The chicken tasted great, but I feel like I could have made it at home. The lasagna was excellent and the fettuccini Alfredo was rich and delicious. They gave us the mushrooms on the side (because hubs hates them) and they were amazing.
Dessert we ordered the chocolate pizza and it was extremely disappointing. Very rubbery and not worth the calories.
Overall had a great time. I'm not sure I would make the trek up again from ballantyne for date night but I would definitely go back if I were in the area. So fun to try new places for yelp restaurant week!
