This is definitely our new local spot for Italian.
Exposed brick walls meet modern white marble with an open kitchen that's vibrant and at the center of is all. The bar is bright with high top communal tables and blends seamlessly into an outdoor space. The patio is cooled by misters and accented with bright greens and turquoise giving it a Miami vibe.
My girlfriend took me last night for my birthday. We nestled into a dark brown tufted booth tucked into a dark back corner. The perfect vantage point for taking in a long meal.
The service was on point in every way. 100%
We took our waiter's suggestion and tried the tasting menu. Five courses each with several small plates, it was amazing. Highlights were the oil poached octopus, gnocchi with clams (already de-shelled which was nice), the crispy chicken, and a surprise grapefruit sorbet. It was such a feast we came come with so much leftovers. Yay!
Five courses for $65/pp. can't beat it.
Chef Scott happened to be in town. He seemed really engaging with all the staff and patrons. He took time to chat & take pics with so many folks including us. He even came back to serve us dessert complete with birthday candles.
(We weren't fans of his before, but we are now.)
Looking forward to going back to try happy hour & more of the menu.
