TLDR: Amazing, the seasonal menu is great — always ask your server for the “can’t miss” items. The gnudi (“nude-y”) and chicken and gnocchi were show stoppers! We liked how eel seasoned everything was — nothing overwhelming, just enough to enjoy the skilfulness of the chefs Wow, I get it now. Visited twice with family previously and had thought it was a solid, crowd pleaser but nothing stand out. BOY was I wrong! We were blown away tonight by the amazing food. Food: Thoughtful, tasteful, something for everyone. The typical crudos and artichoke dips are there to please. My family has loved the meatballs and the pull apart dinner rolls before. what we got: ⭐️ pesto gnudi - the first bite blew me away. we literally scraped the plate clean ⭐️ chicken and gnocchi - juicy yet crispy at tbe same time time. masterful! - farmstand salad - yummy, amazing cuts chosen and flavor - steak frites - the steak was ok. the jous and mustard aioli were incredible Atmosphere: semi-intimate seating. it felt a bit cramped and small. the decorations are a bit dated (think 2000s Tuscan, italian restaurant core). Service: everyone was kind and attentive. the manager even came over to talk to us! Brian was fantastic!

This restaurant is highly recommended by many foodies in Philadelphia, and even Taylor Swift has stopped by 📸✨. The overall atmosphere is very nice and comfortable 🕯️. Service was decent, and the food came out at an average pace. As for the food, it was good but not mind-blowing—definitely not as amazing as some online reviews made it sound, but still a solid choice. 🍤 Seared Sea Scallop & Fresh Gulf Shrimp Risotto: a bit on the heavy side, and the rice texture was too firm and grainy for my taste. 🍗 Roasted Chicken & Gnocchi: the chicken was slightly dry, and the flavor was just okay. One downside was the 🍸 cocktails, which weren’t very impressive. Overall, this is a restaurant with a great environment and no major red flags 👍. I’d come back to try different dishes, but I wouldn’t set expectations too high. ✨

Had an awesome dinner here Saturday night with my wife. Service was amazing, our server was super attentive and kind. The food was excellent. It was a little loud and crowded, but that’s what you come to expect for a Saturday night. I’d love to go back and try more food!
