    Housed in a gorgeous mid-century-modern structure, this is Italian grandmother-inspired cooking with a sophisticated spin. Classic dishes meet seasonal, local ingredients in unexpected ways. Read more

    We love OJ's rigatoni, complete with meat ragu, dried cherries, mint, and hard ricotta. They've also got great cocktails w/ Italian liqueurs like the Ciclista (Stash IPA, Limonata). Read more

    My first time there and I will return back. The atmosphere is awesome. The food is great and the service was very friendly. You need to try the deserts, it's a must. Go and give it a try.

    Amazing new Italian food. Lots of small plates and starters can be shared and ordered by the piece. Good cocktails too! Try the sister restaurant Parkside for desserts.

    The Ravioli is delicious! As are the Brussels sprouts, acorn squash, calamari and meatballs. Amazing service as well!

    Take advantage of the outdoor seating, especially now that it's summer. It's great sitting out there with good Italian food, wine, and friends. Read more

    The pasta class was a great time. It also broke the mystery of pasta making if you’ve ever wanted to give it a try.

    Try the pork meatballs. Great. And the Amari list a must-try. Our server Justin was incredibly knowledgable on wine and food choices. Excellent.

    We had a small group of 14 seated at the chef's table, just off the kitchen. The food, service and ambiance was excellent.

    Excellent tapas, but also great entrees. Pork meatballs, muscles, and a great cocktail list to boot!
