This place is brand new and still not well known so I consider it one of my hidden gems. We ate here during its first week and everything was delicious. To start we had the bacon candy which was so tender and Smokey, it was a meat lovers dream. I also ordered the meatballs in a tomato sauce. Growing up in a Sicilian household it is rare that I am impressed by meatballs or sauce. This dish however was one of the best I ever tasted. The Wagyu burgers were also very tasty I just would have preferred a hardier bun or a brioche instead of the Hawaiian buns which many people like. I also had the linguini with white clam sauce and applewood smoked bacon which was divine. It was loaded with clams and the sauce was so intense and just the write texture. My wife had the Rigatoni with vodka sauce, Burrata and ricotta. She said it was also a great dish. I really can’t wait to go back to try the other dishes on the menu. The Chef, Joe, even came out of the kitchen at one point and talked to us along with many of the diners. This place is truly a hidden gem which I fear will be very well known soon, I really wish I could keep it all to myself but that would be selfish as I really want this place to succeed so I can go back again and again and...
Read moreWe found this place because of a random convo in a doctors waiting room. When we got there it was kind of dead and I questioned our choice. We went in anyway and I am glad we did. The owner greeted us and we were sat at a comfortable table. The drink menu had cool drinks with fresh ingredients and they were strong. We ordered meatballs and the hot honey peach burratta as apps. The meat balls were close to if not the best i ever had and the sauce they are in helped that along. The sauce was a dark red from the fat of the meatballs and delicious. We ordered our entrees which included chicken parm, tortellini, branzino and, black sea bass. we all shared to try everything. The chef/owner accommodated a change to the recipe leaving out the cream in the tortellini sauce . Overall the food was excellent and we will definitely be back. The owner who is the chef is the nicest guy and wants to see his customers happy. My plate was loaded with way more than i could eat. Yay breakfast leftovers . Give them a try I think you will be...
Read moreThis restaurant is a GEM. Don't miss it. The food is spectacular, as one might expect from an owner who has been the Chef at Michelin star restaurants in NYC. The only difficulty you will have with the menu is choosing among the offerings. That difficulty gets worse after you have been there a few times, as each item you have previously had calls to you as you decide. One must be disciplined in forcing a new and different menu choice from your list of favorites. But rest assured, you will LOVE whatever new dish you select. Though the menu is moderately expensive, the portion size is ridiculous, In the many times my wife and I have been there we have always taken half of our dinners home for an excellent home meal the next evening. On top of the great food, great service, great value and quiet noise level, you will thoroughly enjoy Chef Joe's visit to your table during your visit. He is a joy to speak with and leaves a very comfortable sense of familiarity that will be there on your future visits. DON'T MISS...
