I've only been here a few times since I now live out of town... but every time I visit, I appreciate the interior - I really like the look! We started with spinach / artichoke dip as an appetizer... thumbs up all around the table on that one. There are actually several appetizers on the menu that look good - it's always tough for me to choose - but if you just wanted to drop by for a happy hour nibble, I'd say most people would be covered. It'd be fair to say that apps are one of their strengths. I had a caesar salad, and it was good! Pretty standard caesar, but I'm amazed that many restaurants manage to screw it up by drowning it in dressing or whatever. None of the common mistakes here - nice fresh, crisp lettuce... good dressing and imo the right amount - not too heavy, not too light. Just right. One of my friends had the Chicken Parm and the other had Shrimp Scampi - both reported goodness! The dishes looked great, but I behaved this time and kept my fork to myself. I had the salmon - one of my "go to" dishes - and it was good as well. Yes... we had dessert! There were several good options, but we decided to share the cookie "mess". Good balance with all ingredients... and for something described as a "mess," it was plated quite well! Definitely high on my list of possibilities when I'm in the area!

The wood-fired pizza was one of the best we've ever had - how they get their crust so thin is amazing! We also shared an order of the chicken parm, which was delicious, with enough leftover for a meal the next day. The service was outstanding, and we really appreciated the owner coming out to say hello and ask how we liked our meal. We will definitely come back here again!

My family and I were exploring Grass Valley and came across this local Italian restaurant and saw…read morethat it had great reviews online. The restaurant was cozy and had lovely artwork. Once we had ordered I went to use the restroom and almost hit my head twice on the broken door hinge. When I came back we were served lunch and my waiter forgot to make sure my Fettuccine Alfredo had chicken as requested. I didn't say anything and wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt since he was new. Once we concluded the meal it felt like they forgot about us and we were waiting an extended amount of time to pay the check. The owner came to bring out a dessert for me which was on the house because it was my birthday. I thought it was really sweet and so did my parents but we were also trying to hit the road on our journey. Overall the lunch was decent but I also hope they can make some improvements.

I spoke with the chef and shared our love of learning so much in the Berkeley / Oakland area dining scene as chefs. We had some of the same inspirations and chefs.

I had a bruschetta and a great Duck 2 ways dish. Great flavor on all the dishes components. Real demi with my duck always an amazing treat. A very big thank you to Peter and my server Desiree.

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday last night, and unfortunately, the experience was really…read moredisappointing. We had a reservation but still waited about 10 minutes to be seated. After being sat, we received water and bread fairly quickly, but service went downhill from there. It took another 5-10 minutes for our server to check in, and when she did, we asked for a little more time. She returned about 5 minutes later and took our order, which included an appetizer and salads. From that point on, the wait times became excessive. Our appetizer didn't arrive for at least 30 minutes, and the salads took even longer. By the time we finally received them, we had already been there for about an hour. To make matters worse, a table seated after us received their food well before we did, finished their meals, and even ordered dessert while we were still waiting. At that point, we decided to just have our food boxed up to go. When we got home, the food itself was also disappointing. My lasagna was dry--which shouldn't be the case--and my boyfriend's dish was overly salty. Overall, the service and food quality did not meet expectations, especially for a special occasion. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

I came with a friend for dinner and decided to try their popular appetizers and they did not disappoint. The bruschetta we ordered came with toasted bread and a good amount of toppings that contain fresh ingredients, a favorite tonight. The steamed mussels and that "sauce" were a perfect addition to the bruschetta. I ordered the Seafood Alfredo and they did not skimp on the seafood which was a pleasant surprise because I find that happens at time at restaurants I've visited in the past. I haven't tried all the entrees but I really enjoy this one. My friend had the eggplant parmigiana and said it was superb and enjoyed it as well. She also had a drink, the sangria, a recommendation from the waitress, which my friend gave two thumbs up! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is charming, the service is great and the food is excellent. Great night.
