It felt like a family style restaurant that's hidden in a strip mall. Our waitress was great, gave us her recommendations for the menu and made sure we were well taken care of. The pizza was awesome, I'd definitely come back for that crust. Their meat sauce in the ravioli wasn't my favorite, mostly because there wasn't much meat in the sauce, but the flavor was still good! Definitely get the added cheese on your garlic toast, they're not shy with the cheese so it's worth the extra charge. We'll definitely be coming back for the pizza and the small business ambiance!

We made a reservation on both occasions but didn't have to make it too much in advance so it's always worth checking on. Service is always spectacular with a huge attention to detail and really customized spiels about the menu. The things I've recently tried for drinks have included the spritz del ambratta, the fiore, and a sparkling red from their wine selection. I find myself going back to the Fiore and would recommend that most although their wine is a solid selection as well. In my opinion, the best starter combination is the focaccia plus the lemony beans. The focaccia is solid and it's so good to dip in the mixture that the beans are doused in. The Caesar was decent as well but you can't miss with that other combo. Then, of course, the mains. If you love creamy pasta, do yourself a favor and get the cavatelli. One of my favorite dishes I've had there; I kept almost comparing it to an adult Mac and cheese. Great for sharing if creamy pastas are a bit too rich for your liking. The lasagna is always a close second and you can't go wrong with it. My friend adored the pickle pizza and I thought it was solid too although I would still probably get the cavatelli or lasagna if you are between that and the pizza. Another great shareable. The saffron spaghetti was decent with some really good bite from the noodles and the taste of saffron really coming through, but I would probably get those other dishes before I would order that. On the first occasion, I was there we were celebrating two of my friends' 30th birthdays and H&S did such a good job of celebrating and making them feel special plus they brought out French silk pie cannolis for us plus glasses of sparkling wine, so I would highly recommend this place as a celebratory dinner. I hope it becomes a big mainstay in twin cities/twin cities adjacent cuisine.

The menu has a lot of options that sound good. I ended up getting the "chicken" entree and it aaa great! Two chicken breasts over mashed potatoes and covered with a delicious cream sauce. I do wish it had some asparagus included or some other vegetable but in any case, I enjoyed the entree! My husband got the NY strip and it was fine, served with a salad, but all other sides are a la carte. I think the cocktails are a weakness, not a huge variety and none were appealing to me, so I went with wine.

It isn't overly fancy and the prices are moderate, but it still feels like a special experience. I had the tortiglioni Rossa, which was clearly a fresh red sauce because it had chunks of tomato of various sizes in it. The pasta was properly cooked and not mushy. The sausage in it had good flavor and was ground relatively finely so it incorporated in every bite. My girlfriend had the mushroom chicken risotto, which she enjoyed. It was a little less of a traditional risotto because the rice wasn't as saucy, but she enjoyed the flavor and there was enough sauce on the chicken. Our service was really prompt and friendly and the food was delivered quickly and played well.

Free parking right behind in the East lot, it was already more than half full at 10am. They had just opened and there were already a few tables occupied. It felt busy and maybe they didn't have enough staff for that time. There were only 2 staff taking orders. We stayed inside as it was a very hot day. We've been there for dinner before and always liked the modern cozy interiors. Our server took our drink orders and gave us a complimentary order of cardamom donuts, as if they knew it would be a while. The brewed coffees came out pretty fast but he didn't come back to take our order until almost 10:30, when we finally flagged him down. The food didn't take long but he forgot to put in my MILs side order of bacon so that didn't come out until we were mostly done eating. They had a good breakfast selection and lunch was available as well.
