We were greeted by the chef/owner, he was very friendly and appreciative that we were there. Our server was very knowledgeable and assisted in making our selections. Started with the Bresaola + Crackers, wow all of the flavors melded so well from the meat to the mustard and melon. For entree I had the Crab Mezzaluna which were crab and cheese filled with amazingly fresh tasting romesco sauce. We were on the fence if we should order dessert and landed on getting the Snickers, marshmallow, peanut meringue and crumble. Mouthwatering, I would come back just for that! They have a daily menu so the offerings are ever changing. If you haven been here you need to check it out!

Enjoyable experience here. Lincoln only has a handful of sit-down, fancier, Italian joints but this…read moreone is worth a revisit. Fancy on the inside but prices are really pretty reasonable. I got the Carsoni (pesto) and did both chicken and shrimp which was $22, it's enough for two meals though so this is fair. The sauce was flavorful, good consistency of oil and basil. Loved that it included mushrooms but could have used more of them in it, also had bell pepper and broccoli. I'm not sure broccoli goes too well with the pesto dish, but it was steamed well and soft. The shrimp were huge and they had 4-5 in the dish. We also did bruschetta as an app, and loved the fresh tomatoes/garlic/herbs on top. Loved the dipping sauce with the bread as im a balsamic/oil freak. The soup was just okay, it was a creamy chicken/potato but it was very pureed and not quite what I was expecting, I'm not sure there was even a chunk of chicken in it. I've definitely had better next time, I'll be inclined to try the salad instead. Drinks were fun, I enjoyed the black raspberry margarita flavor and a limoncello spritz although both appeared a bit too watered down and not too strong. Service was fine, however hard to really judge since we came during mid-day late lunch and I'm pretty sure we were the only table there.

I love chicken piccata usually order it all the time at Italian restaurants. This one is in my opinion too heavy on the citrus. Needs more butter or a heavy cream in the sauce. The citrus is way too acidic and over takes the whole dish. Doesn't really flow well. I ended up taking all the butter from my rolls which are delicious by the way. Putting all the butter into my dish and mixing the pasta up in it. That made it far less acidic. The soup was good can't remember the name sorry. The olive oil mix they serve with the bread is fantastic. Thanks

The atmosphere is really cool - elevated/upscale without feeling stuffy or overly fancy. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. We started with Brussels sprouts. These were super flavorful and perfectly crispy. My husband had the carbonara. It was so delicious and peppery, and the guanciale was by far the best I have ever had. I wish I knew the secret to getting it so crispy! I had the butternut squash risotto. This was also fantastic and super flavorful, and it tasted even better the next day. We can't wait to return to try more items off the menu!

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but I absolutely loved the mushroom mafaldine. It was so perfect and savory.

I do wish they would serve it with some butter though. Our server was fantastic and thoroughly explained the dishes we had questions about. The restaurant itself is also beautiful. You can really tell that everyone here really cares about the food and service they are providing. Already looking forward to coming back again!

Friendly service, comfy setting, and oh yeah - the food! Unfortunately for me, there is too much seafood on the menu but there's always something. People rave about the seafood dishes so I'll trust them and say it must be good. I'm just not into it. On this visit, we each ordered a cocktail. I decided to try the lemon martini which I never order and OH MY GOODNESS. It was awesome! They nailed it. The limoncello brought it home. My dining partner had a dirty martini and was satisfied as well. We enjoyed a Spezia salad which featured mixed greens, prosciutto, tomato, Kalamata olives, and a house vinaigrette. It all combined so well. The lettuce was wonderfully fresh, no need to pick out rotting leaves like some places. The dressing was simply light and delish. We shared a plate of spaghetti. You get several options to add to it. The grilled spicy Italian sausage sounded good. I'm not sure which was better. The sausage or the marinara sauce. Both were soooooo good!! The sausage was truly grilled and spicy and just amazing, and it was not greasy either. The marinara sauce challenged my own that I make at home. We devoured that plate of spaghetti which was big enough to share. I forgot to take a picture as it was served so I am sharing a tight shot of half the order after we divided it.

It can get pretty busy, so I definitely recommend making one ahead of time. The ambiance is quiet and really nice, and the restaurant is much larger inside than I expected, which makes it feel comfortable without feeling crowded. The happy hour menu is such a great deal. $6 Old Fashioneds is almost unheard of, and they are perfectly made for my taste every time. My favorite pasta is similar to a Cajun cream sauce, with the perfect balance of flavors and they definitely do not skimp on the chicken. My kids love the complimentary bread and always order the salmon pasta. I am usually too full for dessert, but this time we shared the chocolate raspberry cheesecake and it was so good it disappeared before I could even get a picture. Definitely a place we keep coming back to.
