Fantastic bar in Asheville downtown. The server was so nice and respectful. I'd definitely recommend this place if you are in the area and want to have some of the best Italian food and drinks.

Love this place! Especially if you have celiac.. so accommodating. I am so happy to find a place I can enjoy pasta again. Megan was wonderful! 100% recommend

Our group really enjoyed this place! From the appetizers, to food, to the drinks - and the cannolis and tiramisu! Our server Morgan was excellent and the rest of the wait staff was kind and efficient. Would definitely recommend as a great place to visit if you are visiting the downtown area of Asheville.

We literally stumbled across this place walking back to our car and were there for 4 HOURS!! David the Bartender was AMAZING!! He was super personable and engaging. Our drinks were absolutely fantastic!! No lie. the best I've had in a LONG TIME! The other servers were just as awesome too! They talked to us and didn't rush us at all. Plus, the playlist was BOMB! We're definitely coming back!

This was supposed to be a special occasion... We were so excited to come here and try it for the very first time. Everything started out great and quickly took a nose dive when my wife ordered a dirty martini and it came literally dirty with black flakes in it. When we asked what it is the bar tender responded with "its from the olive juice and its normal." Afraid to stir up conflict and have our food spit in we kept our mouth shut and pushed it to the side. We didn't drink it and still paid for it. The black flakes are not normal and should have been dealt with especially in a pandemic where everyone is afraid for their well being and like things extra clean. We still had to pay for it. We don't know the price but were thinking $20. Needless to say the rest of our time was about as good as the dirty martini. The service we give a 1. It was very evident that our waitress didn't want to have to deal with us since we had to ask for most items... We're guessing because we weren't satisfied with the DIRTY martini even though we didn't make a huge deal out of it. The food we give a 2. It was good but the food quickly became cold. The dessert we liked the most and would have to give a 4. It was delicious and the fondue was amazing, but the strawberry's weren't ripe yet and the churros were harder then a rock. Sadly were really disappointed because it was valentines day and also our 13 year anniversary. We would have loved for this place to help us celebrate this occasion but it was evident in the lack of service and presentation that this restaurant was not a good choice. Maybe we caught the waitress, bartender and cook in a bad time...Even though we may have chosen a bad place to spend $120 on lunch we're going to continue to make our 14 years a 5 star among this 2 star restaurant. (This review is based on our experience and opinion. We urge you to try it in hopes that you have a better experience then us.)

Food was amazing. Kinsey (I believe was her name) was a great server. She thought of things we didn't even think to ask before we did. Only thing keeping it from a 5 star is the outside patio needs a better space heater. Otherwise, absolutely recommend you come here for brunch. ??

Delicious downtown Italian restaurant. Great wine offering, bartenders that know how to mix drinks, and food that doesn't leave you feeling miserably stuffed. Only downside was the heavy-handed cocoa powder on the Tiramisu.

Plenty of room inside and the host would not allow us to go grab a drink and stand while we enjoyed it. 45 minute wait for two very early in the evening on a Saturday night is a little absurd.

Food was so good as always! 1st time brunch, host was on tip of game today. He was pleasant and quick. Waitress was very detailed and just awesome. Food was tasty and filling. Great location and just cozy cute spot.

Wonderful food great experience. Florentine Ravioli is heavenly.
