Finally went to this location for an anniversary/date night. I made reservations the morning of, which was very smart because it was BUSY! We were seated in a booth. The lighting was a little too dark for our preferences. But don’t worry, the food lite up the table. The crispy polenta now has my heart along with the warm Chocolate cake. I could have eaten 10 servings of each! I wish I could go back for breakfast!

Always consistently delicious. We both had the grilled veggie sandwich with broccolini, mushrooms, onions, mozzarella cheese and pesto on a focaccia bun. Half of mine is going home for dinner! Love the atmosphere and you can dine inside or out.

Lovely atmosphere and I really want to like this restaurant. The food we had today was good, but not great. The salads were small and light on the non lettuce ingredients. The polenta, while nice and crisp without being greasy, was a little bland. Fortunately, the marscapone truffle spread saved the polenta. I think this place has a lot of potential, though, so we are going to try again.

We found this place on a whim while visiting Carson City and it was amazing! We enjoyed lunch with the prosciutto sandwich with minestrone soup and the chicken parm sandwich. Both were amazing and the atmosphere outside was wonderful. Wish we could go back and try more items!

First time in. Kenny gave great service. Had a difficult time deciding on specials vs. regular menu. Lots of good choices, we’ll be back. Not pictured the smoked chicken chowder and cappuccino. Both were excellent. Also and a great Negroni, Aperol spritz was a little off. Nice glass of Italian Barbera. Great place!

What an amazing experience!! The food was impeccable, especially the homemade pasta. Appetizers and entrees were all delicious. A perfect evening for both of our palates. Kenny was extremely knowledgeable about the food and the wine and the service he provided was top-notch! And don’t even get me started about the beautiful human that is Howard, who manages the place. Definitely recommend!!!
