The ambiance of this bistro style place is romantic, intimate with a chic rustic European feel to it. The two-floor, picturesque interior has exposed brick walls, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and large windows, rustic wooden tables, with soft lighting, and large pillows for the bench seating along the walls adorned with historical pictures and an attractive marble-top bar.
The Salumeria (Italian style deli) with imported meats and cheeses in the back completes the picture of the European style bistro.
The seasonally changing menu is creatively prepared using fresh local and imported ingredients.
In addition to the entrees, they also have a large selection of sandwiches made with high-end ingredients fresh out of the Salumeria where such exotic specialties as Spanish cured ham, dry-cured smoke ham, and Tuscan-style cured meats can be had.
