Has anyone checked it out yet? They have been pretty crowded when I pass by. I find it odd that there isn't much info online about it.

I'm beginning to think they are doing everything they can to fly under the radar so that hipsters think it's cool.

My wife and I dined there week before last. It was excellent. I had the veal marsala and she had a pizza. The pizza crust was thin and like a cracker, which I like. The food and service were both great. We'll be back.

Can't wait to try this place. Did they use high quality cheese on the pizza?

I went recently. The wait staff was very good, but the food and drinks were so-so at best!!

I went for lunch. It was pretty good, but overpriced. Lunch menu is $18-$25.

I had the stuffed shells. 3 stuffed shells, 1 cheese, 1 seafood and 1 meat. Came with a salad and bread. I enjoyed it, but $20 is just too steep for what you got.

Waitstaff was ok, mostly a bunch of kids in red jackets. It was decent enough service, just nothing impressive.

It was very loud inside and we were probably the only people in there under the age of 60. Lots of blue hairs, but I guess that comes with the area.

its probably because, you went at lunch and it was expensive. young people dont really do $ 20.00 dollar lunches regularly.

So if lunch was around 20, Imagine dinner is about 10-15 more.

We went last night for our second visit and it was awful but maybe I just got a bad dish. Salads were so overdressed we could't eat them. No good desserts either. But I still have hopes for this place.

$20 lunches are the new norm. Panera bread and la Madeline are $13-15 for lunch. Of course a restaurant is going to be around $20.

Went today for lunch with my wife. It's definitely a "nicer" place than much of what's nearby but they are clearly trying to cater to the Bocage tennis crowd, not the people hitting Burger King or the roller bar at the Circle K down the street.

The bread that came out first was excellent. Light and crispy on the outside, but soft inside. Covered with herbs and surrounded with some oil to dip.

I got the shells another poster mentioned, and it came with a salad. I picked the Ceasar and it was very well done. Lightly dressed, very tasty dressing. The shells were awesome. Each sauce and each stuffing were well paired. All together that meal - bread, salad and pasta for $20 was well worth it. My wife got a shrimp dish (can't remember the name) but she enjoyed it as well. I tasted a shrimp and thought it was good.

All in all, I'd go back anytime. It was fresh and nice enough of a place to have a nice business lunch or a nicer casual dinner.
