Took my wife here for here birthday and it was great. Turns out she used to watch Lidia cook all the time so she was very excited to come here. Definitely reserve a table because they are very popular. The Tiramasu is ridiculously good. Everything was perfect, definitely the best service I've had in my life.

We had our wedding dinner in the Terrazza. We had around 70 guests and I wanted to make sure I chose a place with ambiance and that didn’t feel like just a room with four walls. We loved everything about it! The gorgeous room, the downtown upscale location , the food was fantastic, the service was impeccable and friendly! There was plenty of parking for guests which is rare for a downtown location. Terra, Matthew and Doug helped to make it the best night of my life!

Outstanding food. Appetizers, filet minion, tri pasta, deserts. Great service. Lots of close parking. My new regular nice dinner location. We actually used their upstairs private event space for a group meal w/drinks. Very happy, A#1 the best...

I highly recommend this restaurant! The food was all good and most of the pasta is freshly made. The desserts are also delicious and the whole restaurant is very beautiful inside and outside. The reason I deduct 1 star is because the servers who served our pasta table side were not very careful. Sauce went everywhere and it stained my husband's white shirt. Also the same tableside pasta came when I was still enjoying my salad and instead of coming back to us they took away my salad to serve our entree. Other than that, it was an enjoyable dinner.

This historical train station has the atmosphere, the food is phenomenal and loved our evening here. We had not planned our white evening so we didn't have a reservation. They happen to have a few tables in the bar area. We started with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. PROSCIUTTO E BURRATA Smoked Prosciutto, Burrata, Gnocco Fritto, Fig Jam, Arugula so unexpected but delicious. The gnocchi is rolled out like pita chips and fried. Our friend got the salmon, perfectly prepared medium. We also got the all you can tasting trio for $28. This is not Olive Garden, this was homemade, fresh and make with love and care... This was a deal! Their summer pasta was the ricotta with pear ravioli. The Bolognese in a fettuccini noodle and their spicy shrimp and rigatoni tomato sauce. Hands down the pear ravioli and the Bolognese top notch. They walked around and served this right to you, hot to your plate! The other dish we tried was the Brasto, Boneless Beef Short Rib Braised in Red Wine, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Gremolata. The braised shortrib melted in your mouth. The best part of this historic restaurant is that used to be a train station and if you look at the windows and the doors they all accommodated the trains..They would park them at night. History is a beautiful thing paired with the food, the service, great company makes for a memorable evening. Highly recommend!
