The service was above & beyond superb!! The waitress was very patient with our questions, including our questions for gluten free options! The sake flight was wonderful & Nick (who poured the sake & gave us the history of each one!) was extremely knowledgeable! They gave my daughter a treat, since it was her birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We enjoyed our the food, too. My husband's Udon soup was really good. My bowl (I think it was sukyaki soup) was good, but a little too sweet for my liking. The Terryaki salmon & chicken were enjoyed by my daughter & her fiancée.

I've been here twice several months apart; the first time was at lunch, and the food was bland, while the second (more recent) time was for dinner and the food and service was excellent! I don't know if there's been a staff change, or if there's always a different cook for dinner, but that's definitely when I would recommend going! Don't let the cheesy cartoon logo fool you; this is a classy white - tablecloth joint, and I felt underdressed arriving in a t-shirt. This is also the rare Italian place to accommodate gluten restrictions.
