The meals are as good as the ambiance. The sultry music, Italian granite floors, and candlelit interior combine to create a relaxing atmosphere. Cocktails are served at the large, solid mahogany bar, displaying a vast array of exotic liquors and Italian grappa. Beneath the glow of a circular stained glass mural depicting vignettes of musicians, one enters the equally impressive wine room. This area showcases the extensive, award winning collection of Italian and American wines stored in two beautiful mahogany and glass wine rooms. This, combined with the century old granite walls gives the room a feeling of warmth and intimacy. Bar open until 1am. 3 free private dining rooms seat up to 80 people. Bonus: 500 bottle wine list.
