When my wife and I paid a visit to both restaurants on two separate special occasions, we left with a renewed love for fine dining. Emmett Fox, the owner of both, was there each time greeting, serving, hosting and engaging all of his guests with a glow of someone who loves what he does. The amazing food and atmosphere at both locations are things we're willing to pay high dollar for. We will be returning soon...

Zagat 2008 Top Italian Restaurants (ASTI)

"This charming little taste of Italy in Hyde Park offers unexpected sophistication in a funky neighborhood, and it does so without breaking bank; the creative, fresh fare on its everchanging menu is ferried by a friendly staff that is always available to help with suggestions and wine recommendations, and the modern dining room is comfortable and pleasant- which explains why it is so often crowded and busy on weekends."

Zagat Survey (FINO)

"'Modern, minimalist decor' that's both 'casual and chic' makes for a 'welcoming atmosphere' at this 'hip''new addition to the West Campus cuisine scene'; also 'inviting' is the 'inventive' Med menu featuring 'fresh ingredients in simple, flavorful dishes', which are served with 'interesting mixed drinks' and a 'wonderful wine list' by a 'personable staff'; P.S. 'when the temperature dips below 100 degrees, the nice outdoor seating''is hard to beat.'"
