We happened upon this place is it was near the AirB'n'B we stayed at. Everything was really tasty and the service was spot on. I love the fact that Harrisburg is letting them close off part of the street to serve more people. We sat outside with our puppy, everybody was spooning over her. We had shishitos, foie gras (a special), Caprese, Miche toast (special) Agnello ( braised lamb tagine), spaghetti and meatballs for the kid (she didn't eat them she at mommy's steak) and the tuscan, for dessert the coconut flan. I give them 4 stars for two main reasons- the price (which seems a bit high. 28 for a little foie, 60 for a steak- not dry aged just aged (?) and 10 for the flan which was small and wasn't accompanied by anything (keep in mind its sugar, cream, coconut and vanilla- not very expensive ingredients). And the second reason- we asked for salt, the server give us the feeling that we insulted the house and the chef, like how dare we ask everything is seasoned perfectly. Look everybody has a different level of salt don't give the guest a pompous attitude cause they need a little more.

I made our reservation a month before and asked to be seated inside. They seated us outside and it was the worst experience! All of us (party of 4) have over 5 mosquito/bug bites. (They did give us bug spray but it did not repel anything!) I did ask our waitress if they were able to move us inside and was told no. Dinner: The truffle pasta is a MUST if you love truffle! (You can order in half or full plate) The Calamarata dish was superb! We did put in a request for a special dessert and they were able to accommodate as best they can. The 20% gratuity is added to your bill even if the service is slow/bad.

Service started out a little slow, but the food was incredible. Just an overall amazing dining experience. I'm still thinking about the linguine and clams. And, the steak was wonderful. The roasted beet salad was great, so were the cocktails. Five stars.
