“My favorite restaurant in Traverse City and one of my favorite restaurants I’ve ever been to. I’ve never had a bad meal here, the service is always excellent and the atmosphere is amazing. This is a must try restaurant!!”

“Highly recommend on many levels. I have eaten here multiple times over the years it is my favorite restaurant in Traverse City. This time I was there with a friend who is from Italy. She loved every dish and said it is the only authentic Italian food she has ever eaten in the US. Staff were very warm and food was amazing as always. We absolutely loved our server Noah. Atmosphere and timing of courses was very conducive to an enjoyable evening out with friends.”

“If you are looking for a fine dining experience with class, elegance, Devine food, and European atmosphere look no further. Everything is exceptional from ambiance, to wine, cuisine, and the knowledge of their servers. Some of my favorites over the years: Gorgonzola Fiocchetti, mushroom gnocchi, Focaccia, and the panna cotta. They also usually have specials that are fantastic.”

“Carter Taylor was one of the best servers that we have had in a long time, he was very knowledgeable about the food, wine and restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and we definitely will be back.”

“Beautifully decorated with a very cozy ambiance in The Commons, I visited in June ‘25 and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The food was incredibly tasty, only to be outdone by the fantastic service. Although the price point is a little high for me to be a regular visitor, I’d love to come back and try other dishes in the future. Th owner even came out to personally check on our experience and chat with us before my group left, which I really appreciate.”
