    Nice layout with a good amount of indoor/outdoor seating options. Modest decor. The wine menu is focused primarily on France and Italy but look toward to seeing if it expands to other countries in the future. Didn’t try the food but same sentiment as with the wines.

    I have now dined there two times--once on opening night (December 13) and December 30. The pictures are from both nights.

    First, the atmosphere. Both nights it was packed, which I was pleased to see. River Market desperately needs more sit down dining options that stay open past 7 and I think the busyness is an indicator that people are ready! I sat at the bar both nights and found the service to be quite attentive, if not a bit rushed.

    The drinks--a decent selection of beer, but nothing that you can't find elsewhere in the city. Peroni, High Life, several Boulevard selections, as well as a Martin City and like one other local. Hamm's in a can, too. The wine selection is what really disappointed me. This place was marketed as a wine bar, but the wine selection is nothing to write home about. There are several restaurants that come to mind in town that don't call themselves a wine bar but have much more in the way of wine. I think the alcohol selection leaves a bit to be desired and maybe they'll expand their offerings as they find their footing.

    The food--ok, so I've had the calamari, the lamb meatballs, the eggplant fries, the moussaka, the greek salad, the grilled hangar steak, the spaghetti and meatballs, and three of the desserts (donuts, cheesecake, and chocolate torte).

    The calamari is fantastic, the batter is nice and light and the sauces are divine. We eat at Brown and Loe all the time and love their calamari but I think Enzo's has the edge.

    Eggplant fries were a bit greasy, but was easily the biggest portion of anything I've had here. The flavor was nice but they kind of fell flat for me.

    The Moussaka is amazing and is hands down the best thing on the menu I've had so far. The portion is just right, as it is extremely rich and decadent. I cannot say enough good things about this dish. I need to work my way through the rest of the menu so I won't be ordering it again soon, but this is something I would come back specifically for.

    The Greek salad is aight. Unless you just have a craving for a Greek salad, I would not say this is a must order. I did like the olives that came with the salad though.

    The meatballs are good, but the portion is small. For $12, I would expect at least another meatball. I wouldn't order them again. The steak is tasty, though a small portion. The spaghetti and meatballs was a familiar Ragazza vibe. Good, but I'm at Enzo to eat Enzo specific dishes. I understand that part of the plan was to offer some Ragazza favorites.

    The donuts are *chef's kiss.* Warm and sitting on top of lemon curd. When the bartender said lemon curd, I was sold. I love anything lemon curd. I'm not sure if they make the cheesecake in house. It came with raspberry coulis on top and was my least favorite. And finally, the flourless chocolate torte was pretty good, extremely rich. I couldn't finish all of it.

    My 3 star rating is probably more like a 3.5. I don't know that I would go out of my way to come back, unless it was for the moussaka. I think some tweaks to either the portions or prices would go a long way for me to feel value. I don't mind paying a pretty penny if the food I'm receiving is also top notch. I feel like Enzo is still trying to find its footing and I really hope it does! I live very close by and would love to become a regular patron, it's just not hitting the mark for me now.

    A sister restaurant to Ragazza Food & Wine, Enzo is the perfect spot for a classy night out in the River Market. From food to service, my husband and I were so impressed by their opening weekend. We made a table reservation on Tock. Staff was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We loved their carefully curated wine offerings. (The cocktails looked really good too!) The menu has a little something for everyone - from apps to small plates to entrees and desserts. Everything we had was delicious. We tried the spicy feta dip, lamb meatballs, chicken & risotto and baklava. We will be back!

    Was lucky to attend a soft opening of this new restaurant. It was amazing! The spicy feta dip was delicious (and quite spicy!). The moussaka was amazing. Good cocktails and wine list as well. Definitely will go back!
