The food was very good, in my opinion a true Italian restaurant. It’s a great spot for a dinner date, with a chill and pleasant atmosphere. However, keep in mind that it’s cash only (there is an ATM inside). I do find it a bit pricey for what you get, after all it’s pasta, but the quality is definitely there. The cocktails are also very good, though on the expensive side. Overall, I recommend it for a special date night.

Beautiful restaurant. The food is just fine but it’s moderately priced. What killed the vibe was the incredibly rude wait staff (and owner or manager?? Couldn’t tell). Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $20–30

The Italian food here is outstanding and feels like home, all set in a charming atmosphere with welcoming service. I've visited several times for date nights and with small groups of friends, and it always delivers. Just a heads up: they only accept cash, which is clearly indicated on all the menus.

Incredible! The Italian food from Sardinia is fantastic, and the staff is very attentive. There's also a superb selection of wines.

I visited with my family during the summer, and the food was quite good. However, it was really hot inside since there was no air conditioning and the doors were open.
