We waited for about 5-10 minutes at the bar before we were seated in the back patio. I was glad we sat outside since the air conditioning was way too cold for when we were inside. We both ordered the mezcal margaritas, they were really good and refreshing. We ordered the burrata, Truffle Cacio e pepe and the ricotta ravioli. I was not very impressed with the burrata which sat on top of rhubarb and pistachio but I loved the bread that came with it. They have a bakery and bake the breads in house. The truffle cacio e pepe pasta was delicious and very filling. I tried my friend's ravioli and I thought it was fine but nothing special. The pizza looked very good so I'll definitely try that if I'm back in the area.

What intrigued me the most was that all their pizza options can be made gluten free and vegan which is music to my dietarily restricted ears. Although I didn't eat in and just ordered to go, I really enjoyed my experience. The staff was super friendly and welcoming and took their time explaining the menu items to me. I ended up ordering the margherita pizza which was pretty affordable for the size (although they do charge extra for gluten free and vegan swaps...oh well! . They told me it would be a 15-20min wait so I went back to my apt and right at the 20min mark, they had it ready for me. Now let's talk about the pizza. OMG. So freaking good. Like they are seriously not playing around here and even with it being vegan gluten free, they did not compromise on the quality. I can easily see this becoming a go to pizza spot for me. Overall I highly, highly recommend!

The last few times we've eaten here however we felt like the menu was a little tired and needing of a refresh it hasn't changed significantly in a few years. What's more, I feel like the execution of the food has decreased. What used to be consistently delicious is now often cooked poorly or doesn't taste like it used to. Hope things can change for the better soon!

The service was not wonderful. We only saw our waiter when he took our order. No one ever came back to refill our drinks. It was a busy night but I was not impressed with the service.

The tapas are delish. My favorite cocktail is the Franccesco. read more The tapas are delish. My favorite cocktail is the Franccesco.
