The ricotta and garlic bread appetizer was disappointing; the garlic bread was tough and served lukewarm, and the ricotta was unwhipped and difficult to spread. The lasagna was overly watery and lacked flavor, while the veal piccata was fried and flavorless. To top it off, the server seemed unsure about how the dishes were prepared. I won't be returning.

The pastas and sandwiches are consistently excellent, and I particularly enjoyed the Antipasti Salad. However, during my last visit, the service felt somewhat disorganized. It appeared that the staff wasn't fully prepared, and there was some confusion regarding their roles. I hope this improves over time. Overall, it’s a great spot for a quick lunch or a relaxed family dinner.

The renovation creates a much more welcoming environment compared to when it was Carbone’s, offering a lively atmosphere that's perfect for dining solo at the bar while savoring an outstanding meal. Every item on this menu is exceptional—everything is made from scratch and extraordinarily fresh.

Super cozy and cool spot. Felt very historic, like it was an official part of the neighborhood. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 read more Super cozy and cool spot. Felt very historic, like it was an official part of the neighborhood. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The pasta was incredible. We also ordered the whipped ricotta with garlic bread and we were fighting over every last piece. You can tell everything was made in house and came from top quality ingredients. While the prices are somewhat high, I think it's worth it. A huge plus for me is that it wasn't too loud and my husband and I could quietly talk with one another. Food came out fast and we can't wait to be back and take guests there!
