Great dinner here that exceeded expectations. Food was super delicious with every dish a hit and no misses. Pastas are awesome with the spaghetti and meatballs a don't miss dish. Service was warm and friendly. The space was bustling. Wines werebanging. Can't wait to come back.
Came here with some friends for night out dinner. The food is great, with great Italian options. The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing, and gave that classy dinner vibe, with perfect lighting. The waiters were really nice. The outsidebalcony is also perfect for those who love an outdoor vibe. Lastly, the pricing is not bad. Might try it again.
The food here is some of the best I've ever had. When I first walked in the building, I notice the place was small and packed (it was a rainy Tuesday night). The servers were all over the place and didn't seem to have the orders/tables organized. It didnot make a good first impression. However, all that changed when I tasted the food and wine. Each dish was better than thelast. I could taste each ingredient used; something only a highly skilled chef can accomplish. My favorite dish was the squidink pasta. I will be ordering take out next time. Highly recommend. 5 star food 5 star wine 3 star service 3 star atmosphere
The fact that they have no bread service lost a star. They wanted to charge $4 for bread. Our check was about $221 for 2 people (that's with tax and tip) but no bread service. So no bueno. Taste wise, Everything was good. The peach dessert had aninteresting salty flavor rather than sweet but that was okay by me. The corn tortellini, the duck, the beet salad, and theStracciatella were all delicious but would I come back for any of it, probably not. There wasn't a cravable taste to the food.However I might be back to try other items on the menu. I would give service 5-stars. It was wonderful. Attentive but notintrusive.
The pastas were to die for. We got the Torchetti and the Squid Ink lobster pastas and they were heaven on earth. The pork meatball appetizer was great but not amazing, but since we weren't crazy about the lamb especially its cost we would probablyorder the meatballs again to eat with the pasta. We were full on 2 pastas 1 meatball appetizer and we were pretty hungry. Wedid have the hidden peach tart dessert that wasn't on the menu using our second stomachs but it was tasty but just average.Basically apple pie texture, but wish the peaches were soft instead of crunchy. Overall fantastic place and those pasta disheswere out of this world. The ambiance is a little crowded and a tad noisier than I would've liked. The waitress was sometimeshard to get a hold of (wish they scanned the area before turning around) but if it's the flavor you value more than the vibethen highly recommend.
