    Drinks were great! Pasta dishes were good but the cheese in them were overpowering. The broccolini was AMAZING!! Ambiance was really nice. Kind of loud there is a fight to talk over the music. Overall it was good!

    It was our first time here and our server Daniel gave us great recommendations all the way through the menu. Highly recommend the fried risotto balls. Only complaint would be that our pasta wasn’t very warm when it arrived (we got the carbonara) and skimped on the guanciale, but the flavor was lovely. Get the tiramisu for dessert.

    Disappointing evening. It took over 45 minutes from the time we placed our drink order to receive our drinks just to find out that the beer one of our guest ordered wasn’t available. Our main course was served but we had to wait another 10 minutes for silverware and our table was never cleared after we ate. The food was average at best but after that type of service, it was difficult to enjoy anything. Disappointing b/c we’ve had multiple positive experiences there in the past.

    Let me preface my review by saying my wife and I have been to Italy six times -- everywhere from northern Italy to southern Italy to central Italy. We've had eaten at lots of different restaurants there -- and we make it a point to seek out the places that aren't crappy tourist food. Also, my father is a gourmet chef who has cooked for anywhere from dozens of folks to hundreds of people... always with rave reviews with people saying (when applicable) that this was the best Italian food they've ever had... and they've been to Italy. So I think I know good Italian when I have it. Onto the review... The ambiance was nice. Nice lighting and in a nice space. The host and our server were friendly. We got a meat and cheese charcuterie board of sorts. It was $30+ -- which is a bit pricey for what we got. I wish there was a bit more of the meats. The focaccia bread was toasted nicely and the salt was perfect on it. The fig jam and honey were nice. The salami was a bit too spicy for my wife, so I let her have the limited prosciutto from the tray and I ate the salami. She ordered the cacio e pepe; I ordered the carbonara. Even though the plates themselves were warmed, the pasta itself was borderline cold. I know it got chilly outdoors when the sun went down, but I dug in the moment I got my plate. I like a good amount of black pepper on cacio e pepe, but both my wife and I thought hers had too much pepper "bite" to it. My carbonara had very limited guanciale... but I was more disappointed in the pasta texture (quite shy of al dente; it was pretty firm) and the sauce (which tasted more like egg than a creamy cheese sauce). Yes, I'm aware that carbonara has egg in it, but this looked (and tasted) like the ratio of eggs to cheese was about 2 to 2 1/2 times what it should be (based on what I've had in Italy and how I make it at home). If you're looking for Italian and it's not too far away, I'd recommend giving Mezza Luna a try in lieu of this place.

    What a surprise. Fantastic atmosphere inside and out. Really neat vibe and good for families and date night alike. Most importantly, the food was outstanding from the focaccia to the Mista and radicchio salads, the gnocchi, tagliatelle, Bolognese, and pesto. We will definitely be back. Excellent food, excellent service, really special place.

    This is our go to for dinner + drinks before going out or just wanting to have a fun, lively night. We sat on the patio for the first time and it was just as nice as the inside + bonus points for being able to reserve outdoor seating. Everything I order here is always amazing. Our server, Michael, was the best and recommended some amazing drinks and food I hadn’t tried before.
