Had a great meal with friends. Everything on point. The salad could have been chilled better, but otherwise flawless! Also noted they put better sun protection outside so that the restaurant was cool despite extreme heat outdoors.

Started with the burrata and pane fresco appetizers. Both were delicious and complimented each other well. Both appetizers seemed to be designed for 3 people FYI. I had the ossobuco and the wife had the spaghetti Nero. My ossobuco was well seasoned and beyond tender. It came with a delicious risotto and surprisingly great spinach! My wife’s pasta was delicious squid ink spaghetti in a really good sauce with plenty of seafood. Both entrees were exceptional! For dessert we had the lemon tiramisu. The table next to us didn’t care for it but we thought it was delicious. Keep an open mind, if you are expecting traditional tiramisu you may be disappointed….we didn’t know what to expect, which may be why we were not disappointed. Dinner for 2,…2 appetizers, 2 of the mid-level entrees, dessert, and 2 glasses of wine came out to about $140, which we thought was a decent value. This was our first time and we will definitely be back. Saw lots of other dishes go by that looked good as well.

The food was excellent - we had the lobster ravioli, mussels & clams (broth was excellent), their bread (so good), and the salad pomodoro. We loved it all and our server was vewr attentive. We do think they could dime the lights a little more at dinner time, but maybe that's just their vibe. Great dinner.

The food is not good at all. We tried 4 dishes. The ambience and the staff were top Notch. But they need to redo the menu and hire a chef. The meatballs were dry, the portobello mushrooms app was awful, the stuffed ravioli were blah, the bread was dry. The drinks and wine were good and our server was excellent.

Our server was very nice and attentive. The food was tasty, but portions were a bit small for the price. Inside the restaurant is very loud with a full house.

Sort of disappointing. Worst Carbonara I’ve ever had, even tried to explain that to the server who we only saw twice our whole experience. She seemed to not really be listening since she came back after taking our order asking us to remind her what we ordered. Tables too small could barely fit two plates and two drinks. Overpriced for very mid quality food. Did like the cocktails tho! But two drinks, two pastas, and one salad for over $100 and each thing not being that great is steep. Tourist trap for Instagram looks unfortunately. There are better local places!
