Awesome vibe, cozy setting. Came in for restaurant week to get a feel for the place and left wanting to return for another go. The service was quick and incredibly professional and kind. Each dish was delicious but the pasta was the star of the show. The texture was perfect. The cacio e pepe was full of flavor, the buffalo ravioli might be my favorite pasta i've had in a long while. Finally, the gelato was so delicious. The popcorn gelato specifically had me intrigued and it blew my mind. Cannot wait to return and try more.
