The service was lousy. Cocktails weren’t served until we were in middle of the appetizers and even then, the server forgot my husband’s beer. Appetizers came out extremely fast but we’re barely warm. Obviously, not made fresh for our order but just sitting in the kitchen. Pasta dishes were good but pizza not worth the calories. Will not return.

Excellent drinks. Definitely get the zuppa with mussels. So good! Amazing burger and their Brussels sprouts are a must-have. I almost ordered a 2nd side to take home. The Nutella Budino was taken home and thoroughly enjoyed. Will 100% go back.

The Utica riggies were amazing! Hands down best I’ve had and loved the homemade rigatoni with the spicy vodka blush sauce. Pizza was fantastic and so were the truffle garlic mashed potatoes. The bartender special cocktails were very good. The pesto pasta was a little dry and bland, the muscles were just all around horrible. Overall we had a great experience and would just order the things we loved again and pass on the muscles…
