Really lovely place. Very pleasant, relaxed vibe. Great service. Food and drinks were both great (and at a reasonable price), and the mushroom tagliatelle was out of this world.

Great place. Drinks were good, but nothing new/extraordinary. The appetizers (we ordered a burrata and the cheesy garlic bread) both were really good. The pasta was good, but it was a slightly salty for my taste. If they get the salt right the pasta will definitely taste amazing! The lime tart as desert is a must. Will definitely come back.

My friend and I enjoyed dinner and drinks at bar vendetta for a nice girls night! The food was incredible, especially the cheesy pull apart garlic bread. The vibes were great as well. The only problem was the bar seating right near the kitchen, where there lacked ambiance.

I love it! Just wish the seating was 2.5 hours instead of two- got cut short on dessert which was too bad.

Small, cozy atmosphere and our experience was great! We shared a nice variety of food - bruschetta and meatballs to start and shared their “famous” cacio e pepe (which was delicious) and rigatoni with duck confit that also didn’t disappoint! Service was excellent. Worth a visit!

NYE menu was fantastic. Super appreciated the vegetarian options for my friend and we picked one of every dish. The veg options outshone the non-veg plates at times!
