The rigatoni was amazing and we enjoyed our cocktails! The restaurant was packed with multiple large parties when we arrived so it was chaotic feeling at times and very loud. We overall enjoyed it but wish it felt more intimate, especially for the price range it is.

Food was excellent. Big portion of mussels for only $2 more than the Caesar salad - seems salad is mis-priced (too high). Service was ok. Young boy didn't really speak english or understand when ordering. Other than that, I had a pleasant experience.

We just returned from Italy were we dined at several Michelin rated restaurants. This matched those experiences. Service was great. My wife is hard of hearing and they placed us at the perfect table that reduced noise. Our waiter was knowledgeable and prompt. We asked for a red blend bottle within our price point and he hit it out of the park. My only complaint (which isn’t really a complaint) was that the serving size was more than expected. After the meatballs and linguini there was no way I could touch the Veal Parmesan. Oh well, I cannot wait to have it tomorrow. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We started with Prosecco while reviewing the menu. Appetizer was frying misto- very good and not than enough for 3. Next the special soup, salad Della casa and Caesar salad - all fresh and tasty. Entrees were the bronzino, the special sea bass and the mixed seafood with pasta. All were yummy. A bottle ofQuerceto accompanied dinner. Dessert was a great chocolate cake to celebrate our friends birthday. Very nice evening to celebrate

Shared a business meal here during an industry conference. The atmosphere and food were excellent. Well prepared Italian favorites along with some special treats were shared. Apps worth sharing. Definitely spring for the Veal Milanese. It was a monster portion and outstanding. Only criticism was the wait staff. They were a little behind in addressing our table and taking orders. They picked it up as we went along, but some work could be done there with attention to detail and speed of engagement.
