    Great atmosphere, great wine, great service, amazing Cesar salad -- but our pasta was a tad under al dente, making the bite a little harder than they had intended.

    Honestly surprised at this experience. Wait staff seemed flustered and struggling to keep up from the minute we walked through the door. Never put a drink menu down. Never put down serving utensils for one dish. Struggled to flag down our server or hear her when she came due the noise level. Decor was minimal / industrial - concrete and metal. Felt like an unfinished construction project accented by poor quality fake plants. Pasta was served al-dente, rigatoni overly so. Meatballs texture was mushy. Flavors were good. Standout was the gnocchi - light, interesting and delicious. Pizza was good. They were out of the affogato dessert which we looked forward to. The only bread in the meal came with the meatballs dish. For $25 pasta dishes they should have served bread. I would not return.

    The service was great! Loved our waitor. The food was ok. A lot of potential but every food item we had was just a little off. Almost like they’re doing too much. Chicken was bland too, huge bummer.
    GustoResponded on November 13, 2024
    Samantha, Glad you loved your server, sad you didn't enjoy the food. Sounds like maybe a seasoning issue, as the food is typically one of the highlights. We will discuss with our chef team. Thank you for the feedback.

    We tried a bunch of different things on the menu and everything we ordered was delicious! The cocktails were also great and they have a surprisingly extensive wine list. Will definitely be back.
