The food was mediocre at best. Pizzas are decent but the meager-portioned pasta dishes are incredibly lackluster. Save the $30 and make a frozen pasta dish at home. Don’t even bother with the wine options. This is not in any way shape or form a good value.

I have been there twice both times were amazing! I highly recommend the pizza or the pasta, it’s all freshly made. The only thing I would say is the noise level is really loud so be prepared for that.

Spectacular food, great service, and the perfect setting for a romantic Valentine’s dinner! The black truffle sausage rigatoni was absolutely INCREDIBLE and loved the NA options for drinks as well. A little bit on the pricier side but well worth it for a special occasion! We will be back!

The food wasn’t as great as the first time I went. I don’t particularly love sitting so close to others as it doesn’t feel as intimate.

Have to have a better system of booking and seating tables. Every seating time was backed up. It really made the beginning stressful. Perhaps more servers to move tables. A heated tent for those who are waiting so they don't stand in the doorway starring at those seated.

After arriving early, we still had to wait 20 minutes past our reservation to get seated. This is the 2nd time this has happened. They need to get the reservations system figured out. Our server was nice but may have had too many tables? She didn’t take our order for a longtime, didn’t clear empty glasses, didn’t provide more water, didn’t stop by to check on us,…etc.
