   They have expanded. The new addition is nice to have although it is not the small quaint italian feel that the original inside section has. The wait staff was very busy and it was crowded. The lentil soup changed some. I was charged for hot water - not excited about that. While the food was good and a great staple place to go some of the old charm seemed to be missing.

   The experience was ok under the circumstances. It was very busy and they were an hour behind seating their reservations. There was no hospitality whatsoever during the 1 hour wait standing outside on the side walk. Maybe be s little less greedy and limit your reservations slightly to accommodate patrons who are lingering with friends and family on the holiday, if you do not believe in time limits on reservations.

   Authentic Italian cuisine that seems to be a favorite among locals. However, be prepared to arrive at least 30 minutes before your reservation. We waited for 40 minutes, and it appears this is a common occurrence at this restaurant.

   This restaurant does not take reservations. By making a reservation on this app it is allowing you to wait at this time. We waited 45min last night. Some waited over an hour because of their table size. I did question the definition of the word reservation, the very kind hostess said there was nothing she could do and she had no say with the management. The food and service was good…just be prepared to wait.

   Perfect ambiance and delicious food. The devil is in the details; the ossobucco alla Milanese was a standout (paired well with Chianti), as was the ravioli di Spinaci e Ricotta. We also enjoyed the desserts—tiramisu especially, as it was not too sweet and paired well with espresso. A major plus is that it felt like we were the only diners, despite being fully booked for Christmas Eve; a crowd had gathered at the host stand by the time we left, so I strongly recommend early supper 4-5pm for anyone with young children! It was intimate and private, and my toddler’s needs were always addressed patiently and with genuine warmth, as were my mother’s dietary requirements (gluten, dairy and nightshade allergies). Highly recommend for family meals especially.
