    Food was good. Service was very slow. Told server we wanted the drink menu to order another cocktail and she never came back until she brought us the bill.

    Nice ambiance with an open floor plan. Server was responsive to our request to be in a favorable position to allow for time to get down the street to the Fisher for Les Miserables. The Bucatini...Focaccia, delectable! But the very small Espresso Martini (4) accounted for 60% of the total??! Don't come here for drinks...they're small AND over the top expensive (clearly a profit grab), which made for a less than desirable total experience.

    Loved it! It was our first time visiting and we will be back! The fritto, ravioli, beef shank pasta, and chocolate dessert were amazing. My only wish is that had more cocktails on the menu. The service was great and the sourdough starter was the cherry to start the evening.

    Great experience! Food and drinks was amazing! Would definitely come back to try more in the menu! Halibut and pasta with butter topped with truffles hits the spot for me! Dessert was good too! Me and chocolate! I had the Serpenti drink and I think that was yummy!

    We had an outstanding experience last night celebrating a friends birthday. Service and food were superb. Ryan was wonderful and so was the wine sommelier (we didn’t catch her name). We did the 4 course pre fixe menu with wine pairing. Every course was done perfectly. Highly recommend!

    Our waiter, Christopher, was great! The four-course prix fixe is a great deal. Food was delicious—loved the chicken and the bucatini. Highly recommend.
