   Everything was impeccable! Comments were made about the best salmon our guest has ever eaten, fantastic spaghetti carbonara, delicious fusilli with pork/wild boar ragu, and yummy flatbreads. A definite must try! You won’t regret it. Loved the vibe!

   Amazing food but service was poor. Unfortunate because the restaurant has so much potential.

   The only thing better than the food was the service. Phenomenal staff I was so impressed and will definitely be back.

   We loved our experience here! The sommelier was really great and our waiter was attentive and very nice! Loved the decor for the holidays! I would definitely recommend the focaccia. The pasta was pretty good but the rest of the experience was so great so well worth it!

   I had the pleasure of dining here and started with the Carpaccio di polipo which was bursting with flavor and perfectly seasoned. For my main course, I enjoyed the Carbonara made with egg yolk—it was rich, creamy, and absolutely delightful. This was perfectly complemented by a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, which elevated the meal. To finish, I indulged in gelato paired with a dessert wine—a sublime ending to a fantastic meal. Highly recommend this spot for its exquisite flavors and excellent wine pairings

   Ambience was great! Food was okay. Was hoping for more pasta options, also overpriced “kids” pasta. Would go back just for apps and drinks.

   I went last night for my birthday dinner. Where the record, there is a caveat to my 4 star review. There was only one area I can’t genuinely give the place a 4 star, but everything else was absolutely wonderful and deserves all the five stars that they can get. I will start with the one area where I can’t give 5 stars, and that was the food. My friends and I all shared food, so we got to try a lot of items on the menu. The standouts were the lamb meatballs, the Hamachi crudo, the fusilli, and the tiramisu. All of the flavors in each of these dishes were very distinct, and delicious. However, given this is an Italian restaurant, we were underwhelmed with the ravioli and the clam pasta. While the portions weren’t tiny, I do feel the cost of the dishes was a little high relative to the amount food you received and what the fish itself was. But then again, we are also in DC. IMHO, and as others have said, where this restaurant really shines is the ambience and the service. First off, the holiday decor was gorgeous, and they were giving ornaments to all the diners, so it definitely set a festive mood. All of my party, except for two of us, were fairly late to the reservation. It was super crowded, but the staff were very accommodating and patient while we waited for our whole party. Additionally, our waitress Mariah was absolutely wonderful!! She was knowledgeable and charming while still being efficient . As the Birthday Girl, I appreciate the restaurant went out of its way to give me a special book about the restaurant. Mariah even managed to scrounge up a few sparklers to make my dinner extra festive in addition to my happy birthday dessert message. All in all, this is a great place for a casual yet slightly elevated dining experience. I’d come back for the customer service and ambiance alone, and despite the few disappointing pasta dishes, there were enough other star dishes I tried to make me interested to try more.

   Beautiful space nice looking menu, could be more flavorful - felt a little blah and lacking in context/flavor. Was there for lunch. Nice server but slow service

    Great! We had an authentic Italian woman at our table who approved. Wish there was at least 1 vegan pasta option for our vegan friend. Overall delicious and we will come back.
