    The food was ok. But they overbooked have no waiting area so you’re left on the sidewalk waiting in the cold, then tried to fit us at the bar. Ended up waiting 20 minutes to be seated, then rushed again because they overbooked to the point where even one of the bus boys came to the table and angrily asked us while we were eating if we were finished with our food and grab the plates honestly any other Italian places just as good and you probably will have a much better experience avoid this place at all cost

    The pastas were over sauced unfortunately. We had expected true Cucina Italiana, but we were given good but not great pasta. The American idea that “more is better” has invaded their cuisine.
