    The vibe was great, I went on a Monday night and it was very full. It was a nice date place and the service was quick and friendly. The lobster ravioli was delicious but the carbonara was just okay. The overall experience was fun but the food did not wow. Overall, I would go back again!

    I came here for my birthday and they were great! You get a cute birthday card upon arrival. They were also super responsive on the chat about adding an extra person to the reservation and about my bringing my own birthday cake to be served! All the food was amazing and so were the drinks. It was what I hoped it would be given who the restaurant owners/group is which are folks who run both Farmacia and Tony & Elaine’s—it was like if those 2 places had a baby, it would be this place. The top notch quality food and simple menu of T&E with the innovative and tasty drinks of Farmacia. All set in a beautifully decorated and cozy restaurant

    Really nice hidden speakeasy vibe and beautiful inside. Food was just ok. Chicken parm, spaghetti/meatballs and bolognese skimped on the sauce and the flavors were meh. The rice balls and the vodka pasta were delish. Menu is limited, which is fine, but then everything should be really good. Drinks and service were top notch.

    The food was embarrassingly bad. Service was really bad. They were nice but also not attentive. If they want to exist, they’ll need to try harder. I’m shocked by how bad the food was. It’s not hard to execute on Italian. Hope they bring their game up. Maybe the ambience is the biz model and it works. If so good for them. Good luck!

    Vibes are fantastic, service was very good, and drinks were excellent; food was closer to a 4/5 though. Nothing terrible, but didn’t “wow” either, and a few small misses. They bring out focaccia to every table, and ours was slightly undercooked and still doughy at the bottom; we also got the pesto orecchiette (good), the short rib cappelletti (very good), and the bolognese which was unfortunately under-seasoned. The tiramisu at the end was excellent. Overall had a nice time but a few small food execution errors prevented it from being outstanding.

    Pasta wasn’t al dente, arancini tasted like it had been made two days prior. Ambiance was incredible but not worth going for the food
