Food was OK. Fresh house made focaccia was sent back for being collapsed and raw in the middle. Octopus starter was tough, and the French skinned chicken was not rendered. Crispy on the outside but thick and chewy skin on the inside. Wife’s salmon was cooked well and she enjoyed it. Might come back for another try.

Waited one full hour for our entree. The wait staff did communicate that the kitchen was running behind. They were correct. The food was as the waiter described. I was disappointed for our Christmas dinner. Not sure if I will return.

We ate here on Christmas day, and it was a full restaurant with two waiters doing their best to meet everyone’s needs. They worked hard, and were awesome! The food was excellent and well-prepared. The restaurant offers a great ambiance for a Christmas meal.

Server was great! Beautiful decor and ambience! Carbona pasta had fatty, quite hard chunks of ham that I had to spit out, not very hot, but otherwise tasted pretty good. Loved the salad with the special cheese crisps and bread was scrumptious. It was pricey.

Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and provided the best service. She was understanding that we were late for a reservation. Most of all she was aware of our time constraint as we were going to a Kings game and expertly timed our drinks, starters, and main dishes. She was superb! Thank you for the excellent meal and service!

Nice place. Had higher expectations based on OpenTable reviews here. Gabby, our server was great. In fact all the staff we encountered were really pleasant and helpful, from host to bartender. Really liked the atmosphere and the place was 1/3 full on a Wednesday. Shared two apps, the Panzanella - very end of season tomatoes were ok, but the octopus was much better. The pesto and carbonara pastas were fine but came to the table warm not hot, and the portions were not generous. Like many restaurants I think they’re struggling with staffing levels on a night like this. 4 dishes, 2 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine, and a generous tip brought us to $240. Other solid options in downtown and midtown but I’ll come back here sometime.

We celebrated our son’s 27th birthday and had a fabulous time. The food , drink and service were top notch. Tyler, our waiter, made the best suggestions from the menu, and encouraged us to relax and enjoy the experience, we took our time and felt welcome .
