Super cute restaurant, i love the style. The pasta were very good. A bit noisy if you go 2 people. The staff was nice but they were maybe too busy, they forgot a few things. I recommend the restaurant 100%

Restaurant needs public wireless access. Food delicious. Menu selection guidance could have been more balanced. We asked about sharing and were told that portions were small. So we ordered a salad and two entrees. Both pasta entrees could have been easily sharable. Ordered three matching glasses of wine -- tried to get waiter's attention to just order a bottle, but by the time we got to him the glasses were already ordered and he couldn't do the more cost-effective bottle. Waiter was nice, charming, but he and no one else was all that accommodating.

The food was great. We had a reservation at 2:45 and the second we got there (at 2:40)the hostess rushed us to say the kitchen will close in 10 minutes. If that is the case they should not have any availability at 2:45. We felt very rushed and even though the food was good we were hurried through.

The quality of food has diminished since pre-pandemic days, and the prices have gone up disproportionately. Not a good value for the quality of the food I received. For the first time, I thought I could do much better in my own kitchen!!

Great space for outdoor seating and a good option for pre-show meals. The service was excellent, food was great, and the team did a great job of timing our meal knowing we had a show we were headed to. Really good Gin and Tonic!

A pretty splendid Italian experience overall. Service was a bit slow to start but was very attentive when we let them know we were limited on time due to a show. Would definitely go back to try more of the menu would like to try other seating in the restaurant like the bar or the patio.

Authentic Italian restaurant with great homemade pasta. We started with a nice salad and had the special pasta with gamberi. It was just spicy enough to make it interesting, but you could still taste all the flavors. The service was very attentive without being obtrusive.
