I got the chicken parmesean, and i don't recommend it. The chicken was dry, and the pasta had no sauce. It was dumped on top but wasn't tossed with the pasta itself. The bread was stale, and when i asked for olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I got a mixed balsamic salad dressing of some sort. It is not the place to go to cheat on your diet with satisfying carbs. The tiramisu was good.

The food was amazing, service was fast, the ambiance of the room felt like home and the setup isn't cramped. Overall I'd definitely suggest this place for a first date or for a late bite.

Pizza is great, doubts on the rest of the menu. Pleasant restaurant, great location. Two blocks from my house, so it is high on convenience.*+

Had a wonderfully quiet lunch with a colleague here! The restaurant was clean, breezy, and the staff was pleasant.I really enjoyed everything I had. While they didn't have a large selection of wine, they had basic reds and whites and the Pinot Grigio was delightful.We shared the bruschetta, a chicken Caesar salad, and fettuccine Alfredo. It was all just so good! Definitely worth stopping by.

Food was okay, I could make better pasta myself honestly but still passable. What annoyed me was that they force you to tip (additional 15% in the final check) even though you have to go get the food yourself and order at the cashier desk. Who am I tipping and for what service?

Wonderful server, generous portions, and clean restaurant! They have both outdoor and indoor seating and it's very cute. The server was very nice. Their focaccia is made in-house and super fresh. Highly recommend this place!

Some flies in the shop. It was quiet (perhaps because it was summer holidays). Pasta nice. But I got a tummy ache half an hour after leaving the restaurant.

Found my new spot. Only been here twice but once I found my chef from pasta pomodoro I will forever live here in my heart. There are certain dishes from this chef that I’ll keep secret because I want to make sure it’s still available when I come to order. The chef is a true Italian noodle twister. He’s been my go to for years. Can’t wait to try everything on the menu

Fettuccini alfredo with chicken and broccoli was delicious. The tortellini was also good. The dust is very friendly, prices reasonable and the portions are good sized. Would recommend!

We looked for a restaurant that was open and opted for here. Thankfully it was a close walk because street parking can be a challenge. Staff were friendly and prices reasonable. It's got a cafe feel without expectations of ambiance. Food was okay but does not compare to other Italian restaurants I've been to. My chicken piccata was so so, but again, price was reasonable. I'm just not feeling a return trip.

simple, cheap(ish), and delicious. They have great $10 lunch specials and Ive enjoyed eating here many times. Not a suoer fancy, super expensive place, so wouldnt choose as a posh date place, rather for a good affordable Italian meal.
