Great neighborhood gem. Fine Italian food in a romantic setting. Portion is on the smaller side but tasty.

The food was simple but very delicious. The service was amazing. I will definitely return for brunch.

The restaurant is beautiful, however we ordered pasta and the portion was very small and the flavor was underwhelming.

We arrived a few minutes early and were promptly seated. The service was friendly and professional and the ambiance was good. The funghi antipasti was excellent and the focaccia was light and fluffy. Maybe we caught the kitchen on a bad night but the 3 different entrees and a dessert were meh.

We've been here a few times. Always good food and great service. One thing that stood out this last visit was the Bone Marrow. Was an awesome presentation but the amount of actual marrrow was lacking. I guess we were paying for the presentation :-) We also started out with some Focaccia & Prosciutto - always fan favorites for our family. Entrees were all very good, Duck Lasagna and the Carbonara were the top choices for the table! Thanks Marisi!

My girlfriend and I were excited to come here for date night, but were let down overall. It started off great as the hostess was able to seat us right away despite coming about 30 minutes early for our reservation. The restaurant itself was beautiful and the overall ambiance was great. However, none of the food tasted particularly great given the high prices. We started off with the bone marrow which looked very impressive due to its size, but barely had anything in the bone. My girlfriend ordered the crab pasta which was okay, and it came with only a handful of pieces. She was still hungry so we ordered the carbona which was one of the worst carbonaras that I have ever had. The pork was burnt, the noodles were very thick and starchy, and there was not much flavor. I ordered the seasonal special which was the ossobuco. I never had it before and looking it up online it looked very promising. The dish was overall disappointing. The meat was tender but flavorless and the parmesan polenta that came with it was way too cheesy and it pretty much tasted like I was eating spoonfuls of melted parmesan cheese. I only ate half of it and I was done. We paid over $200 for dinner and that was without cocktails and dessert. An overall disappointing experience.

First time there after a 9 day trip to Italy. Very good representation of the Tuscany cuisine.

Sharing is the way to go here. We ordered three appetizers and the Gem salad. All were awesome.

Let me start by saying that the support staff was amazing. The attention to detail was quite impressive. Maya was a delight, both attentive and engaging. Our main waiter wasn't seen much but there were so many others bringing food, clearing plates, filling water and making perfect table settings that it didn't detract from the experience. Having said that, without the support team, this would be a different review. The food: Roman artichoke (with some wonderfully fresh pesto), spicy rigatoni and carbonara were delicious. This may be controversial, but the portion sizes were appropriate. We enjoyed that the serving was enough for one and not some obnoxious amount of food that no one should eat in one seating. Ambience was lovely. We sat in the enclosed outdoor space which was perfect for the cool but not cold evening. Indoor noise was loud but the patio was airy and less noisy. They do have a street side patio but it seemed a bit too cold out for that. All in all a great experience.

I was very excited to check this place out because I heard amazing reviews! The food was okay, I ordered the spicy rigatoni and the carbonara. It tasted good but the noodles weren't cooked well enough and they were hard. The price was a bit on the high end for the portion size. Overall, the staff were great in taking care of us and the atmosphere was nice.
Food was very below average. My gnocchetti and carbonara were undercooked, and the first thing the carbonaras taste reminded me of was Kraft Mac and Cheese. The place is beautiful, vibes were great, food needs an overhaul.

Remains on our restaurant rotation, but may have slipped recently. We miss the lemon curd which was discontinued last year.
Morgan

Our reservation was at 6:45 PM, but the food didn't arrive until around 8:30 PM. Our server, Danielle was kind, helpful, and made sure everything went smoothly. I had planned a surprise for my fiancé, and she was very supportive with that. The food itself was okay (6/10), and the ambiance was lovely. However, the service was very slow, so if you have plans after dinner, make sure to allow extra time, or you might be late for your next activity.

Great service. Food quality has gone down over the last year. Not worth it for the price anymore. Pesto pasta tasted store bought. Same with the arrabiatta pasta. The cocktails were good. Focaccia was the highlight.
