Highly recommend dining in the back porch. The atmosphere and vibe back there is really warm and welcoming. When we went there was a live acoustic music by Lexi and she was great and really added to the atmosphere. The dishes are a little pricey considering the portion size but where they lack in size they make up in flavor. And you can’t go wrong with unlimited garlic bread! Shoutout to the owner Carlos!

It was little while ago but I just want to write that my partner and I had a great experience here. We ordered seafood risotto and pesto gnocchi,and it was BUONO! Great potion too. The deserts were good too and Sangria pitcher was ok. Anyway, we had great time sitting outside and listening to the lovely accordion play. Nice staff too. Will go back soon.

Where do I even begin? This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had.
Parking is horrendous. It’s all street parking in a crowded area. Be ready to circle endlessly and walk several blocks just to get there.
The restaurant is tiny and cramped. Only one restroom with a single toilet, and there was urine on the floor. Absolutely disgusting.
Service was totally nonexistent. Staff only showed up to take our order, drop off food, and eventually — after we had to flag someone down — bring the check. The rest of the time, we were invisible. We had to wave and shout multiple times just to get water refills, check on missing dishes, or correct the wrong check they initially gave us because it was for another table.
Food timing was atrocious. One person in our group waited nearly an hour for her entree, which was just roasted vegetables, after everyone else had been served. No communication, no apology, just silence while we sat there baffled.
Prices are ridiculous for their small portions. Nearly $7 for a sad excuse of an espresso — not even a full shot. Then they hit you with an automatic 20% gratuity for service that honestly deserves zero.
And the final slap in the face? They gave the impression that the bread was complimentary, like any normal restaurant, but nope! They charged us $2 per basket.
Food was fine, but even the best-tasting food can’t redeem an experience this awful.
Bottom line, this place is a joke. A pretentious, overpriced mess with bottom-tier service and shady pricing practices. Don’t waste your time, your money, or your patience.

Went to this restaurant and really debated on giving this place a review. But after careful reflection, I think potential patrons should really know how this place is because I was fooled.
Starting with the good: the place looks nice and has a nice ambiance. It has a vintage-esque feel to it, and the patio space is nice. Service wasn’t necessarily bad but wasn’t good. Our server was pretty young and inexperienced, but tried to be helpful where he could so we gave him a lot of grace. Lastly, the bread is good.
The Bad: the main dishes aren’t good. It’s not atrociously bad but it’s just not good. I ordered the Papa Tony which seemed like they sliced up some regular sausages, broccoli florets (menu said broccolini but it wasn’t) and threw it into a pasta dish? It didn’t look appetizing, didn’t really have much flavor, and the entire dish didn’t make any sense. My sister ordered the lasagna which was drowning in sauce and had barely any meat and cheese. We didn’t even finish our food because, to be frank, it really wasn’t worth finishing.
Final thoughts: would I give this place another chance? No. Would I recommend this place? No. Would I call this place an Italian restaurant? It is inspired by one, but I would actually say it’s pretty disrespectful to call it one. They really need to re-evaluate their recipes because their ingredients, the taste, and presentation are very subpar.

Each time I have eaten there, service and food have been incredible. Fish to pasta

Terrible Mother’s Day experience — rude and discriminatory service
We came here hoping to enjoy a nice Mother’s Day dinner, but it was a complete disappointment. We ordered extra drinks that never arrived, and the hostess/waitress gave us the fakest smile while treating other (American) customers much more warmly and kindly. The difference was very noticeable and upsetting.
The worst part: my young son-in-law, who kindly invited us, went to pay the $200 bill while I planned to leave the tip in cash. The server rudely confronted him, saying, “How can you not leave a tip?” and that 15% was the minimum. He embarrassed him in front of everyone, making him feel completely humiliated.
This place made us feel unwelcome and disrespected. I truly hope the owners see this review and take real steps to address the racism and lack of professionalism. No one should feel this way when trying to celebrate something special.

Incredibly wonderful staff and a fantastic place for dinner. Between atmosphere, food and service i couldn't recommend this place any more. You must go!

Great Italian food. The menu had a lot of tempting options. The wine list is long with all the classics including spumante. Service is pretty good and the waiter is knowledgeable. The restaurant has a very European feel... Very welcoming. We went on a Saturday night and there was a live musician. The music was soft and low allowing my date and I to talk at a comfortable level. I'll definitely be returning.

My first impression of this place walking in was a pleasant one. That's where it ends. I had the lasagna and my gf ordered the black pepper pasta made in the Parmesan wheel which was $45 dollars btw. My dish was mushy and extremely underwhelming. Her's was down right disappointing. Too much oil, pasta was mushy and overdone and was damn near cold. I think I saw my server when he took my order and that's it. He magically appeared when I was ready to leave and gave me the bill then vanished almost into thin air. I really want to like this place and it has a lot of potential but it's just not quite there yet. I'd go elsewhere.
The service is great and the food is amazing you have to try this place out.

The food was exceptional, with delicious flavors and perfectly paired wine. The welcoming ambiance added to the experience. The only downside was that service felt a bit slow due to being short-staffed, but overall, the meal was fantastic.

Magnifico! Very Italian, very delicious, great ambiance, waiters making tableside Alfredo in half a wheel of Parmigiano regiano, and a hot sax player.
