Everything was amazing! The service was welcoming and friendly, with servers who made sure you got what you needed. The atmosphere was cozy with an aesthetically pleasing interior. The food was in great amounts. I absolutely recommend if you want to celebrate with a partner or friend.

We made our reservation through the Resy app, and my husband noted it was my birthday in the booking.
We arrived right when the restaurant opened, and the hostess greeted us warmly and showed us to our table. Our server promptly brought water and explained the day’s menu.
We ordered the spaghetti bolognese, mushroom risotto, caprese classic, and four seasons pizza. Everything was delicious and satisfying—the pizza had a thin, crispy crust with fresh toppings, while the risotto and pasta were both flavorful. The house bread was served warm and fresh, and dipping it into the olive oil was a treat.
For my birthday, they kindly served me a complimentary soda. After our meal, they surprised me with a gelato topped with a candle and even took a Polaroid photo of us, which they gifted to us right away. Such a thoughtful touch that made the evening extra special!
Parking is available on the street and in nearby public lots.
Overall, a wonderful dining experience with excellent food and warm hospitality. Definitely a place we’d love to come back to.

This unfortunately a rather mid experience. The pizza was disappointing. I've had pizza in multiple trips in NYC, in Italy (where my spouse lived), and across country/city/world and the version of pizza was definitely below average. It was presented like a flatbread, and frankly your average Chili's or BJ's does better. The crust really let down the whole dish. I was expecting more, especially considering the price. The pasta came with a mixup, with a protein added that was not ordered (an allergenic one at that). It was either a service or kitchen problem (some signs of pasta mixing as well, perhaps in the rush to send out the plates). On the plus side, the appetizer was great, the portions were large and service was generally good. But we won't be back as there are much better pizzas to be found, and at a lower price. The pasta was not terrible but was just average. We likely won't be back for dinner but maybe would agree to a happy hour.

The staff were the highlight of the evening — the host was warm, the server was kind and efficient, and the free limoncello at the end was a thoughtful touch. The interior was bright and charming, with hanging plants and cozy tables that gave the feeling of a courtyard, even though we were inside.
Unfortunately, the food and drinks didn’t live up to the setting. The French 75 was one of the worst I’ve ever had. More like a house lemonade with a splash of prosecco than an actual cocktail. The house focaccia was appreciated but overly dense, while the fries were standard. The bruschetta, however, was nearly inedible: watery tomatoes and balsamic that tasted rancid.
For mains, the pizza Calabrese was essentially a standard pepperoni pizza, and the pasta arrabbiata special was a true disappointment. Pairing blue cheese with tomato sauce and sausage on pappardelle (they were out of bucatini) created a clash of high-acid flavors that was unpleasant and confusing. It felt more like a chain restaurant experiment gone wrong than a neighborhood Italian dish.
Dessert saved the meal somewhat — the tiramisu leaned heavily on custard, but it was still delicious.
For $100, the night felt like a waste, though I do want to emphasize that the staff were wonderful. With better execution in the kitchen and bar, this place could really shine.
Went here with my wife to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful experience. The food and service were excellent. We ordered pizza and pasta, and both were fantastic.
The only small disappointment was that the bacon and Brussels sprouts special, which was absolutely delicious, is not a permanent item on the menu. I would love to see it added because it is something we would order again and again.

I called to make a reservation (Tuesday evening) I was put on hold for 20min and no one came back. I came in shortly after and had a 20min wait. We ordered a calamari appetizer, I was not a fan for the breading/batter as it was grainy and tasteless. I asked for s spicy sauce and specifically requested the spicy chutney which came with a $3 cost for about a tbs of sauce. The corkage fee is $25. The penne vodka was fine, pasta is not made in house. Really quite mediocre and nothing special about this place. I will not be back as the food was nothing impressive, the service needs improvement, and the cost is quite expensive for what was received. Paid over $100 for 2 people.

The food was okay, and the ambience was nice, but the service was very disappointing. Our waiter went on a break and left us completely unattended, and no other server stepped in to check on us. When we finally asked for the check, we had to wait a long time before it arrived. Overall, the poor service really took away from the experience.

Let me start off by saying the staff here are extremely friendly and the service is top notch. The atmosphere is great and the food was fantastic. All the ingredients were fresh and extremely flavorful. I never wanted to give a restaurant a 5 star so bad but unfortunately per the ownerships policy they don't let you make any changes to your order and that's the only reason they're getting a 4-star instead of a 5 star. Note to ownership if I come back and that policy has been changed, I will change this to a 5 star review.

The Service was absolutely amazing along with the food and drinks. Don’t get me started on the amazing delicious dessert they have at the end of the meal. My first time here and it definitely won’t be my last the atmosphere was also a 10/10,
You must try it again.

Wow I am actually so shocked at just how BAD the food is. We ordered the verde salad - the dressing tastes like teriyaki sauced so gross, and the Parmesan was so bad. Our other appetizer was the steak skewers; those tasted overly seasoned. But the worst of all were the actual dinner plates- the bolognese was a disaster. Not only did the bolognese look bad, it tasted worse. Almost like medicine. The pizza I got was the chicken, pepper and pineapple pizza. The chicken was so dry and unseasoned and the flavor of the pizza itself was just so bland. We waited an hour for a table and when we finally got to try it, it was not worth the wait. I’m so disappointed!

Reservation for 515 got seated promptly. Many tables available so not too busy.
Ordered calamari for an appetizer and salads to start. They brought appetizers and salads at the same time so that was bad planning.
Once they saw we were done with our appetizers they brought the entrees, strike 2 . We asked our waiter to please let us finish with our salads , so he gave us a look of I just work here. 3 strike they removed our salad plates and we sat there waiting and waiting for the entrees and finally we had to let the waitress know we were waiting for the entrees and took another 10 minutes to deliver them. The food was mediocre at best. This is not good food. I felt I was eating dennys when I was 8 years old. Terrible and no apologies for the mix up. Just another flash in the pan restaurant. We felt very rushed!
