One member of our family is in the restaurant industry of the highest order so our eye is more discerning than most. Although our server was very nice, food/drink delivery was uneven with various people delivering various things. The main server needs to take charge of the table and coordinate accordingly. A salad was delivered before the drink order. Their system is to have the bar deliver the drinks, it took a while. You really want that drink before any food arrives and it should be the server who makes sure that happens. A bit after the salad an app was delivered very quickly followed by an entree, too quickly. Then a second entree then a little later the third entree. The salad and app should have been delivered together at the appropriate time after drinks. The entrees should have been delivered together. We are of Italian descent and would expect somewhat larger portion sizes, the bowls/portions did not feel Italian. When in competition with the family style of Magiannos and Bucca de Beppo you’re going to suffer by comparison. We thought the food was tasty and overall quality good. The Tiramisu excellent.If the main question is whether we’d return, the answer would be no for the reasons stated. Some organizational tweaking is needed to make it more of a complete professional experience.

Ordert Pick-Up over an hour before going to get it and still had to wait over half an hour at the location, before I got my food. Ridiculous.

I hosted my boyfriends birthday party there recently - there were a lot of us, but the staff did everything in their power to keep us all at the same table and make sure everything was going smoothly. Zach is who took care of us and was INCREDIBLE, especially for having to handle all of us on his own. He was consistently checking in, making things easy so we could have fun and not stress. All in all a great place for a quieter dinner or for bigger groups. Highly recommend!

Great food, service atmosphere.Spicy rigatoni vodka has a great sauce and sausage they use for it was great enough.Bolognese has strong meat flavor, which I love it and all the pasta were perfectly cooked as al dente.Their meatball was so great the sauce, and creamy polenta was a shock for me, I've never seen but it goes really well.All the servers and host greeted me nicely and it seems the servers are professionals and explained the menu really well.Definitely recommend this place!.

This is an absolutely beautiful place and amazing food, we sat inside but there is an option to sit outside. Inside you can see the kitchen through glass walls and all the staff were so friendly. Try anything on the menu and you will not be disappointed, also have dessert!!

We like the large space, especially on days when it's not too crowded and easier on the ears. Excellent service and delicious food - try mushroom pasta, branzino, aragula/avocado salad with salmon, and indulge in caramel budino for dessert. Excellent Pinot Grigio and impressive list of other wines and cocktails. Well done, will be back!

Writing this as I sit here because of how awesome the experience was here. Porchetta was mind blowing and I can’t recommend it enough. Mushroom pizza and arugula salad was solid. Chocolate cake was heavenly and service was fantastic.

We’ve been to a few different North Italias and this one definitely stood out. Our waiter was great, the food was excellent we always, and the outside patio made it feel warm and cozy.
