In general I rarely review, and this is the first bad review I've ever given. The manager at the tasting kitchen is a disgrace to the hospitality industry. He is rude, has a massive ego, and has absolutely no consideration for the customer.

This one of those restaurants that is so good me adding my two cents feels redundant. But folks lemme tell you, WOW! I had the puffed gnooc, the shrimp pasta and the nebiola. The appetizer was freshly made, a light fluffy pastry textured almost filo airy but thick to the mouth, in house cured meats and freshly made mozzarella buttered clouds... The pasta perfectly to the teeth, the sauce rich and satisfying with a creamy but not overwhelming as if each strains of pasto was coated 1by1. Bit spendy but you get what you pay for... I was here on Monday and back on Tuesday, thanks Josh for your suggestions and those scallops are memorable,!

We showed up for our dinner reservation and the restaurant was closed with a handwritten sign on the door saying they were closed for the day for repairs. We did not receive any notification from the restaurant in any fashion - No email no call no text no message through open table. We messaged them asking why we hadn't been informed of the closure and they had said there was a fire the night before and that we're sorry they hadn't reached out sooner (they technically did not reach out, we did). I do have sympathy for them, there was a fire and that I am sure was a stressful situation. However, by not taking the time to reach out to us and let us know they were closed, highlights their lack of empathy towards their guests, or lack of organization, or that they are understaffed, or some characteristic that would make a dining experience poor.

Absolute rubbish. Used to be very good. Staff clearly extremely untrained. Kitchen is a mess. Restaurant is dirty. They need new management - so disappointing. Ordered spaghetti pomodoro, and 2 egg dishes and one flat white. Restaurant had maybe 5 tables seated and tons of staff wandering around. 35 minutes later got one macchiato? And one disgusting salty butter pasta that was inedible. No one comes to check for 5 mins so I take the pasta to a server to have the order corrected. 30 mins later the server comes over and says that spaghetti will be right out - is there anything else I can get you? Yes! Where is the rest of our food???? Oh.... Um let me go check. 15 minutes later no food, we walked out.
Loved the vibe, our server was attentive and the food was great. Highly recommend the bolognese. Shout out to their table bussing staff, so attentive on clearing dishes between meals and providing new silverware, they brought my rating from a 4 start to a 5.

Ordered the raddichio salad - barely any dressing. The mussels were delicious. The mushroom papperdelle pasta came with bacon which didn't mesh well. The bolognese papperdelle was too rich and barely had any sauce and was very salty. Very overpriced and not worth your money for the quality.
Literally the best!!! Had been there a few times and the shrimp pasta and the seasonal menu is so good and fresh. Went there for my birthday this week and our waiter Oscar was so kind and new lots about the food! The desserts are always so amazing make sure to try one!

Matt, our server was amazing! The meal was divine!, we felt the portions were a little small. Left us wanting more! Fresh pasta, house made bread, and the hazelnut chocolate olive oil cake. We will definitely be back.

We opted for the Chef’s Menu. It was five courses with two dishes in each course. Every course was better than the previous. And the dessert?. Staff were all very attentive and kind. This place is such a good deal for the location and amount of food

It was super disappointing service. We didn't get our water or drinks or food for a long time. For the price of this place, it was very inefficient and I wouldn't go again.
The tasting kitchen definitely upped their game in the food category. Loved the Sea Bass, Bucatini, pork loin. Service was not great, however. It seemed like they had only one person manning the whole upper floor and he was just too busy to check in. Would have loved to order dessert but he never came around so we got the check.

Went on NYE's dinner after making a reservation!we were seated 45mins later and our food took almost double that time to arrive. Most of the dishes were below avg and got to us cold! I asked for some parmesan cheese and I never got it!And they forgot about the nonalcoholic drinks they offered and with no follow up to that ! I also had a special request on my reservation which was totally skipped!Absolutely not recommended!

Great food with warm service and attention to detail. Would be a five star review if our party had more spacious accommodations. Unfortunately, we had a large group but they managed a wonderful culinary experience nonetheless.

Six of us met up for a birthday. The food was great and the wine pairing recommendations were excellent. I thought we had ordered 3 different bottles of wine but apparently our server poured us a 4th given we were enjoying one of them so much. Still worth it.
LOVED The Tasting Kitchen! Great Ambiance. Our server was absolutely amazing. The chef removed the sage/brown butter ravioli from the menu the night before which was a bit disappointing BUT the server explained that it happens because they source local fresh ingredients (a big plus). The pasta bolognese was quite possibly the best I've ever had which prompts the question: What ravioli??? She also recommended a starter (prosciutto, puff-bread and burrata, delicious) and provided three wine recommendations from the sommelier both of which were fabulous. My scallops were cooked perfectly as was my companions flat iron steak. I cannot say enough good things about this delightful restaurant.
