We went before going to the Shubert. Meatballs were cold, eggplant too fried, no flavor. Garlic bread was not good. We ordered the Cacio e pepe.... Also not hot, WAY too much pepper and pasta was not al dente. Waitress said it was hot when she picked it up?!?! We got a glass of Chardonnay, it tasted like watered down sparkling Pinot Grigio and was not drinkable. We will not go back.
Great place! Food was great, service as well. They asked if we were going to the show after dinner & got us there in plenty of time.
Terrible wine list; feature on tap wine which sounds like boxed wine-yuck. Small mixed drinks. Ordered some unknown cab which they were out of , so manager sent over what he referred to as “ a sexy” wine as a replacement, for $20 less. It was horrible. Probably a $9.99 bottle of wine. Food was average. No decaf-They never order it. Weird place. Will not go back.
We stopped in after a show and were immediately seated without reservations. The restaurant was nicely decorated for the holidays. We ate at one of their booths, but they had high top tables and bar seating as well. I started with the butternut squash soup which was the best part of my meal. I really enjoyed of, especially with the day being so cold. For my entree I had the steak with garlic butter which was cooked at a perfect medium rare. My girlfriend had the branzino which was a very large portion. She enjoyed it. Overall we enjoyed or meal.
Delicious!!!! Fun to be downtown in a wonderful location! The service is outstanding and the food is just terrific!!!!
There was nothing not to like. Our server Zach was attentive and informative without being overbearing. Knew the menu well and provided some great suggestions to meet our wants. The homemade pasta dishes were AMAZING. We just returned from Italy and the dishes served here were just as good, if not better on 2 of the 4!!! The chocolate cake for desert was divine. We will certainly put this on our list to return to.
Zach or Zack was our bartender. Made my girlfriend the best Hugo spritz this earth has touched. She didn’t ask me to do the dishes when we got home! Hands down phenomenal service and even better conversation. Thank you Zach or Zack for a memorable time. We’ll be back

Food was delicious and got to us pretty quickly. We did get our food before our drinks. The staff was so nice and gave us a card for our anniversary.
Zach is amazing. 10/10, best employee and bartender I have ever encountered. I love him!

All I have to say is Unbelievable food, visited from New York and I was overly impressed. Calamari was cooked perfect , eggplant chips were top notch and the chicken bites out of this world. Jake my bartender made my wife a espresso martini that she loved.
