If I could give this place six stars out of five, I would. Everything about this place is immaculate. Let’s start with the food. The Whipped Ricotta Crostini is amazing—absolutely delicious mix of whipped cheese and honey on bread. The Arancini di Funghi are like these cheesy mushroom ricotta balls and they’re equally delicious. For my pasta I had the Mezzi Rigatoni and man that is some great pasta with sausage. So the food? Already perfect. But the service?? Somehow even...
What a wonderful little spot this is! The food is always fantastic, the best rigatoni I've ever had! The staff is always so accommodating. The bartenders take great care of you and always look out to make sure you'll find someplace to sit. Can't say enough about this place. Don't miss out, sit at the bar eat an incredible meal and have a fantastic mock or cocktail!
“How good could this place possibly be? It’s just pasta,” was my exact thought when my partner suggested we try it. Turns out, it was one of the most incredible dining experiences I’ve had.
The service was exceptional—thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely personalized. They noticed that my partner and I like to share our food, so when our pasta arrived, they placed the dishes in the center and brought us smaller plates to share from. What really impressed...
