Food was good and service was great. All good until man walked in with his non service dog. Led them to a table upstairs by the counter. Passing all tables on the way. Then the dog sat in the chair beside the owner entire time.

Ordered Uber eats. Add on for meatballs was $10 and got 2 cold inside meatballs. Ravioli and garlic bread were ok flavor wise but the bread was smashed into the container and the crispy cheese had broken off many of the pieces. Arancinis were smaller than the pictures showed and had a rubber texture to them.

Also, no utensils or napkins.

Service was wonderfully attentive. Food may be exquisite, but if service isn't it can minimize the entire experience. Thanks to Cristian and the entire staff for making my first (of many) visits delightful. And the food was exquisite. Our group enjoyed the caprese and fritto mixto to start, and the branzino, ravioli, tagliarini and octopus for entrees. Cocktails were good, but not remarkable.

Def not authentic, cold bread, subpar flavor (I had the bucatini). You have to ask for fresh pepper (she handed me a salt and pepper shaker lol).
