We had a wonderful experience! Sat at the bar and had the Shrimp scampi and white bean hummus appetizers, which were great. The happy hour super Tuscan is a great red. The chicken Parm is super tasty and the Shishido peppers are a great side. Only disappointment was the meatball appetizer which was flat. Special shout out to Justin at the bar. He's great!

Very competent Italian food. Decent wine list. Friendly service.

The bartender is awesome, the food is decent seems fresh, but small portions and very pricey. For the price I think it would be super tasty and authentic but I don't think it's always worth it. Always spend a lot of money there. But I like the bartender and it's not bad just not equitable for the price but if money is no object....

The service was good and our entrees came out so fast that we hadn't even gotten to our appetizers. The offerings are pretty typical Italian with a emphasis on classic pastas. The Chitarra Fra Diavolo - pasta with shrimp - was quite good, although the menu said it was spicy shrimp and I really didn't get very much heat. The garlic bread was also good, although we had asked for just the plain bread, so that was a little odd. The pappardelle dish was very nice. Unfortunately, they did not have the Italian Macedonia for dessert, which was disappointing because it sounded so good, but the vanilla and peach swirled gelato was great. Overall, a lovely restaurant with good service.

The service was good but the food was tasteless. I had to order more cheese to give it a taste of something. Pricy for what it is, we ordered and the food was ready in 7 minutes, it look like preheated in the microwave.

We had a truly lovely evening at this restaurant, and it’s definitely worth a visit. From the start, the drinks were spot on and the bread with oil was just perfect for nibbling. We tasted a range of dishes, from seafood pasta to a rich bolognese and some absolutely delicious truffle ravioli. Even the kids’ menu was a hit, which is always a win.

The atmosphere really stands out, it’s beautiful, quiet, and has this charming old-school Italian decor that makes you feel right at home. Seating is comfortable and cozy, though I will say parking can be a bit tricky, so plan a little extra time for that. Overall, it’s a delightful spot for a family dinner or a special night out.

Mediocre performance from one of my favorite Italian restaurants in town. The portions were extra small, between 2-3 oz of pasta in one plate, the sauce appeared hastily prepared and it wasn’t creamy; it was grainy and disintegrating. One tiny, and not al dente, paccheri carbonara was $30! Extremely expensive for the quality (and quantity) of the food they serve; 3 people - 3 bowls of pasta, one beer, one deviled eggs, one portion of bread and one chocolate cake to share - with the tip - $190!

Nice busy restaurant but noisy. Luckily we were moved to a room just off of the entrance so easier to talk as a group. I had the Mafalde Telefono which I just searched speaks to the noodles which I had never had before being a long continuous pasta like an old telephone cord. It was good. The server said there was one other purely vegetarian version the san leo. Service was good and parking is available on the street.

Went on a Sunday night at 5 o’clock. We had reservations, but the restaurant was pretty quiet. We ordered linguine with clam sauce, Hamachi Crudo, cacio e pepe , ravioli, tiramisu, and the Italian bread with ricotta. all of it was pretty good. I wasn’t crazy about the Hamachi, but my daughter liked it. Customer service was fabulous.

Top notch Italian food. I enjoyed my experience here as well the food and ambiance. The indoor outdoor patio is a nice place to sit. Even on a warmer day it's pretty cool in there creating a very pleasant dining experience. The menu is pretty large with plenty of things to choose from and my service was good.

Phenomenal waitstaff. My wife and I stopped in, with no reservations and were seated immediately(on a Saturday evening)Everyone we encounter gave us such a warm welcoming. The calamari dish is my favorite! It’s bursting with flavor! The garlic bread is delicious and large enough to share between two or three. Many desserts to pick from as well. My personal favorite is the tiramisu.
