Too loud and casual. Food mediocre had to return dish. Waiter too busy to handle multiple tabes. Although received complementary wine and food plate exchange, it ruined the experience for our first time at this establishment.

Food and service were excellent. Our waiter answered questions regarding meal options with knowledge and past experience. The open kitchen was a cool feel to view during dinner. I would recommend making a reservation.

Absolutely must dine here!! The food and service was amazing!! We had several in our party who had food intolerances which they graciously accommodated, but we did recommend that they use pastas imported from Italy to avoid some of this. Also their GF noodles are made from corn and rice flours and we suggested to expand their GF noodles to non-corn flour. Other than that the food was beautiful and creative and tasted absolutely delicious!

The food was honestly terrible. We had the carbonara and the orchiette and both were so bland, and the sauce was so watery.

Opentable Diner

Service is great. Sweet, attentive staff. The environment (for lunch) felt vacuous and unelegant. One could hear the hum of equipment. The food was okay/fine. Nothing has bad but the caliber was comparable to a fast casual restaurant and not a high end/high price brand.

My wife and I came for brunch a second time. The food is always very good, and the brunch cocktails are good, but the service is slow. My wife had the avocado toast, which is great. It is the only place that we've been where they serve the eggs hard boiled crumbled over the avocado, which is a nice way to do it. I had the Uovo All'Ortolana, which is poached eggs with vegetable ratatouille and a cheese sauce. It was also very tasty, though the eggs had a hard yolk. On the service, there are just a few waitstaff who take orders, and both times it has taken awhile for anyone to even take an order for coffee or a cocktail. There are a lot of busboys filling water and clearing plates, but this was the second time we weren't offered a refill on coffee. Overall we'll definitely be back, but not anytime we are in any kind of rush.

Food was beyond amazing, the wait staff were friendly, professional, and fast. Drinks were perfect, including an excellently chilled glass for the martinis. We will 100% return with more friends.

Food was delicious! Great space too. Service was a bit slow, drinks took a while, but other than that, wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Nice location, polite staff, they accommodated my request for a less noisy space but overall level of noise was noticeable. Food quality was good.

A bit average on my visit. Just popped in for a light lunch - had a salad and glass of wine. Salad was fine, with good ingredients and nice balance of flavours - but tomatoes far too cold robbing them of much flavour. Sav Blanc from northern Italy lovely. Tiramisu very average - slightly dry biscuits (recently back from a two week holiday in Fruili and Venezia so have a good sample size to judge against!).

Service a bit random - engaging and effective maitre d’; perfunctory waiter.

Other dishes I could see also looked at least competent; nothing that would make be choose to go back, but wouldn’t object to going again either.

Had good bruschetta starter, and ordered rigatoni pomodoro, and spaghetti carbonara. Rigatoni was simple and tasty, the pasta was on point. The carbonara however was a disappoinment, the sauce being more buttery than yolky and cheesy. The spaghetti was slightly well done, normally with a good sauce would not have been that big of an issue. But with the sauce tasting butter, and the pasta slightly off, it was an overall half eaten disappointment - a real sorry as all the rest was good - sometimes it happens.

The food was really basic and wasn’t what we expected for an Italian night out. The check came in at an astronomical price, we believe it was unreasonable for the taste and quality of the food. The check already came with a 20% tip, you weren’t able to decide the amount. I wouldn’t recommend going to this restaurant.
