“Came here for a gf’s birthday dinner—packed house for a Saturday night. Has a very energetic vibe—a bit too loud for my preference. Service was great—our server Miguel was friendly, helpful and attentive!

Overall food was good. For appetizers, we got the Suppli Al Telefono (risotto fritters), Fiore di Zucca (crispy fried zucchini) and Pulpo (octopus). For pastas, would recommend the Rigatoni and Spaghetti, the Ravioli was okay—portions seemed on the smaller side. The Maiale (pork chop) was well flavored and huge portion. The Patate (oven roasted potatoes) were really good!

Birthday girl got a small complimentary “rose”dessert with a candle, was super cute! Dessert wise, we tried the Baba Al Rhum (rum-soaked sweet brioche), it was just okay.“

“I got the spinach and cheese pizza and I can tell you this is the best pizza I have ever eaten! If you are a fan of thin crust, go enjoy! I am from out of state and plan to order a whole pizza to take back home. I also ordered the meatball sub which paled in comparison, but was also good.“

Everything was delicious and the servings were very generous. We were extremely pleased.“

“The salad at $8.50 was overpriced. It had a quarter of a tomato, just a few onions, and hardly any other veggies. The bread was tasteless. It was served cold and the crust was too soft. The main course of linguine and clams was fine. The service was a little slow.“
