My husband and I had the most wonderful date night Saturday!! The manager Brian was very helpful as it was quite hectic, but he managed to help us find space at the bar to wait for a table. Claudia made us the most delicious espresso martini I’ve ever had I highly recommend!! Once sat, we were taken care of by Emma who was just a joy! She was so kind and made our first time here an incredible experience! She recommended their signature chicken cardinale and their special amatriciana. Both tasted like they were flown in straight from Italy!!
It was nice hearing that so much of their staff have been there for many years, it truly speaks volumes of what kind of place this is beyond the customer experience. We can’t wait to come back very soon!

Unfortunately I had a pretty bad dinner here on Friday night. The service was really slow and the food was mediocre. We were there for over two hours for only a main dish and a dessert. Consistently had to get the server’s attention. When my boyfriend asked him about the beer selection, the server’s response included the fact he didn’t drink. Perfectly fine as I don’t either but shouldn’t a server know a little bit about the products being serving; it just felt like we were bothering him at his job the whole night.

Enjoyed tasty food and drinks on a Sunday evening! There was no wait and the restaurant was about half full. Our table had the meatball sliders as an appetizer, shrimp and crab rose’ pasta, and shrimp pesto. The sliders were big and cooked perfectly, the rose’ pasta was light but a good portion size, and the shrimp pesto was rich and decadent. We also had the 3 cannolis for dessert and they were a good size and tasted amazing! Ambiance is not a wow, but the food is of great quality, prepared extremely well, and there are plenty of flavor combinations that are craveable. Highly recommend checking out for a casual dinner date night, whether solo or with a partner.

Been here a few times and have really enjoyed it each time. I believe the first time I got the Sausage and Peppers. Very tasty and made me want to keep coming back. This last time I shared the Seafood Mediterranean special, the Ravioli Rose, and the Wild Mushroom Gnocchi. The Seafood Mediterranean was awesome and something I would get every time I'm here if it's available. The ravioli was delicious but very rich. The gnocchi was good, but I will try the bolognese version next time. Service is always very friendly here and I like the chill vibe. Tons of open tables at 5:30 when I showed up on a Friday night, but it was hopping when we left.

Food was good, not really spectacular but a very decent meal. I had the lasagna and it was, I know it sounds crazy, overly cheesy. I had it with the Bolognese meat sauce and it was still a lot of cheese. I would return to try other things if I was in the area. Drinks were decent as well, but it's tough to screw up a Manhattan. I would recommend.

Good food and great service. Enjoyed the drink selection, salad, and pasta options. Tried the goat cheese and walnut salad recently and the
chicken cardinale a few months ago. The dessert (tiramisu) was good as well. Claudia at the bar was attentive and friendly. Always enjoy coming here when in the area.
