The wine by the glass selection is lackluster. The bartender was pretty inattentive, especially since I was the only patron at the bar. The rigatoni in the bolognese seemed under-done and was gummy. The bolognese sauce was soppy. A piece of bread or bread stick would have been appropriate to sop up the sauce. The pizza seems to be good, however.

Nothing to write home about. For the price overhyped. Food is 4/5. But this is not a great Italian place. The restaurant design is amazing. Servers are decent. But food - well, for the money you pay, I would probably pick another place.

We got the beet salad and the pistachio pizza, and both were delicious! Lindsey was our server and she was attentive and friendly. Thanks Lindsey!

Hey K

Such horrible service. Where do I begin...our reservation for 15 people was for 5pm, appetizer order not taken until after 5:30. Prior to taking the order, our waiter asked me if we could be done by 7:00 because he had another party coming at 7:30. I told him I was not informed we had a 2 hour time limit, so probably not. We had to buss/ stack most of our own dirty appetizer plates and serving bowls to make room for the main dishes; didn't give us any new clean plates for our food. Only got one refill on drinks, and that was after asking a couple of times. Was charged $15 for birthday cake service.....we brought our cake, cut it and served it ourselves; so I assume the $15 was for our waiter to give us plates and forks???
Very disappointed

If I could give zero stars, I would. We are a family with two young kids and went there hoping to celebrate Mother’s Day. Instead, it turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had.

We received some of our food after 30 minutes, but after more than an hour the kids still had nothing to eat, and it was already 8:20 PM. The waitress repeatedly told us “5 more minutes,” then “2 more minutes,” while nothing arrived. Delays can happen, but being continuously misled and treated as if we would not notice is unacceptable.

The manager eventually apologized, but by then the evening was completely ruined. The food itself was acceptable, but the service was far below any reasonable standard of professionalism or basic respect for customers.

Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else.

Location, dining room and atmosphere was very good. Service was good.
The food was less than I was expecting. The pizza was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. The spaghetti was undercooked but still mushy somehow. The meatballs were good. The risotto balls were decent but not anything special. I’m not picky with Italian food, but we probably won’t be back. Better options out there.

Disappointed. We were really looking forward to this meal, but it missed the mark. One of our pizzas looked rushed and carelessly made. The Margherita Buffala had almost no sauce, what little there was had dried out completely, and it came without any basil — which is a pretty essential part of the dish. Our other pizza was good, which made the inconsistency even more frustrating. The beet salad appetizer was also way overdone with olives and vinegar to the point that it completely overwhelmed everything else. It felt less like a beet salad and more like an olive-and-vinegar salad. For the price and expectations, this was a letdown.

We waited 45 mins to order food. We got water, but it was a long night and we were starving when we got there. Beet Salad is amazing!
