Everything about this restaurant is wonderful and makes for a truly satisfying dining experience -- ambience, food, and service. All dishes are delicious, and staff go out of their way to accommodate allergy restrictions, diners' preferences, and even share plates for you. The owner, Vincenzo, and server Jose are especially courteous, cooperative, and considerate of diners' wishes. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The restaurant was quiet and food very good Brussel sprouts and grilled artichokes were delicious. Cesar Salad was very good And enough for two people. The eggplant balls were good and enough for an entree The service was very good and attentive Haven't been in awhile But will be back

We thought the food was very mediocre and are going to cancel our next reservation that we had made.

My favorite neighborhood Italian restsurant. Every dish is excellent. Not much more expensive than a coffee shop on Madison Ave.

The service at the end of our meal was brusque and impatient. The captain saw I was bending to get my coat and bag to leave and impatiently tried to get by my in the narrow space. Instead of stepping aside and letting me have right of way as a guest, he persisted in trying to push past me as I struggled. The food was mediocre for the price. Don't recommend .

Great neighborhood restaurant. Food is great, reasonably priced and the staff is attentive but doesn't rush you. My wife and I go there frequently

Great food. Lots of variety. The menu is large, but they also have off menu specials like chicken parm, fettuccine primavera, etc. I had the osso buco tonight and it was delicious and a large portion. Wife had a wonderful pasta dish. Great wine selections and cocktails too. We're here almost every week. It's that good. Better than good. Great service too. Cozy little place. I especially like the soft music, Andrea Botcheli , in the background and the nice ambiance.

I booked a reservation on Open Table for 8pm. We arrived early at 7:45pm and checked in. The restaurant was packed and the gentleman told us it would be a few minutes and we offered to wait outside in the freezing cold not to block the doorway. While we were waiting outside people were streaming in and at 8pm I walked inside again and asked the host what was going on and why they never came to get us. He sort of ignored me and there was a lot of commotion but it was clear they had no table for us. They had seated people who arrived after us with no reservations and then tried to put us at a makeshift table in the open door - it's 25 degrees out - adding insult to injury they brought in freezing cold patio furniture that they took in from outdoors. When I asked if we could at least get regular chairs the host told the gentleman seated at the next table that I was mad that they were seated in our table - I was not mad at him at all and never said that - the host tried to start a fight between me and another patron. I asked to speak to the manager and was shuffled outside to the cold again. After 10 minutes waiting my date asked if we could please just go somewhere else because she was freezing. Shame on them.

It was our first visit and I was blown away by how good the food was. And service was friendly and professional. We ate outside so I don't know if I would like the interior space. First sure, I will find out. This may be my new fave!
Absolutely fantastic! Definitely a neighborhood gem. The service is great, the food is great. The pasta is SO fresh! One of the best meals we've had in the neighborhood. The weather was very nice and we were promptly seated outside, the inside looks cozy and perfect for the colder months ahead. Can't wait to come back!
Arrived at 9pm for a 9pm reservation. Server was quite rude and gave me grief about booking a reservation so late (times to dine on open table lasted until 9:30 so was not the latest reservation available). Was told I had to sit and order immediately and began to be pushed along. Decided to get up and go elsewhere. Have heard great things about the food here but had a very unpleasant experience with the service, so didn't get a chance to try the food.

Special appetizer was stuffed zucchini flowers, so incredibly delicious I can't wait to go back and have them again. My go to main course is the zucchini crusted branzino which is served with spinach. Their pasta are amazing. The super Tuscan red wine is my favorite. We have been going there on a regular basis and will continue to do so.
831/2 is a home run. The chicken piccata is my go to but we've also had the Brandi o over spinach which is amazing as is the sole francese. For something light but filling I have the grilled shrimp salad with corn, tomato and a light dressing. Service is exceptional as well.
Extremely disappointed with my recent experience at this restaurant! I had booked a table to surprise a friend, but when we arrived as a group, we were shocked to find out that the restaurant had decided to close earlier than scheduled without notifying me. This was not only embarrassing but also put me in a difficult situation in front of my friends. The lack of communication and consideration is unacceptable. I would advise others to double-check their bookings and confirm the hours before heading out to avoid a similar situation.
