we could enjoy having lunch with good atmosphere for farewell business lunch because of good service.

Came here tonight to enjoy restaurant week. Ordered the focaccia bread with the ricotta and it was really dry so we sent it back. Served was so kind and gracious and we just got the regular focaccia which was good. My salad for antipasti was delicious and I had the beef shank with polenta for my entree. Food was great and portion size was good! I also had the hibiscus tea and it was really good and refreshing. I had the apple cranberry crumble dessert, it was fantastic. I would go again. I would say the seating can be a little tight though. Bathrooms were private individual stalls, very clean.

Food is regular price but wine is way overpriced. Service was too slow and they even forgot to bring a main course.

Love the food and the decor. My second time here. Unfortunately it is very loud and the small tables are so close together that I couldn't hear my dining companion across the table with others on both sides talking WAY too loud. Unfortunate.

Finally got a chance to try and was pleasantly surprised! Saw this place opening last year and have been meaning to check it out. Great restaurant week options and our server Bolana was fantastic and knowledgeable. Will be back soon to try the lunch too. Great to find solid spots close to work..

Food was fine. Service was terrible. Went to dinner with two other friends and when we got there the hostess was ignoring us to talk to another hostess and when she finally paid mind they sat us at a table that was clearly for 2 people not 3. We asked them if there was any possibility to be moved but they said that the table we were at was specifically for 3 people (it was not) and they didn’t have table’s available. As we were seated we saw that there were other tables available and throughout dinner they remained available. A big issue we were also having with the space was the fact that it’s winter, so we had our large winter coats eating up most of the space. When we asked if they had a coat check, they said yes but it was never offered after the fact we expressed how uncomfortable and tight the seating was. I don’t plan on returning. Hostesses were rude. Sorry.

Group of four for dinner last night. We have been here several times before with different people. We order to share. Last night we ordered the chopped salad siciliana and mushroom and sausage pizza as appetizers. Then for dinner, we ordered the sasso chicken and meatballs (5 portion). For desert, we ordered chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Everything was delicious but slightly too salty for my wife. A great place to dine and people watch. BTW, we brought our own wine. So please note that the corking charge is $35 per bottle. Last note, several nice and spacious bathrooms. The one I chose had some paper on the floor. In previous visits, the bathrooms were spotless. On another visit, four of us started with a pizza and salad. Then we shared the meatballs as they are always delicious, and an order of baked eggplant. Yummy! Back again on March 12 with niece from SF and two adult children. Ordered pizza, eggplant, meatballs and two deserts. All very delicious. A great evening and had nice conversation with Maverick.

Overall food was great but the tiramisu was borderline disgusting. Why would there be olive oil and maldon sea salt in tiramisu?! It nearly was tasteless and completely lacked any coffee/sweetness flavor. Very disappointing.
Algea was our server and she was incredible!! We had an amazing meal - perfect from start to finish and Algea really made our night.

Adorable decor. Great service. The chopped salad was delicious. Very good margarita pizza. The Italian sandwich was very dry. Needs so sauce and cheese or something. I'd still recommend it because aside from the sandwich, it was really good.

The food here is good, but the service is rigid to the point of being frustrating.
We were not allowed to sit without a full party, then told to wait at the bar. When seated alone while waiting for my guest, I was told I could not order an appetizer and had to wait to place the entire order at once. Later, the table was cleared immediately after dinner and dessert was pushed right away.
If this sounds overly strict, read other negative reviews — many mention the same lack of flexibility. Good food doesn’t make up for poor hospitality. Exceptional circumstances require judgment, not rules for rules’ sake.
Disappointing experience.

We went here for New Year’s Eve for dinner around 9pm. The restaurant was super busy, and very lively! We had a party of 4 and all had drinks. We got 2 appetizers and 4 main courses, with a pizza to share. Appetizers were salad and truffle ricotta focaccia I believe, 2 orders of veal bolognese, truffle pizza, and rigatoni (which was supposed to be gluten free but came wrong the first time). The food was okay- the ricotta appetizer and chocolate torta were the best things we had. The server got our order of gluten free pasta wrong - even though we mentioned it, and was talking badly about our table to another server behind our back. They didn’t apologize or offer to compensate us, just made comments on the side between servers. Overall, atmosphere was great but I think the food is overpriced and the service could be a lot better.
