Went last Saturday and it was packed. I’m thinking it was going to be great but then waited 20 mins to be greeted by our server(lead) and another 15 for our drinks to come out. Then we had to wait for another 20 for her to come and take our order. During this process, we noticed a table to the right of us that the chef kept going to, and it was obvious that it must’ve been the chef’s friends/relatives. Our server was there constantly as well, and unfortunately, the other tables that she was serving were getting the same treatment we were. After 30 minutes appetizers came out and then our entrées came out afterwards. Unfortunately to make matters worst the food came out lukewarm. Now I know I could’ve sent it back to get a hot one, but that would mean that all six of us would’ve had to returned our foods to get hot ones to come out and we did not want to wait an extra 30mins. At that point we just wanted to leave, first and last time for us.

We went last Saturday night for dinner in a group of 6. The service was terrible. It took 20 min to order a drink, another 15 to get the drinks and when the server came to take our order, no one had told us what the specials were. We ordered 3 appetizers. Only 2 came out and they brought the 3rd with everyone's entrees (and asked if we still wanted it). My risotto special was just ok and my husband said his spaghetti carbonara was not good. Overall a very disappointing experience and I don't think I'll be heading back.

This is one of the best Italian restaurants that I’ve ever been to. The food is extraordiny, the ambience and the great staff added to this special occasion. It was my Birthday and the home made cheesecake with s candle made made the night.
We finally found this truly authentic Italian restaurant in the area that does not serve pasta Alfredo but instead carbonara, amatriciana, caccio e pepe.

Food was okay, ordered the spaghetti carbonara and it was undercooked. Hosts were not welcoming, service felt very rushed, our bussers and runners were amazing and seemed to be the only ones that were attentive and welcoming to us. Our server spent most of his time at the host stand talking or behind the bar watching tv. Very disappointed.

Fantastic food & a gorgeous atmosphere! The caponata, artichokes & the cheesecake are worth coming for JUST ALONE! The whole menu is brilliant & fresh & exciting & delicious! The staff are all wonderful, and chef is a fantastic host (and gorgeous, to boot!). My Italian & Italian American friends were blown away!
(I'd like to point out to @Google a very good review here that only shows ONE star. Clearly, that was a mistake, because the body of the review is entirely positive! Please try to correct that? I hate to see a mistake mess up a rating for a restaurant that genuinely DESERVES FIVE!)

The food was quality fresh and very well prepared, although a tad bit salty for my palette but did not ruin the meal by any means. We all liked the atmosphere and it was lively without being too loud for my older parents so we could have conversation with ease. Service was speedy and attentive. This is kind of a can’t go wrong place with a chill vibe but elevated food and drinks.
Vegetarian options: Artichokes, eggplant, salads and pasta dishes were great vegetarian options ( not vegan but some did not have cheese so would even work). They also had veg side dishes and amazing bread with a sort of caponata kind of dip for it.. a vegetarian won’t go hungry or feel left out.

Just saw this on TV on Brindiamo. Haven't been here yet, am considering...but no tablecloths, just bare tables for $50-100?

Everything was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the rice ball for an appetizer. Only thing I didn't like about going here is how underwhelming every other Italian restaurant is going to feel in comparison.
