Ordered a Campanelle con Pollo. Wow it was extremely salty. Others at my table who also ordered pastas had the same issue. There is too much salt in their pastas!!! Seems like there are other reviews this year who also think the same.

If you come here, I would avoid the chicken pastas!

The food was great and the atmosphere was nice and quiet. We sat inside and the noise level wasn’t bad, the temperature was decent as well. All around great place.

Disappointing. Friends and family all recommended, but they hadn’t been in over a year so this might be a new development. Our whole party did not enjoy our meals, three different menu items and all were very bad. With how highly this place is rated it may have been an off night, but this was a horrible dining experience. The drinks were solid though.

It hurts to submit this review as we used to love the food at this place and hope this review help the owners to identify some of the issues and bring their great restaurant back to its glory .
This restaurant usually has a very level and quality of food with attention to details but some of the following issues were just motntontheir standards.
Calamari was definitely fried innold oil which was shocking to us, risotto was beyond overcooked , special of the day came with mushroom sauce that was truly over salted and tough to eat and mussels were not as tasty as always and were full of sands and/or crushed shells in every bite, cheesecake had such a hard crust that I couldn't break it with my fork or spoon.
Ceasar salad was great as always and focaccia bread was tasty and pleasant , the soup of the day was homey and excellent for this to,end the year .
This time I didn't try their famous octopus dish which I am happy about since that is my favorite dish and clearly was a bad day in the kitchen . I would love to come back and try the octopus so don't want any3hing to change that,
Overall , every place has a good day and a bad day and today we experienced this restaurant's bad day but knowing them, we will definitely try them again and we know they will be great.

Delivers on excellent rustic Italian with good value and bountiful portions. Great local wine options. Food comes out quickly and piping hot. Octopus and paté were both delicious and balanced apps. Braised short rib, and sausage pasta were also excellent, didn't even need a knife for the short rib. Tiramisu was fine, just not to my taste, I'm very picky about tiramisu. Service was equally excellent. Rachel was extremely pleasant, made great recommendations, and even laughed convincingly at my Dad jokes. My biggest regret is not adding this place to our rotation sooner. A return is definite. Decor is meh, but by the time the focaccia with delectable scallion oil hit our table within minutes of being seated, the surroundings were all but a distant memory. Don't be precious, just go enjoy the abondanza and familiar service that makes you feel like a regular from your first visit. It's not cheap, but considering we each had an app and main, shared a dessert and a bottle of wine, it was worth what we paid. I've paid way more for much less food and a less memorable experience.

Food and service were very good. A little loud and very pricey.

We went Saturday and I had the bolognese pasta dish. The pasta is homemade and was cooked perfectly. However the bolognese lacked flavour. Large chucks of meat. Sorry but bolognese is generally fine ground meats that’s been braised for a few hours. Melts in your mouth. Really lacked flavour.

This was a great recommendation from one of the local wineries. Our server, Neve, was very professional and made our dining experience amazing. The food was incredible- everything we had was superb. We will definitely go back!

Had a terrible experience. They overcooked my veal. I sent it back. One hour later, there was no food. My wife's pasta was cold. I got up to ask where my food was. They told me to leave. Horrible service, we left hungry. Pathetic.

The owner is very aggressive and argumentative.

The seafood pasta was actually the best pasta I have ever tried and I don’t even like seafood. Service was a bit slow but the food was delicious
