Awesome date night place. Not cheap, not too expensive, food is ALWAYS good though. Really liked the Snowy Groni (seasonal drink).

Wow, this place is amazing. The food is delicious, the wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly. We had some mocktails which were also incredible. Will go again!

We had some local friends really excited to take us here and we all left incredibly disappointed. When we arrived, our greeter was rude and sat us without saying a word. A single cocktail took 30 minutes to arrive, though the restaurant was barely halfway full with ample staff. The food was the most disappointing part of the experience, beginning with the 45-50 minute delay, though we ordered only pastas, no pizza or proteins (and they were some of the highest priced pastas I’ve paid, including in NYC, SF, and LA). The focaccia was burnt and stale. The $26 carbonara was inedible, and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours- totally cold, congealed and mushy with no flavor or carbonara sauce (it was legitimately dry pasta). The $29 duck ragu and $24 Zozonna were mediocre at best, with overcooked pasta and bland flavors. The $29 Funghi was the best entree, though the pasta was similarly overcooked, so much so that the noodles were breaking under the weight of the sauce.
Our waitress was very kind and apologetic the entire night, and comped us an app (calamari, which was the best dish of the night with a great fry) and dessert (tiramisu, which unfortunately was the worst I’ve had and couldn’t take more than a bite). It’s worth mentioning, too, that we specifically booked our reservation here for the oysters, which were not available because their oyster guy apparently just didn’t show up. Our friends told us that this was one of the best restaurants in town when it opened and that they are so sad to see it go downhill so quickly. So much potential here but not nearly worth the price unless serious attention is paid to the quality of food and service.

We like to go to sit at the bar for date night. The bartenders are great, and the atmosphere is a little more lively. The food, cocktails and wines by the glass are excellent as well - especially if you're craving house made pasta.

Burnt chicken parm! Sent it back and it came out burnt again.
The highlight of the restaurant (besides the amazing food) was our awesome server Ethan! His attention to detail, fun vibe and lively attitude made were an awesome addition to the amazing vibe and feel of the restaurant. You can’t leave without getting the chicken parm and the arancini! Can’t wait to come back soon!

Came here for dinner and had tasty vegan Margherita pizzas that had thin, crispy crusts. Also got to have Bonta vegan Mayan chocolate ice cream that is delicious. Veganized the truffle fries as well and they were tasty. The arugula salad, arancini, shrimp dish and zeppoles were enjoyed by everyone. So were the drinks! No step to enter.

We were here for Happy Hour during the week in the fall- so it was fairly quiet, the bartender was very attentive and the 2 person booths in the bar are great. We both had pizza and it was superb- the mozzarella was perfection and wood fired as well. Meatball slider was spicy- which was ideal for one of us- and not the other- but the bun was still fabulous. Beverage from the bar was also unique and fabulous. The Happy Hour pricing was also great. I'm sure will go back to try the main dining area and full menu another time.
