When I give a solid 4 star its probably most people's 5 star.
Service was enjoyable, pleasant and efficient. Bar or table was same experience. Bar staff does engage in more conversation buy definitely leans toward regulars. Food servings are appropriate. Some.may think small but if you enjoy it, pace and converse you will ealk out satisfied. Its not 3 noodles well placed on a plate. Good liquor selection and when I was there the beer selection was enough and they will help suggest if you need that. The pasta dishes become cravings after you leave and you will want to return.
Food was good servings, nice choices and all cooked incredibly well and balanced flavor. I remember the appetizers being delicious and the vibe is comfortable, casual but a little elevated. Perfect from friends or date night. There are some more intimate tables alone the wall with windows that looked great as well.

My husband and I visited on Friday for the first time. When I say this is thee best hidden little gem we have ever found I mean it. The staff were outstanding from the host, the server, to the chef, everyone was so friendly and inviting. The esthetic of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Now to get to the food… we big backed because we could not contain ourselves. We had the calamari, truffle risotto, shrimp scampi, meatballs, linguine, and of course the flourless chocolate cake with salted caramel ice cream for dessert. We literally could not stop eating. Everything was made with fresh/homemade ingredients. We cant wait to come back. The best food we have had in a long time! This is what a dining experience feels like.

This places is a hidden gem! Very relaxed atmosphere, down to earth hospitality. Kid friendly. I couldn't help but noticed how clean this restaurant was! No dust or cobwebs anywhere so I complimented the manager on duty! Our waitress Janine was so nice and attentive to our every need even when we didn't realize we needed something! We will definitely be coming back whenever we're back in town!

I love this spot. The eggplant parm gets me excited every time I go. I have taken family, had dates and hosted anniversary dinners here. The staff is always so nice and my guests have always felt at home eating here. Thank you!

Delicious! Great atmosphere. Friendly service. We had a really nice group dinner here. Probably would have ordered more if the service had been more attentive. I actually had to flag down the server to request a dessert menu. Despite that, I’ll be back and recommend it.

Came to dinner on Friday with five of my friends to celebrate my birthday, and we had such a great experience! The food was outstanding, and our waitress was incredibly kind, friendly, and warm. I highly recommend the Porcini Campanelle — it was absolutely to die for! Such a delicious pasta dish. My martinis were also excellent.
I forget our waitress’s name, but she was an absolute gem! Keep her forever and take good care of her — what an amazing employee. She truly made the experience even more special!
My only minor complaint would be the specialty cocktails. As someone who works in the service industry, I felt they lacked balance and depth of flavor. The bitterness and strength of the alcohol overpowered the drinks, making it harder to enjoy the actual cocktail itself. Other than that, everything was wonderful, and I’d definitely come back!

Excellent dinner. We ordered several pastas. The rigatoni was spectacular. Really good cacio Pepe. We ordered the special which was chicken parm. That was also very good.
We also really enjoyed our cocktails. Excellent Aperol Spritz and also the Orange Wine was really refreshing.

Great pasta — cooked to perfection! The apps size was relatively small ($$$) but all in all it was all wonderful
The salad had great taste with the fresh anchovy.

Cocktails were excellent. They have a wide selection of amaros and integrate them into the bar menu well. They were accommodating and turned an appetizer item into a main so we could try the pasta. The pork Milanese was great. The server was unbelievably friendly and accommodating. Was happy to spend the money felt like getting value, even though it was not cheap. Would return.

Everything is perfect. The best Italian style I have had in years. Delicious, creative, perfectly prepared pastas. Excellent drinks curated by the manager. Caring and responsive service. We had a dog so they set up a table on the walk for us and we enjoyed meeting the friendly locals passing by in this charming neighborhood. I love the John Waters, Johnny Depp connection.
