Meh. Service was great, but food was just okay. Lasagna was pretty bland, and came without bread or anything, which for $25 is unacceptable. $12 salad was basically a pile of arugula. Many local Italian restaurants in my midwest hometown of 44k are far better.

We are waiting for a table for 20 minutes and they put other people in the table that was supposed to be ours, they have no respect for customers

Me and my family went to this restaurant and we were waiting for 40 minutes for a table. Then when the table was ready for us and the sons of the honors of the restaurant arrived and sitted in our table, they have disrespected us and told that the waiting time were more 40 minutes. The people that work in the restaurant were very disrespectful with me and my family, told us that they couldn’t do nothing. Very bad place, don’t recommend for having a good time. It’s about respect, it’s not about being the honors sons, they have to respect the waiting time, and in the final they shaked their hands sending us goodbye.

I liked the environment and the servers were nice. Pizza was good and they had good options. However, not the best I have ever had. Dough was a little heavier than expected and some ingredients weren’t the best.Overall, a good experience!

We ordered the salumi & formaggi & when it was delivered the server said they would be right back with the bread to go with it. We sat there for over 20 minutes without receiving it & our drinks were empty. Our mains were dropped off before anyone came back to check on us. It was very difficult to maneuver then with 2 main dishes plus drinks plus our app & side plates all on a small 2 person table. I ordered a pizza & the entire crust was burnt & my husband ordered the tagliatelle alla genovese & the pasta was undercooked, slimy & inedible. It was a very expensive meal with terrible service & poor food quality. Wishing we had chosen another restaurant.

Food was pretty good.Portions were on the small side though. Had a cheese pizza, Tagliatelle, Cacio E Pepe, Grilled Octopus, with a salad, 2 beers + orange juice, Tiramisu and Bombolone & Nutella.May or may not return as there are many other options to try in the area.

Came here on a Saturday with no reservations but were seated immediately. Our visit was not planned and only due to one of us craving a certain dish that the menu online had listed. Unfortunately they did not offer said dish that day but we decided to stay regardless and all got pizzas instead.The menu was limited (especially for two of us who are vegetarian). Our pizzas were fresh, delicious and authentic.I don't usually like dining outside but I was glad we did after we went inside to use the bathroom and heard how extremely noisy and cramped it was.Service was just okay.All in all a nice experience but would not visit again.

Visited late Sunday afternoon when things generally were busy and they obviously weren't helped by a system issue. The actual food especially the Pizza was great. But service was a bit off and chaotic, so much so that our starters and mains arrived at virtually the same time. Hard to be too upset by that as they were obviously having issues taking orders etc. The gooid food made up for it and I'd definitely go again

Ate at the bar since it was just me. Excellent service and delicious food as always. Highly recommend the octopus and the carbonara pizza; add capers to the pizza for some brightness to counteract the richness of the pizza. Off the chain.

Delicious, but really can't understand the ridiculously small portions. Alfredo pasta is jot a gourmet meal...6 forks full and it was gone. Just provide a portion that the tiniest person would consider a meal. I literally told the waiter...'sorry we didn't order a kid's meal'....I was with my young daughters
