Very nice ambiance

Celebrated an early birthday with my mom here. The food is always quality and ingredients fresh.

One of the hostesses was rude and unwelcoming. We had to wait almost 30 minutes to just get water or our drink orders in. The food was good and came out quickly.

Had a dinner date with my friend and we enjoyed our food! The service was ok.

Grabbed dinner with friends on the outdoor patio. Vibes and drinks were flowing. We enjoyed our spontaneous dinner. Only complaint is that my server got one of my friends order wrong. She wanted the branzino but he mistakenly heard bertu. So she had to wait on her food a little longer

Come here for my anniversary for the first time, had saw photos of the food and wanted to try it. To start the waiter was really helpful and did a great job. The atmosphere it was cool/modern and enjoyable. The food was subpar at best. We ordered the meatballs for starter and glass of wine, which both were very good, then we ordered the ametrciana and the bertu and when they arrived to the table we both kind of looked at each other like “this is it?” The amatriciana was nothing more than some noodles with red sauce on top and a dash of Parmasean on the corner of the plate and it seemed as if my food had sat under a heat lamp for several minutes too long because the top of the sauce/cheese and noodles was somewhat burnt and noodles very rubbery. The bertu was a very small helping of food and for $21 Was depressed at how small and unappetizing it looked. After receiving the bill and tipping, paying $100+ total.. I was not happy with my experience solely based on the quality of food. I have been to several Italian places in the area (scalinis, mezaluna even magionos) and have paid less money and had better quality. At the end of the day I don’t care about the price. I’ll pay $200 if the food is exceptional quality, but this was not that. I hope you guys read this and if some changes are made I would love to give it another shot because the resultant met and exceeded all Expectations EXCEPT for the quality of the food.

Always excellent food. Only negative the outside heaters came on temp was 87 degrees. Crazy!

Awful pasta - I grew up in Italy and had plenty of carbonara in Italy and around the world, and the carbonara I had here has to be one of the worst I’ve had. The pasta itself was very hard to chew, the pancetta was overcooked and way too thick, and the egg was so sticky everything was glued to the plate. Noise level makes conversations difficult - the freight trains passing by every 30 mins do not help. Would not recommend.

New favorite restaurant

Our service was fantasitc, checked on us without being overbearing, exellent recommendations and wine pairing. Drinks are fun and interesting and the food was excellent. Great vibe and energy here. We will return!
