I enjoyed this restaurant . I have eaten at my fair share of Italian restaurants. This ,by far, was probably the best!The eggplant appetizer is a must try. Layered with the most delicious sauce, the eggplant remained crispy and firm. Please the recipe for your sauce!The ravioli and meatballs (such a simple meal) was gourmet as they come. The pasta was delicate, the filling flavorful and moist.... and the meatballs...The best!.I had the veal and peas with pasta in a cream sauce. I loved the flavors but the pasta was a bit gummy and veal a bit tough, but still enjoyed the dish. Try a different pasta ,tenderize the veal and you have another winner.Dessert was disappointing ...2 choices neither one for me. Tieramasu andGelato. All in all a wonderful dining experience with great food and excellent service.

Our server was incredibly friendly and well mannered never caught her name tho. Food was good too.

The whole experience was delightful. The bread comes with a divinely smooth ricotta and oil for dipping. Had the vegan meal with cauliflower steak and a cashew cacio e pepe sauce, which was awesome. Tiramisu for dessert was a bit frozen still but worth it.

Fish was meh. The pasta bowl slapped, the eggplant slapped. The constant diet Cokes slapped. The 14 dollar martini was okayish. Definitely a hip spot to drop into. Service was top notch!

Great dinner last night! Sat outside, shaded from building and nice breeze. On the street, side street. Food so so delicious! We made it to James Taylor concert on time with 5:45 pm reservations. Olive oil with ricotta for bread on table, so fresh and tasty! We will be returning soon!

The pasta was great. The service perfect and the cocktails were well balanced. If I were to critique the restaurant, I would say that’s it’s not all that family friendly. No white milk, limited kids menu; etc. it’s definitely worth trying; the prices are also good.

First time here, went before a show. Glad we had reservations b/c its tiny. If you are just 2 people like we were you will be eating with the people next to you b/c you are that close. If you have mire than 2 people you will be at a table with mire room. It's a tiny place so I get it and it was kind of nice as we ended up talking a little bit with everyone around us. Food was fantastic...I had the swordfish and my bf had the bolognese. Both excellent! We also split the Belgian waffle sundae, which was outstanding as well. I did use the rest room and it has unusually low lighting, which made me look fantastic, but I seriously couldn't even tell if I had anything stuck in my teeth b/c it was too dark to see, lol! Overall great dinner.

Disappointed to be presented with a massive bill at the end of the night caused by one of the specials costing $42. Naturally I expected this main course to be a little more than what was on the menu, but that’s more than double what my girlfriend’s dinner cost.The waiter did not specify this beforehand, which I strongly feel would’ve been the courteous thing to do to a customer.Unfortunate blemish on an otherwise lovely night.

Overall dinner was a solid 4 stars. The Branzino was tasty, but definitely needed some additional seasoning and a side to accompany it. The Bucatini Amatraciana with the Burrata ball was very good, prepared well and beautifully presented. The service was lacking; it took a while for the waitress to come to the table.

Very friendly and attentive wait staff. Bread had chili flakes as did evoo. Generous wine serving. Eggplant parmesan appetizer was excellent. Squid ink spaghetti with crab was delicious although I asked them to dial down the spice which was tasty and not overbearing. Wonderful spumoni. Enjoyed the dinner and enjoyed the atmosphere.
