   Cut to the chase: Food is excellent; service ridiculously slow. Took over 45 minutes to get simple pasta dishes. I've never been to a restaurant where looking around at around at a full restaurant, no one, not a single table I could see (and I could see most), had any food on the table. Not even an appetizer. Very, very noisy, but I expected that. If you can put up with that (never again for me), the pastas are terrific: papardelle and gnocchi highly recommended. Desserts good too: we enjoyed the zabiglioni and the gelato. Note: cappuccino machine was "broken" -- a harbinger of a restaurant that is soon to go under. I think I know why :-)

   A great neighborhood gem with wonderful, delicious organic food. I had the lambchops, which were out of this world! My friend had the steak lasagne, which I tasted. It, too, was fantastic! I would go back in a heartbeat.

   We have been to this neighborhood Italian many times, but this time had a very off experience with the service. We arrived on time for our 8:15 reservation, and the restaurant was not full. Without checking, the hostess point blank told us that she didn’t have a reservation for us. “How do you know?” I asked her. She told us she had just seated the last reservation. Since we had made the reservation a half hour before, we suspect she hadn’t looked. I showed her my confirmation, and she seated us without apology for her error. The server who took our order seemed blasé about my food allergy, asked twice, but didn’t write it down even when I asked him to please make sure to check with the chef, and over all did not inspire confidence. Fifteen minutes later a second server came by and introduced himself to take our order, apparently having had our table handed off to him by the first server, but didn’t know our order had already been taken. We were quite confused and started over. We waited more than 45 minutes before any food came, and we had to ask for bread, which normally comes while you’re waiting. The food was, as usual delicious. We have no idea what happened, but felt like the owners have checked out when it comes to training the staff.

   I’m guessing They were short on servers. Took waiter 10 minutes just to acknowledge us. Did not acknowledge the wait or apologize. Ravioli special was good. The vegan bucatini carbonara was dry and strange. There was no need for tofu in the dish. It was overkill. And the rest of the ingredients were too small and inconsequential tasting to enjoy. Added some olive oil and salt and pepper, which livened it up. But too dry as is. The service really turned us off the most though.

   Great neighborhood place! Food is always good; unpretentious but inventive.

   As others have indicated in reviews, the service here is bad. The host sat our party of 4 at a 4-person booth. 5 minutes later a lady with an iPad came over, asked what our reservation name was, and said we were sat in the wrong spot by the host and asked if we wanted to switch tables. We said “no.” At that point we knew that our fear about the service was going to come true. Then, after ordering wine and wine being brought to our table, the server couldn’t figure out how to open the bottle so we had to help him open it ourselves. After ordering food, we sat for 1.5 hours before our entrees finally came. To top it off, two of the people in our party were vegan and the bus person served one of them the wrong dish which had meat in it. My guest even confirmed with him when he put down the plate if it was vegan and he incorrectly said yes (after one bite of bacon, it was clear that something was wrong his dish). Then we had to wait another 10 minutes for a new dish to come out. If you’re going to have a full page of vegan options, at least don’t serve people meat lol. It was embarrassing to pick out the place and let down my guest. Service ruined the vibe of the night. The food wasn’t bad, but it took an eternity to come out and we were ready to leave by the time it came. It’s no wonder they had tables available on a Saturday night. Weird experience.

   Service was very slow despite being one of the first seated (over an hour from the time we arrived to receiving our dinner). Fish was painfully overcooked. Pasta was good.

   We were there with family, 5 total. Poor, indifferent waiter - slow service, had to ask for water 4 times, came well after food arrived. Then they charged $69 more than bill - couldn't reverse, insisted we pay twice and that we'd probably get the wrong amount back in a few days (but not with confidence). Most importantly, never apologized - my (grown) kids were stunned by the unprofessional behavior.

   Good mix of vegan and non-vegan options. Surprisingly, no vegan options for coffee lightener. Would have expected soy or almond milk. Portion sizes were a bit small for my taste but my wife was happy with hers. Homemade hazelnut spread in the dessert was excellent. Bar atmosphere and seating near the front was a bit chilly. Overall, the vegan options make this a good choice but if you're not vegan you can do better.
