We were seated outside on a lovely evening, so that was great. We wished for a simple fish entree but the menu is quite limited to pasta or pizza. There were a couple other options (a pork sandwich or steak and an usual veggie option) ----but that was it. No chicken or fish. A slightly broader menu would have been nice on a hot evening. The pasta tasted great but it was very heavy given the weather.

I love this restaurant. The service is fantastic, friendly and accommodating. If they have room, they'll try to fit you in. Server came to check regularly and fill water glasses promptly. Did not have to wait long for food at all. On top of the fact that all of the food was delicious of course. Doesn't get much better than this for a dining experience. Great neighborhood too. Can't wait to come back.

The food was fantastic!! Small plates allow you to try a bit of everything. The octopus was the best we have ever had! We sat at the bar and the bartender was the best around!! The pizza crust was crispy and the toppings fresh!
