Best Authentic Restaurants in Downtown / Old Market

Overall I was pleased and will visit again - though there were a few issues. I was there with my cousin, so the service may have been less than ideal as servers are wary of wasting time with a 2-woman table. I tried to tip in a way as to dispel that notion although my water glass stayed empty and she stopped coming around after a first bite check of the table. She was not rude, just missing. I would have gotten another glass of wine, but she never came back until she brought the check. The highlight of the evening was the bread and whipped riccotta 'butter' which we ate far too much of. The chicken parm was fine, but nothing special. I actually took most of it home and forgot it in the car - because it was that forgettable. Again, not bad, just not a standout preparation of the chicken or signature to the sauce. But my cousin loved her gnochi and the bite I had of it was good - though alfredo isn't my sauce. It was much larger than any other gnochi I have ever had, as it was about the size of a half-dollar with a divot in the middle to grab sauce - great idea, and she was plenty full when she was done. The vibe is good and you know you are in an Italian restaurant. I will return, but may bring a man so we look more worthy of return visits to our table. I wish either women would stop making this stereotype true or servers would stop believing it. Chicken/egg I suppose.

We have been here mant times. The food is always excellent and Meera is wonderful!

Excellent service delicious food pricey but worth it!0

Consistently excellent food! Our group from Nashville was even impressed! Thank you!

Servers were very friendly and eager to help. Food was very good, but we got about 1/2 the amount of clam strips as the last multiple times we’ve ordered them. Three of us were eating them and it was fine. Probably won’t order again.
