We enjoyed. We will try again. We did not love everything that we ordered. The octopus appetizer was saturated with a tomato based sauce and whereas the sauce was tasty we didn't love it all over the octopus. Maybe this is an hour fault for not recognizing that's how it would be served on from the menu. The stuffed artichoke appetizer head far too many bread crumbs and just wasn't soft and tender enough and a bit dry actually. I got the homemade truffle Propel with mushrooms and it was absolutely delicious. The sauce was a little heavy but it was done amazingly and I loved it. We also had another fish dish that was quite good and then we finished with the krapfen dessert and it was yummy. The pizza look amazing and hopefully we will get that as an appetizer next time we were there and then we will find something else to try. I want to give this place another chance as we did like it we just didn't love it but we think if we get the right things could become regulars

I ordered one of the specials. The veal Ragu over a string pasta. I don’t remember what kind of pasta. There was no sauce. Just shredded clumps of veal with the consistency of baby food in a brown gravy. It was incredibly salty. The portion was small. Which in this case ended up being a good thing. The stuffed artichoke was good and we split a dessert but the bill with tip was $75 For each of us, which was ridiculous.

This has become our go-to spot for ladies night dinner. I have been now with a few small groups of ladies and we have been so welcomed, treated wonderfully and the food is so good! I have also taken to ordering takeout a few times a month and the experience is the same!'' So glad that it is in the neighborhood!

No pizza served on weekends. Messed up a few things on our orders and food was cold. Seems like they’re short staffed, hope they can find more people

Food was very good. Been here many times.However, for time I was extremely disappointed in the service of the waiter. He came to the table only twice the entire meal. The first time was After waiting 15 minutes to be welcomed and see if we wanted a drink and when he showed up he immediately said @what don’t want to order for dinner?” No hello. Welcome. Would you like a drink? Second time he showed up was with the check. No thank you. Nothing. To be fair, the runners brining food and water where terrific.

Everything was very good. Didn’t like that the price on the menu was lower than on the bill. I also think the price for the sole francese was way too high.

Had a 7:00 reservation and was seated promptly. The restaurant is extremely noisy and hard to talk. Waiter came over after only sitting there for a few minutes and asked what we wanted to eat. No greeting and was kind of rude. Appetizers came fairly quickly and were pretty good. When clearing our dishes the woman nearly knocked my wine glass over and didn’t apologize. Entrees were good and came out timely but the pizza was soggy. After that everything went downhill. We sat there for at least 20 minutes waiting for someone to come over to ask us if we wanted dessert etc. The waiter was no where to be seen. We had to get up to find someone to come over to take a dessert order. When they brought the bill to us, there were four extra meals on it that weren’t ours and when we spoke to the waiter about it, he said “Well thats what the order says!” He was argumentative and rude and didn’t even apologize for his mistake. We would not return to this place again. To sum it up… rude waiters, noisy and inattentive service.
