Great seating at the counter by the kitchen. We had a great white pizza and the seasonal pasta with black truffles. The truffles had no flavor; we had them in Umbria, so we knew how they should taste.

We couldn’t have had a better experience, thanks to the wait staff and especially Jeff, whose gracious and engaging presence made the evening memorable. An authentic and kind soul.

Literally so overhyped. Food was lackluster and flavorless. No clue why people love it so much. anywhere else (flour + water, Tony’s, heck even Delarosa and amici’s) is better. Save your time and money.

Portions were great. The menu options were simple and delicious. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend for a good meal and fun location. The only thing is if you are driving, give yourself ample time as parking can be a bit challenging.

We sat at the chefs counter and wouldn’t have it any other way. What a fun experience to watch your dish being made- and what a way to make you drool over everyone else’s dishes!
