    The food was phenomenal. I had the grilled octopus, ricotta dumplings, and the sausage pizza. The grilled octopus is the best I’ve ever had so far, I would definitely recommend it! The ricotta dumplings were amazing, the texture, the taste, it was amazing quality. It was like a gnocchi pillow, definitely would recommend it to try. And the sausage pizza, let me just say, best pizza I have had.

    An all around wonderful experience. The food was outstanding, from the fresh pasta to the crispy crust of the pizza. The staff was accommodating, friendly, and prompt. Thank you for a great experience.

    So average! Waited too long for initial interaction with server, yet the server did a decent job. Food way overpriced- pasta was mushy, we asked for our pasta “al dente”- not properly cooked. I mean I know there is inflation, but these prices are crazy. Go to Ciccio Mio food way better - over priced too but solid.
