    Better than expected and I expected a lot. Lovely open, casual setting - perfect for family celebrations and gatherings. Got risotto and loved it. Husband said this was his new favorite gourmet pizza spot.

    This has quickly become our favorite Italian eatery in the city- everthing I love WITHOUT having to navigate around pedal taverns and party tractors! Every dish has been excellent and so authentic. Thanks guys and keep up the great work. It's got to be hard work maintaining consistent, flavorful, Italian cuisine.

    Terrible service & average pasta. I can understand the service as they were very busy. It might be much better the next time. But the pasta? I can't see them changing their recipe to make it worth the cost. Still, one of my friends ordered pizza and said it was very good, so maybe I'll come back and try it. BUT...what's this? They charged each of us $3.50 for still (tap) water? Yes, they poured it out of a bottle with a label on it, but we simply ordered "water". They never mentioned that we would be charged for this, and besides why would you assume that we wanted bottled still water? It's this kind of nickel-and-diming that I can't abide. So I won't be back.
