   Always excellent food and service here. This is truly the best authentic Italian in Georgetown.

   Nothing was suggested or offered by way of appetizers or breed, which is odd for a restaurant. We would have ordered both. The Caesar salad is very plain with shredded Parmesan, Romain and croutons that were not impressive. For the price point, it could have shaved Parmesan or better croutons - something. The tiramisu, to be honest, is terrible - probably the worst I’ve ever had. The effort put into the enormous amount of cocoa powder garnish on the plate should be put into the actual dessert which should itself be on a plate instead of in a mug. That said - the octopus, which I had for a meal, is as delicious. It was perfectly cooked and tender. The ravioli were also amazing. I wouldn’t have changed a thing about either. Perfection.

   Our first time here and will definitely be back. I had the excellent salmon and husband had mussels and shrimp. All were excellent and coffee was great too. Our server Lauren was friendly and attentive. We noted on our OT reservation that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we arrived to find an anniversary card signed by all the employees. We’ll be back!

   The only negative to an otherwise very positive experience, was the fact the meal courses were brought out too quickly, without sufficient break between them.

   We brought our twins for their 8th birthday. It was fine… not overly good, not bad… I think it would have been nice to have the server or anyone acknowledge their birthday. Little kids love that center of attention feeling, and while it’s not a “kid” place, they were dressed up and ready to enjoy some yummy food & feel special. That’s really my only complaint. Octopus was fine, it was cool to see the pasta we ordered, presumably, being made… the wine room we were in was private and cute… the tartare was also ok, but bread service “side” was phenomenal. Overall, I probably wouldn’t return, but it was fine once and seems like with just a little service polish, better.

   Great service! I feel that the front desk host and server read the vibe and gave us a private room/area for a party of six, last minute booking. Absolutely loved the energy of the restaurant and would highly recommend!

    Very good food and excellent atmosphere. Service was also very good. My wife’s salmon was some of the best she’s ever eaten. My short ribs were also excellent, very tender, boneless, although they could use a little more seasoning. The bread, (optional at,$9.00!) was very tasty and shaped like a 2” high round cake. Our only disappointment (other than the price we had to pay for bread) was the Caesar salad, which had a somewhat tart taste and therefore didn’t taste like anything we are accustomed to having. We will be returning again in the future.
