we were so excited to try this restaurant and the food was really great, but we felt really neglected and ignored by the service staff. We had to pour our own wine and trying to get their attention was really challenging, even though we were in a very high traffic area.

What a great evening! Everything was exceptional- from the food, to the wine, to the service. Staff was super friendly, offering great suggestions and making us feel really welcome. Food was tremendous! My favourite was the agnolotti- so fresh and rich at the same time. I'll definitely be back again!

Really enjoy it. This was the first time we sat inside and with a small space they make a nice atmosphere. Food was great as well, would go back for sure.

The pasta special was amazing! Bow tie in a butter cream sauce! Kale salad and snails were yum too. Our server was delightful and very attentive. Chicken special a bit dry but overall a lovely dinner!

The menu selection is limited, but every dish sounded great. We ordered the Branzino and rabbit leg entres for dinner with snails and raw tuna as apps. All dishes were excellent, we ate everything. The suggested white wine was perfect, especially with the fish. Dessert was limited in choices, but we were too full anyways.
