We ended being late for our reservation due late ferries and they were able to accommodate us. They were very efficient, which was wonderful because we were under a time deadline still. Food was excellent. The panic bars on the doors to the bathroom threw me off. The doors are are well marked but it still looked like an exit to me. My bad.

Server Abe was attentive. Bartender Robert knew I was a fan of Hennessy cognac and made a delicious cocktail of “dealer’s choice”. Caesar salad was delicious along w the anchovy filet. We did the petite messina flight w cacio e pepe, pesto, and bolognese. Pesto was my fave. Ooh cant forget bread served w black truffle butter! Dinner was followed up w a pistachio and hazelnut gelato!

Food is amazing, staff is friendly. Watch out for the 22% service charge. In addition to that they suggest 20%, 25%, and 30% tip. Crazy that it’s up to us as customers to pay the “livable wage” as stated on the receipt when you’re already paying $30 for a bowl of pasta. I don’t mind the price of the pasta, but they could have just written it into the price if they were really concerned. Felt kind of like a trick.

The meatballs and broccolini are delicious, but the service charge is outrageous.

Visited solely for the pasta flight and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The service was amazing and our waitress was wonderful. Highly recommend if you want fresh handmade pastas! We also had an appetizer salad and the garlic bread, all great… that pasta flight is just next level!

The food was ok but nothing to warrant going back. Service was good but the kitchen needs work. Pasta wasn’t al dente it was way under cooked. Spice levels for the Cacciatore were crazy two of our party couldn’t eat it it was so spicy. Plus for a table of 4 the first two dinners arrived 15 min before the next two were served. That is bad kitchen management.

Our server was attentive, but not overly so. We ordered the short rib lasagna and the bolognese. Both were good but a bit oily.
