Food was lovely - pasta was excellent and fresh prosciutto was sublime Service levels not great - think a lack of awareness and training more than anything. Asked three times for water. Poor knowledge of the wine list (actually gave us a new and out of date list, which i have to explain the differences when they disagreed that was the case), unprofessional points like the staff making themselves focaccias at end of shift and eating at the bar, scooping ice-cream out of the Peters tub at the bar to make an Affogato (at least give me some mystery when buying an $18 desert - not remind me I could do this at home for $6 and yes that would include the Frangelico). I think this place suffers from trying to be too many things - is it a café, is it a delicatessen, is it a wine bar, is it a restaurant ?? So our experience was good, but not great PS _ get rid of that ridiculous "cushion strip" across the wall - it sits too high and makes it difficult to sit on the bench

Buonissimo. Lovely hand made pasta and glass of vino. We’ve been coming for a while and it has never been a let down.

Fantastic vibe, a real taste of Italy. You must try the homemade Focaccia and the Ragu is to die for! Definitely going on my favorite list

Very nice place. Cold when we first sat down but they put the heater on and then it was comfortable. The staff were quite attentive at the beginning but we asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu and it never arrived. At this point we decided to leave. This was a shame as the food was very nice.

Ciao Ben, We are sorry about your disappointment. Maybe our waiter lacked a bit of attention towards the end. We hope to do better next time. OGI Team
