    The food and the service and even the prices were 10/10. We were seated sooner than expected and everything was excellent from that moment on. My only suggestion would be for a small lamp at our table for a bit more light. Lindsay was our server. We will ask for her again. Great suggestions and great timing with her presence and serving. We had the homemade ricotta and carpaccio together. Then spicy vodka and butternut ravioli with shared meatballs. ❤️

    We had a wonderful late lunch after a great CSO symphony concert. We started with a Ricotta bread appetizer which was delicious. We then had two pastas that my wife and I shared - one had wild mushrooms (fungi) and the other was Amatriciama which had great flavor. We had some limoncello with our amaretti cookies to finish. What a fun time!

    We come here every year for my wife’s birthday and the food and service are always great. However, it’s disappointing that there is never a dessert to pick. Almond cookies are always offered, but they are horrible. This year they were tiny and hard as a rock. If the dessert is the same next year, we will pass on it, despite it being free.

    Love sitting in the lower level but it’s been very noisy the last two visits, and server spoke softly so it was a little challenging. Food was great as always. I had meatballs and they were delicious and three were very filling. My friend had the veal cutlets and wedge salad and said both were great.
