    Food, service, and atmosphere was fantastic! The pasta is all homemade and there isn’t a bad thing to order on the menu. Great food and drinks at reasonable price.

    I love the taste of the food here. Everything pairs nicely even if it’s something you would not initially try together. Their pasta is made in house so I imagine that impacts food arrival time and explains the firmness of the noodles. I enjoyed the taste and texture. However, one member of my party did not enjoy the texture and described it as hard. Not a good option for someone who struggles to chew. The shrimp side comes with 4 large shrimps with pesto on top of the shrimps. We were seated downstairs. There are candles at every table and the lights on the wall flicker/dim ever so slightly, playing on the candle look. An intimate and dark speakeasy feel down there. All staff were helpful including hosting waiting, bar, and serving staff. They have a large selection of wines and alcohol and have drinks like soda the bar can bring to you.

    A beautiful Mother's Day dining on the patio. We each chose a different pasta and all were equally delicious. Highly recommend adding a side of veal cutlets to share.

    Our server Rachel was incredible. She made our entire evening and my Mother’s Day a lovely experience. She really went above and beyond for our table and took such great care of us. The food of course was incredible, per usual, but our server really stood out to us in the best way. Thank you so much, Rachel. You are so kind and attentive, and we couldn’t appreciate you more.
