Great food, wine and service. Fun place. R Appetizer veal meatballs - light, great app. Bread was warm, crust was crispy, soft inside. Cappellacci pasta dinners were fabulous. No room for dessert...next time!

The ambience and service were good, but the food was a little underwhelming. We were seated promptly, and the staff was attentive. It’s cozy, but borderline too cramped. In our party of 5, no one rated their food above just an ok. It was fast and warm, but lacking any depth in the flavors. The cheesecake was odd, it didn’t taste like a dessert. It was very savory and spicy. It should be an appetizer served with crackers for dipping. In their defense, it was called pepe de cacio; they weren’t kidding.

I’ve been here a couple of times with my boyfriend and liked the food and the service was alright. However, I made a reservation to come here for my birthday with my family. We were seated right away and I even indicated that it was a special occasion specifically a birthday when I made the reservation. Not once did my waiter acknowledge that there was a special occasion for us when in fact I feel like they should’ve known considering that the reservation website asked if there was any special occasion. I don’t blame the waiter but more so the management. We ordered the calamari for the appetizer and it came out very salty. I tend to be okay with salty foods but even I couldn’t stand how salty it was and neither did my family. I fear sending food back and hate being a trouble and nuisance to the waiter so I didn’t send it back but rather ordered another one but this time with less salt. This next one came out perfect and I’ve realized that the quality of the first one was just horrible compared to the second one. The second one, I was actually able to taste the squid as it was very soft and delicate, but the first one, it was like I was eating dried chewy squid covered in fried batter. My mom and aunt had initially gotten the seafood pasta spaghetti allo scoglio and it came out very salty. We unfortunately had to send it back and asked for a different dish. My dish came out and by the looks of it, it looked like it was sitting out on the expo line for a bit too long as it didn’t look fresh but more so dry and cold. My pasta tasted undercooked as I could see the white line when I bit into the rigatoni. Again, I hate sending back food because I do not want to be nuisance to the waiter and annoy them. I just ended eating a lot of it though as I didn’t want to waste food. One of my family members also got their food about ten minutes after we had all gotten our food. I just turned 21 and ordered a drink for the first time in my life and our waiter did not even check
