    Disappointed despite the hype. I was really excited to try this place after hearing great things, but unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations. We ordered the cheese board, mussels, lamb pasta, and a couple of cocktails—nearly $300 for a meal that felt underwhelming. The pasta was overcooked, and nothing really stood out. Definitely not worth the price. Won’t be returning.

    Gnocci and cacio pepe were outstanding tomatos out of season needed grape tomato in salad to give some sweetness

    Let me start by saying the mushrooms were insanely good. But $15+ for two mushrooms is kind of crazy. The rest of the food was just ok. Ambience was great, cute spot. Will definitely do it again, but will try and do something that’s more with it.
