As one of the top rated restaurants in the city I was expecting more of a "foodie" experience. While the food was very good, the waiter was fairly mediocre, and I wasn't thrilled about the venue playing host to the "after work crowd". It was sort of like an expensive version of Joey's but with better food. All said, I will give it a second chance, but maybe after 7:30 when it will be more about eating and less about carousing.

Great service and food. Only feedback would be that is seemed like tables were being next to each other when there were many free other tables that were unfilled that could have been leveraged to space out lunch guests.

Food was incredible as expected. The service was a little clunky and slow to get any drinks (including water refills). I think that is just a function of freshly opening. Would absolutely return!

I love coming here! It was my first time and the atmosphere and environment was beautiful. Next time I will try to patio cause that was decorated beautifully. The food was amazing. My favorite was definitely the fritelle. Absolutely amazing, light and lemony and not too sweet. Even though one of the cakes was definitely burnt it still tasted great. I tried one of their pizzas and the calamari. Both pretty tasty. I had two kids with with me, 2 and 6 and they do have high chairs available. Also if you get a chance try their gelato they sell outside! SOOOO GOOD

Overall, it was ok. The server was super nice but the service from back of house and the bar to the table was extremely slow. The specialty pasta that they prepare table side @ $72 for two is not worth the money for very average pasta. The seafood board - although pricey - was extremely well prepared and none of the seafood was over cooked.

Went here for Mother's Day and ended up being very disappointed. We ordered spicy pizza and there were 0 hints of spice and 0 hints of the meat that was supposed to be there. My mom ordered the sausage pasta and it was too salty for her to finish. The noise level was also very high. The server was so slow as well. Took 1:15-1:20 mins before our food arrived at the table. If I could give this restaurant 0 stars, I would.

Had the brunch special for mother's day which includes an entree, mimosas, and a bombolone. I had the TAGLIATA DI MANZO (steak, eggs, potatoes, and black truffle) and my spouse had the RIBOLLITA E SALSICCIA (Tuscan stew with braised white bean, Barese sausage, dandelion, potato, tomato, fried eggs). Both were delicious and the service was excellent. The mimosas were pleasantly strong and the bombolone with nutella was delicious. I would recommend the brunch special for anyone considering it.
