Really great food from my part. I had short ribs which were tender and cooked perfectly. My husbard ordered a pizza, and while the crust was excellent, he said something about the anchovies tasted "off." He removed them from the pizza and I gave him some of my cippolini to replace them. Would have been a higher score except for the anchovies.

We’ve eaten at this restaurant before and we love the food. The ingredients are always fresh and the menu is quite interesting. I’m probably the only person on the planet that dreams about having trippa. It did not disappoint. However, on this particular occasion, the waiter was absolutely awful. In fact, the little guy that filled our water glasses was more helpful than our waiter. The server never checked on us. He never followed up. It took forever to get the check we still tipped him, but we were very reluctant to do so.

To be fair it was a mob scene and a very loud environment, so it was hard for the service team to communicate in those conditions … but she got the job done … they missed delivering a couple of dishes and we experienced an awkward exchange with a food runner trying to explain/confirm something in broken English and we just had to nod in the affirmative until he left the salad and went away … small stuff in the big picture … food was totally great except for an undercooked mushroom pizza (and the fava purée with dandelion green was under seasoned) but the pork chop and short rib were excellent … love the place and will definitely return
