   Showed up for a 5:45 reservation. Had 2 different servers who were very sweet and one who was particularly informative about the menu. 3 people, ordered only 1 app (rice balls) and a plate of food for each person. Also got a bottle of wine that was on sale. We got our rice balls which were just 2 rice balls. Took around maybe 20-25 mins to come out. Our food took nearly 50-60 minutes to come out. It was 6:47 when I looked at my watch once I started eating. The dish was pretty good but nothing extraordinary. The carbonara was surprisingly plain. Only the gnocchi in a red sauce was exceptional. Overall not worth the 170$ tab for 1 app and 3 plates of food that took an hour to be served. I don’t plan on going back and I wouldn’t recommend, especially not a Saturday evening.

   The food was amazing and that’s this place’s saving grace. The restaurant is very dark and it’s a bit hard to see the menu without using the torch on your phone. Tables are crammed in tightly together so it’s a bit difficult to navigate. Hostesses were polite and accommodating. Our waiter was MIA throughout most of our meal. Did not refill drinks timely. Offered no bread, no cheese on the pasta dishes, no recommendations or suggestions, and no charm or friendliness whatsoever. We had the calamari and zucchini as appetizers and both were tasty. The limoncello spritz was nice. All of our entrees were delicious and generously portioned: the salmon, linguine pesto, rigatoni vodka, and chicken parm. It’s unfortunate the service doesn’t match the quality of the food.

   I went here for my Valentine’s Day and everything went so smoothly and it was so easy. The staff did a great job. And the food was outstanding . The drinks came out fast too. I got the Bocca spritz, the rice balls, and the Seabass.  All of it was delicious

    The food was delicious. The service was horrendous. Cute for a date or meet up. We went as a family and the wait time between drinks, ordering, never even being offered dessert menu when we wanted to order dessert… the whole thing was a mess. But the food was good. lol.
