    Food was exceptional. We tried three dishes, all vegetarian, and turned out to be different in flavors. Would highly recommended the Gnnochi mushroom truffle antipasto Service was quick. Ambience was nice but the setup of the place does invite a lot of chatter noise.

    Great evening and pizza dinner, preceded by a scrumptious pear salad. The noise level was quite high, but otherwise all good

    Really enjoyed our celebration dinner. Great service and amazing host. Nooria was very helpful and Argent (our server) was very courteous. He went above and beyond to ensure that we were taken care of.

    The portions are skimpy for the main dishes, especially considering the prices. Our service was excellent tonight.

    An excellent evening. It has become a much more expensive restaurant post-pandemic (Bistecca for $75!), but the food is excellent and the service friendly and efficient. The only quibble was that the busboy took our water glasses without asking if we were finished. Otherwise, no complaints.
