    Great Italian food with several pasta dishes. Always get the Giant Meatball starter. Wonderful service. You feel a little packed in with tables tight together and rather noisy. Overall very good spot in Short North.

    First the positive, service was great and our server was very friendly. However, the food was not good. The lasagna was all dried out and tasted like it was made days before it was served. The Italian wedding soup app had not cooked completely. The orzo was still very hard.

    This is our first time eating at this restaurant. It is a beautiful place. The location is good but I think you have to do street parking. The seating are comfortable, some tables are small and we were seated close to the kitchen so there was a lot of traffic. The food was very good. Our server was excellent. The salmon was very good and so the pasta. The drinks were OK. I am very particular about my Old Fashion. I do not like small ice cubes in my drinks and this is what my Old Fashion came in. No cherry either,
