    Small restaurant, very cute decoration. People were very very loud. Services was good, random paper menus. Service was good/normal. In the memo I wrote that it was my wedding anniversary nothing special was made to celebrate us, definitely not a place for a wedding anniversary, just casual diner spot

    We discovered this restaurant six months ago, and it has quickly become one of our favorites. We’ve returned numerous times since, and every visit has been exceptional. The staff is outstanding—always warm, attentive, and professional. The food is simply delectable, and the service is consistently top-notch. Most recently, they went above and beyond to make my daughter’s birthday celebration extra special at the last minute. Our server, Juan, was an absolute delight, and management personally checked in to ensure everything was perfect. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the evening truly memorable.

    Server Juan and the rest of the staff are excellent. We had bruschetta, arugula salad, cacio e pepe, pasta bolognese, shrimp, cannoli, cafe latte. All were excellent except shrimp were a little mushy. We love this place and will retry

    We were seated quickly once arriving. Our food was great, we ordered the lasagna bolognese and a pizza. The lychee martini was quite strong but manageable. Our waiter Nico was very attentive and polite. Overall such a great experience and will be coming back.

    Everyone it was extremely friendly. They were able to accommodate us by getting us a table once we arrived even though we had a reservation for the bar. Thank you!

    Good food, good service! The space was smaller than I anticipated so I can imagine if busy it would have been loud, but it was not too busy for us! Would go back.

    My husband and I dined here hoping for a relaxed date night. Relaxed was beyond what we received. Our table wasn’t ready inside so we were invited to wait at the bar or sit outside. Slightly after getting seated a very large party arrived and their table also was not ready. As a result they asked the party to wait outside directly within less than arms length of my husband and I’s table. Needless to say it became very difficult to enjoy or hear our own conversation over the loudness of the crowd. As far as the actual food, it was OK. The calamari was crispy and Caesar salad was fine. However, we waited long periods and even had to request refills on our water. Our cacio e Pepe was watery to say the least. So much so, hot liquid flung from the cheese bowl onto me as the server prepared it for our plates. The taste was very bland. Overall as we observed other issues with the service experienced by other tables we realized there is likely a management issue. Not sure if we caught them on a bad night but I won’t be returning.

    We were there for a Birthday dinner and were a party of 7. When done with dinner the server came up to us and asked us to leave because they needed our table for another reservation even though we also made a reservation. This was asked right after we had just completed singing “Happy Birthday” and were still eating the dessert. We just felt rushed to leave even though we were trying to have a calm night.
