    I made a reservation for 815pm for 2 people. We did not get seated until after 915pm. The ordered the risotto porcini. The mushrooms in the risotto were so tough i couldn’t not chew or even cut through them. I came out to celebrate my 35th birthday and it was a total bust from the wait time and the food. The server we did give good service. I understood that the wait time was not his fault.

    We had a reservation and still had to wait an hour for our table. Once we was seated it took another 20 minutes for a waitress to come over and that’s because we stopped someone. The food was okay, the bread is good but the service is mediocre. I won’t be returning

    Honestly better than I expected for the location. It’s just hard in those blocks to create an ambience of a welcoming warm restaurant, which they have pulled off. The food was quite good. The service some what rushed. Love that this is BYO.

    The food is always good. A great “red gravy” meal if you wish. My comfort food is always there. Service is very attentive.

    Our dinner was incredible! There was nothing we ordered we didn’t like. The arancini was delicious and the perfect size. I got the chicken Parmesan Rosa, my husband got the veal ama, and my in-laws got the veal parm and penne vodka. WOW! So good!! And the decorations were beautiful!

    We were seated right by the kitchen so we got the brunt of the kitchen energy and rush as waitstaff were running food around. But this restaurant is great! Food was amazing and came out HOT, we love a byob, and our waiter was attentive. We’ll be back.
