The food was ok but the service was poor - not opening cans of soda, leaving empty plates and glasses on small table, bread never arrived but was on the bill.

Our meal was extremely underwhelming. Ordered bread, server forgot. Ordered again and they didn’t give you anything with it? No butter, cup of olive oil or anything. The mussels were fishy, we ate a few and our server took them away without asking if they were bad which was weird, but fine. The cesar salad was good. Then we got the spicy vodka rigatoni with chicken. Also lacking flavor. The chicken was like diced chipotle size chicken it didn’t really fit the meal and $12? For what. Overall, not worth the price or a visit back. There has to be better options around.

Nice neighborhood feel to this place. Enjoyed the calamari appetizer and pizza. It is close to my hotel and I will definitely go back. It does get loud as it fills up.
