Extremely disappointed. Worst risotto I’ve ever had! It was overcooked and mushy, tasted like fishy oatmeal. Trashed the whole thing. The other pasta we ordered had a long black hair in it. They completely forgot to pack the dessert in the order. Overall a big waste of time and money.

Dimmed environment, service friendly. Not sure if you are supposed to have a reservation, because the first questioned was " did you have a reservation?" We said no they said " just a moment". There were two tables filled with two guests a piece. It had maybe 12 tables and three booths.We ordered spaghetti vegetarian, the chicken and my nephew ordered buttered noodles. Service was great, attentive and nice. The food was hearty but for me, no flavor. It's always good to try something once but everyone has different taste buds.If you are looking for a nice quite place with great service and people this is the place.

I did take out and WOW!! I cannot wait to come back and try more from the menu. I ordered the Spaghetti Affumicato, cheese bread and Polenta y Funghi. It came with two slices of the softest rosemary bread. Delicious! 9/10.. price is as expected for good Italian. Portion sizes are shareable. My spaghetti is enough for two hungry adults. Spaghetti doesn’t have a ton of flavor .. wine sauce, feta, chicken and artichoke hearts. Very tasty though! Not overwhelming. The polenta - if you’ve never tried it .. try it here! It’s Italian corn meal with cheese, garlic and mushrooms and I’m telling you definitely a reason it’s their top dish! Cheese bread and sauce is very basic. I’d skip it .. Rosemary bread I need more of!! Very happy with this new find for me. I’ll be back to try more.

I'm surprised that the authorities don't look at the cockroach infestation in their kitchen, I found a leg in my food and I just left the place after that.

The restaurant is not very good looking. The bathrooms are mostly dirty. The bread was cold and hard. Some of it was wet. We knew we made a mistake but we were already there. So we ordered pizzas. They do lot have a outer crust. The cheese was still solid on top as of recently unfrozen. The pizza taste reminded me of frozen pizza from the market. It was very salty. The taste was very bad. Unfortunately I did not like it.

I'm kind of a foodie and Italian so I always have high expectations. I found a Groupon for this place and decided to check them out with my best friend. I am so glad I did. The Groupon is so affordable. You get a bottle of wine, an appetizer, two entrées and a dessert to share. It's a great deal and a way to bring in customers cause I probably wouldn't have heard about this place otherwise. OK on to the food. We had her surprise us on the appetizer and she brought us the mushroom and cheese polenta. It's definitely not something I would have ordered so I'm glad that she surprised us with it because it was so much better than I expected. It was hot and creamy and rich and flavorful. Just super good but I guess for me I just felt like it should've been served on something or with some thing like a cracker... I don't know. ‍. So then I had the gnocchi Gorgonzola. I love gnocchi and Gorgonzola and they're very hard to find together. I ordered it and I was so so pleased. The gnocchi was so light and fluffy and oh my God, they melted in my mouth. It was heaven and I might have moaned, just a lil'' tho. . My friend had the chicken marsala. She makes it quite a bit and she didn't totally care for it. I think she makes it with more of a brown wine sauce, and this was more of a white cream sauce, but the flavor was good. We shared a salad and we got a cannoli to go for dessert. Damn, that thing was bomb even though we ate it an hour later. Someone licked the container. Not naming names but it wasn't me. . The service was great. I don't have one complaint about this place. I'm definitely gonna go back and you should too.
