Ths food was great but honestly the staff are what made this place great. They were all very friendly and professional. They helped a disabled customer with patience and kindness, my waiter gave me a drink on him because he forgot to bring it the first time which ofcourse wasn't even a big deal to me so he absolutely did not have to do that for me. We were the last customers of the night but they never made us feel anything but welcome to be there, never pushy to get us out so they could pack up and go home themselves.The staff here deserves credit for what they do.

Food was average for the price. Burrata was good. Bolognese was average. Gnocchi was just a bit gummy but the sauce was really good. Lobster ravioli was ok.Wheelchair accessibility: Outside seating. There were heaters. Indoor seating was up a flight of stairs. Did not see an elevator.

Nice place to go, so cosy inside, but i rather dont like the entrance, little bit funny.Parking: Parking lot beside the RestaurantKid-friendliness: We come with kid, good service from waiter
Tasted like I was eating my Italian mother-in-law's pasta! So good!! We had the bruschetta, burrata and prosciutto salad, lobster ravioli, spinach ravioli with vodka sauce, gnocchi with sausage and kids spaghetti. First, the portions are very generous! My daughter finished the spinach ravioli but the rest of us had 1/2 our dish to take home. I was hesitant about the sausage in the gnocchi, it was probably the best sausage I've ever had! Our server was lovely and had a lot of patience as we pursued the menu. The entire staff was there before you needed anything, but not to the point where they interrupted our conversation. We were hesitant to eat here because so many other places looked more updated, but I'm so glad we didn't change our reservations and go somewhere else!! We sat on the patio (although upstairs looked really cute). We will definitely be back!

Good food and not a long wait. No issue inside the restaurant besides outside with this host. I hope she respects others. She will not be appreciated next time.. unfortunately do not tolerate rude host not doing their job correctly with polite and kindness. The host to check in outside was not polite. Did not catch her name besides a picture she said yes to take with her smirk. She was rude to our group. We ordered plates and wine. Loved the noodles. Great atmosphere will be there again but will not accpet this ladys smart remarks and terrible service as a host.
We are visiting Little Italy and saw the restaurant on Open Table and after reading the reviews wanted to try it. Our waitress was Natasha and she was great. All her suggestions about favorite wine and dishes were right on target. The food and wine were very good. We would definitely dine here again. We enjoyed our dinner in the upstairs which was comfortable and nicely decorated.

Wonderful small restaurant with cool decor and great atmosphere. Every person who served us was personable and really listened to what our needs and wants were. The food was good but was bland and needed spices and herbs. The bread would have been much better warm. Worth a try, but definitely make reservations as seating is very limited.
Server was very diligent as to make sure my dates food allergies were met with care. Also very friendly and made us feel welcome to not rush. The food was delicious and prepared perfect. Highly recommend this spot.

We had reservations and there was a small wait. The staff made sure to keep us up to date on our table. To keep the patrons happy they handed out some champagne, which they didn't need to do, but it was a nice touch. Our waitress and staff were kind and the food was served hot. Overall a nice place to eat. Will come back again.

food was SO good! i've been here before and coming back i was excited to see that other dishes were just as good as the one i got last time. a little sad to see that the pesto chicken pasta was gone but what i got was also phenomenal!

Nothing screams amazing. It was Valentine's Day and they seem overbooked all night because the reservations had to wait in line for 30+ min to be seated. Hostess was rude but tried to make up for it when she noticed we were upset that we were going to be seated outside at 8pm with no heater. There was nothing stating there would be outside seating or we would have been more prepared. Our waiter...He was awesome. Great attitude, very helpful and provided outstanding service. I'd hire him in a second. Food was well above average. Not the best but better than most Italian places I've had in SD so far. Still looking for that place I NEED to go back to.

Had a reservation for 7:30 did not sit until 8:00. Checked in at 7:30 but was then told to wait in line on the sidewalk. Asked what was going on and they said they were giving tables based on time of check in, so basically it was first come first serve and the reservation meant nothing. Food was okay, but not worth standing on the sidewalk in the cold for 30 minutes.
