I had some spaghetti with seafood my date had this penne with chicken and cream sauce...it wasn't bad but I just can't help but think I could recreate it at home very easily for how much it cost....if I pay 30 bucks for pasta it's gotta be impressive anyway...idk

Wont recommend this place as not really accommodating. We know we don’t have a reservation but didn’t get an opportunity to just sit in the bar to wait for a table to be available. We were being to force to sit in the outside table. There was a rude lady waitress shouting on us. 1st impression will last..:

Very nice dinner here. Seated right away. Service was just a tad bit slow, but not horrible. I ordered lasagna, which was very tasty. Overall, it was a good dining experience. I will definitely come back.Parking: Not many parking options. Try the social services lot off Julian St. Might have luck there.

Very tasty and well priced location for Italian food in a romantic and intimate setting. Reservations are definitely recommended for here, every table was full while we were there for most of the time, but service and food was still quick.We tried both the gnocchi alla genovese and the farfalle volcano for dinner with the tiramisu for dessert. Pre-dinner bread was average, but the dipping oil was really tasty and well seasoned. The two pastas were really tasty and well portioned. The gnocchi was very soft and definitely tasted house-made, though slightly watery and not as tough of a consistency as other gnocchi has tasted - not to say it tasted bad though, it was still quite good! The farfalle was amazing, the balance of pasta, meat, and tomatoes was spot on with surprisingly tasty mushrooms and a sweet sauce. The tiramisu was slightly watery as well towards the inside, but overall very tasty and the cream was delicious. Interestingly, the whipped cream with the tiramisu was a highlight with a strong vanilla bean flavor that complimented the tiramisu well.The atmosphere is very romantic with soft, warm lighting and many small decorations outside (with heaters as well). This location feels very fancy without a crazy high price point by adding little touches that make the place stand out, such as the waiter bringing a representative tray of the desserts to choose from. The inside bar doesn't match the atmosphere of the rest of the location.Parking: There is free street parking ~7 minute walk towards the performing arts center after 6pm

Visited here for my wife's birthday. The experience was very nice, our server was helpful and diligent. All of the food came out relatively quickly and everything was really good.I got the gnocchi and although I found it to be softer than I would typically like the sauce it was in made up for it.

Great Food & Great Service. Nice wine list too - not overwhelming but has lots of good options. Full house when we were there so a bit noisy so if you are looking for quiet & romantic this was not the place. Otherwise a great option!

We went there for my birthday and it was the worst experience.Food was blend, limited vegetarian options which were served blend. Service was also not exceptional- they brought the food cold. Didn’t care to check on us. The atmosphere wasn’t romantic- it was just very typical.This place wasn’t worth the price they are charging.

I've dined here before for my birthday and thought this place was amazing! So, I made reservations here for my parent's anniversary. They absolutely loved the food. Staff was super friendly and incredibly kind and helpful in coordinating with me about paying for their dinner. Dad loved the seafood plate. Practically licked it clean! Would be coming back for sure!

This might be the best gnocchi I have EVER eaten. The most melty pillowy potato puffs. We sat on the patio which was made extra cozy by greenery and heaters. Service was immaculate. Will hopefully be able to return next time I am in the area for work. Thank you!

5 for service and atmosphere, 3 for food, 2 for drinks. Great attentive staff and I loved the cozy environment. We had two pasta dishes that were decent and good portions, our bruschetta app was lacking flavor, the complimentary bread tasted old. Finally, the wine selection was decent, but I was most disappointed in my cocktail which was a Moscow mule. It was flat and lacking flavor, ice, and cost $18. So that was a huge disappointment.
