Cute place. Food was good. Service was little slow. Porchetta portion is very large. Definitely enough to share. Squid ink pasta was delicious. Crispy octopus appetizer was also delicious.

Love the décor.. good food. Pasta portion size is perfect if you are not looking for Cheesecake factory type of serving. We started with their fritto misto (fried seafood platter). It was delicious. I would have loved if they have some kind of dipping sauce. Regardless, it was great with just lemon. For dinner, I had the squid ink pasta. It was so good, but I would say that the sauce was slightly saltier than I normally eat. Overall, it was a good meal. Highly recommend this place.

I had a nice time but I think it could be even better! I really loved the food. There was so much flavor. I even loved the free bread they serve (and that's rare). It was warm and dense and crumby, which I love. I'd buy that bread. I also loved the frito misto. So flavorful and so fresh. However, I thought the food portions could be bigger. Even the pasta dishes were not that big. I love big portions! And I didn't find them here. The ambiance is fine, but I think it would be a little better. I was a little confused about the design of the entrance (why is there a fake balcony thing that no one is using?). But I love the hard wood floors. I thought they had really good (and fast!) service, but it wasn't super memorable for me.

After having been to Italy, the thought of homemade pasta was very appealing. The pasta itself was very good, the sauces used in the dishes we ordered were over powering. The garlic in one dish completely took over the flavor of anything else on the plate. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was nice.

The menu looked great so we were excited to try the restaurant. But it was meh. The newer/annex part of the restaurant was pretty sterile and didn't have the same mojo as the main room. Apparently the shrimp is fried in the same oil as everything else so my son's options were limited, as he is allergic to shellfish. The waitress just didn't like us, it was pretty obvious. She couldn't wait to get us out of there. The swordfish was super salty. Finally, the $19 vin santo I had for dessert was corked, tasted terrible. I didn't send it back, because while I may send back overcooked steak, which is obviously bad, weird tasting (but expensive) wine, is a lot more subjective, so I just left a bunch of it.

Wonderful meal with a well rounded wine list to accompany the food. Sara was an informed, friendly and excellent waitperson with assist by other staff. Several starters, pastas and one entree to share with the 4 of us. The desserts were creative and delicious.

Overall it was a good experience. The "Porchetta, Hearth Roasted New Potatoes, Balsamico Vecchio" was not what I expected and I won't order it again. It was nearly all fat and bone with very little real meat. The waitress told me the the fat was meant to be eaten but that she wouldn't eat it either. (Not much of an endorsement.) My wife had the night's tuna special which was beautiful when served. The tuna was overcooked though which made it less enjoyable. We also tried the Eggplant Parmigiana. It was beautifully served and quite good.Our three selections from the Antipasti menu were all excellent. I especially liked the Arancini which melted in my mouth. Very tasty!If we decide to come back, I think we'll stick to the Antipasti selections.

My second visit to this restaurant and possibly my last. The first was several years ago. I recalled being pleased by each dish ordered and great service. This time I found the items over priced for the small portion sizes and a long wait for hot food ( over half an hour) when the restaurant was less than half filled. The beet salad, which came out quickly, was absolutely wonderful but the roasted butternut squash was undercooked and Spaghettini aglio e olio was not at all enjoyable - strong olio with no detectable aglio. Overall the service was good because multiple staff cover the tables. Our main server, however, appeared disgruntled - perhaps because we did not order drinks and more food? Do not plan to return anytime soon.

Absolutely delicious meal! We particularly loved the arancini and tagliatelle with ragu. Our server, Lauren, was so gracious, professional, and knowledgeable.
