Had a reservation on Thursday and got to the restaurant for it to be closed. No one called or texted to inform us. Extremely poor service and unprofessional. Will not be coming back here. Do not recommend.

J'ai réservé au restaurant jeudi soir pour 17h30, journée de tempête au froid glacial. Mon amie et moi sommes arrivé aux alentours de 17h20, l'entrée n'était pas visible et aucune porte ne semblait être ouverte. J'ai téléphoné au restaurant et c'est alors qu'on m'a dit qu'il fermait pour la journée car le chef était malade. Je ne comprends donc pas pour quelle raison je n'avais pas été informé. Je me suis fait répondre qu'on m'avait téléphoné plus tôt par contre étant au travail à l'heure de l'appel je n'ai pu répondre. Le jeune homme m'a donc informé qu'il n'a pas laissé de message car la plupart des personnes ne les écoutes pas .. Je travaille dans le service à la clientèle et pour moi c'est inacceptable comme service. De plus, ayant réservé sur la plateforme open table, le restaurateur aurait dû annuler notre réservation, de ce fait un courriel nous aurait avisé! Nous nous sommes déplacé dans des conditions pas très idéale, avons payé le parcomètre pour ne pas manger. Je ne recommande pas !

The truffle pizza was good. The Parpadelle I got was so thin, soggy and mushy . I prefer al dente pasta . The truffle gnocchi was so bland and has no texture to it. Overall I think the food was 2/5 but I give 3 stars because the service was good.

Although we went on a holiday and the manager expressed being understaffed, this was the worst experience I have ever had dinning. Some minimal service practices would have made me overlook the 1 hour wait between appetizers and mains. We ended up leaving before receiving them because a table that arrived after we had finished our appetizers received the same items (pizza and pasta) that we had ordered, before us. wrong drinks being brought, no bread brought after requested, water not hit the table until 30 min in. Manager gave two rounds of shot 2 hours into the service, which was appreciated but not replaced having the food on the table. I hate writing a bad review and I hope this was caused solely due to the short staffing but in my opinion their staff should be retrained to better approach situation like these.

The staff is amazing they're so welcoming and nice and you genuinely feel like they're happy to be there. It was a simple nye dinner but it couldn't have gone any better. Super impressed.

We went for our reservation and the restaurant was closed. We had to look for another restaurant on Christmas eve. It would have been good the restaurant didn't accept reservations on Christmas eve if they were not going to be open.

Where do I begin.. When you look at the restaurent, it looks super classy and has a really nice vibe with a live DJ playing lounge music.The waitress / hostess was super friendly and provided a nice service. We were seated & a group of people arrived maybe 30/45 mins after us which seemed like they knew the chef and got food served to their table within minutes of getting there. At this point, we have already been waiting for 30 mins or so to get our entrees which BTW they sell 1 piece entrees for 8$. Yes actually 1 piece. After waiting and seeing the people next to us kept getting new orders coming to their table, we asked the waitress if our order was placed.. she assured us our order was placed and apologized for the delay and offered us bread on her. Maybe after another half hour the food arrived… we order the filet mignon and veal chop. First… both were cooked so bad that they had no taste whats so ever and was soooooo hard to cut into… second, the sauces for both meals were SOOO salted that we both couldn’t finish our meals… I’ve been with my husband for 12 years and I’ve never seen him not finish a plate of meat before. Never again. Save your money. Not worth it.

Really upsetting experience. The dishes were disgustingly and visibly dirty. The food was good although the service was horrible. Management was extremely rude to us, and tables around us. Saddened about this experience, and will not be returning.

Service was extremely slow. We had to wait an hour and a half to get two drinks from the bar. The food was delivered without cutlery. By the time they provided the cutlery 15 minutes later the food was cold. Overall very disappointed.

Excellent italian food with a mediterranian twist. Friendly service. My family came for a celebration so I could try several dishes. Tried the swordfish carpaccio, really incredible! The gnocchi with pesto, great, the double truffle pasta, amazing! The octopus, really good and the pizza, really good thin crust pizza. Parking not easy on the street, achivable but have to work on itParking: Not easy street parking. Have to look for a spot.

We had the burratta salad, focaccia bites, the truffle pasta, the truffle pizza and the panna cotta. The burratta was delish, however me and my mom both hated the focaccia bites. They tasted like the oil they had been fried in was off (why are we even frying focaccia first of all) however everything else was delish. Interesting presentation, trendy vibe, overall a cute place. Service was great too. I would say a little too expensive for what you’re getting though.

Honestly, it wasn't anything special. My friends liked the pasta but the 2 pizzas we ordered, 5 fromaggi and truffle pizza, werent fantastic for the price you pay. The cheese pizza was extremely salty and the truffle tasted like nothing. Very bland. Wouldn't recommend it. It's too bad. Also, the place is kinda filthy. Spider webs all over the ceiling and corners. The bathrooms were not in great shape. Can't imagine the kitchen? Who knows...
