We came here on a recommendation of a friend. First impressions before we sat down was great. The atmosphere reminds me of being in Little Italy in New York. They were very busy which to me is a good sign. There were four of us. We ordered a round of cocktails and two appetizers, the Calamari and Mussels . Both were great although the timing was off between the two. Our Cocktails came after the appetizers which we thought was odd however, not too big a deal. We ordered our mains and I asked to have a glass of Cabernet with my Pappardelle “Beaulognese” my husband ordered the Arrabiata one of our friends ordered the Carbonara and the other the Gnocchi. The Arrabiata and Gnocchi were great although heavy salted. My Pappardelle came out bland, undercook (not al dente ) the sauce though… what sauce?? It was just bland ground meat on bland noodles. We asked if we could have a side of Marinara which was brought out quickly in an attempt to make my dish taste better. Unfortunately, it tasted like it was from a jar and could not save the dish. We ended up sending back the Carbonara and Pappardelle. Our server Tucker was amazing and gracious to us he gave us top tier service the entire night. He explained to us that it was a rough night for them all around which I can have sympathy for. However, when we sent back the two dishes. We were met with who I assume is the owner (an older gentleman) came over apologized, comp’d the two dishes which was much appreciated. He asked for feedback on why were not satisfied. I explained to him the lack of flavor/sauce, undercooked pasta, and the intense amount of salt in the carbonara. To which we were met with an attitude and we could tell he was trying his best to bite his tongue and choosing his response carefully.Overall we may try this place again and maybe we will catch them on a better night.Oh… and that glass of wine I ordered… never came.

Top notch food and drinks. It's a pretty small restaurant so the servers really pay attention to their tables

Everything was amazing ?. Papperdelle Bolognese was ok.
From the Octopus and Brussel Sprouts appetizers to the Tiramisu , Lemoncelo, and Chocolate Cake desserts, this monthly women's dineout group of six was not to be disappointed!! A round table was perfect. Main dishes were all excellent and the ? ? were perfect. Suggest Sazerac and Coffee Martini! Our waiter and other staff made us feel special!

Great place for a date night. Every tasted amazing.
First time here. Our reservation was at 7pm. Which I think was late for this restaurant. Because the food was good but hurried and the noodles were cold and hard. Although we had an awesome appetizer.

We enjoy dinners there,however.....the Easter brunch was extra special!!!
Have dined here as part of a couple and also with a party of 6 and both times were lucky enough to be taken care of by Taylor. He is wonderful! Great knowledge of menu and drink offerings, attentive without being intrusive and great sense of humor. I don’t think you can ever choose wrong if you choose to dine here. Highly recommend! (If bread is your thing, definitely try their house made focaccia. You won’t regret it.)

We tried a number of dishes and nothing was spectacular. Our service was incredible and the sommelier on staff was helpful. We came for a friend's birthday and they celebrated her which I appreciate. If just on service they'd have five stars but for Italian food there are other options. We made a reservation and had to wait 45 minutes for our table.

Don't pass this place up. Make sure you get Salad with the prosciutto + Mozzarella di bufala because the prosciutto is top-notch. I wonder if they make it in-house. The seating could be better spaced, sitting next to people with noxious odors is ruinous to one's meal. It happens. Not everyone is obsessively body-aware. Our server seemed a little overwhelmed (certainly not her fault) which could have been remedied with an eye to careful staffing. One of our guests ordered the lamb rack and at $35 I was surprised at the underwhelming quality of the cut. I am glad I did not order that. Tweek a few things and this could be the WOW house of little Italy!

Some of the best Italian food I have ever had. Had three desserts and they were all delicious!! Ate at the bar today. Small but the same great food.
