    Came here to celebrate valentines. Not only did the waiter go above and beyond, but the whole place was so accommodating. We ended up being the last people there to enjoy our amazing food, great wine selection and wonderful jazz music. 10/10 would come back to this cozy gem

    This was our second time dining here. We loved it just as much this time as we did before. The pastas are incredibly fresh (and not over sauced with heavy ingredients) and the pizzas have that perfect wood fired taste. But the highlight this time was the service. Our hostess said she could easily accommodate our request for a window table (of note, the window seats overlook Ground Zero and have breathtaking views) if we didn’t mind waiting 20 minutes at the bar. We did that and enjoyed 4 different wines between the 4 of us. We highly recommend the Barolo. The wait was definitely worth it because we were seated in the corner window table that felt spacious and had a fabulous view. Next we were introduced to our server Ronnie who was fabulous at helping us navigate the menu and made our overall experience top notch. Ronnie’s service was impeccable, always around when we were ready to order, but not hovering, and a fun personality as well. We highly recommend eating here next time you are downtown.
