    We had an amazing meal here with a party of 8 including 2 little kids and 2 tweens. Great quiet space with large windows for people watching. The food was amazing. Everyone enjoyed their meals even our picky eaters and their desserts were exceptional. We appreciated the good service too and kind staff.

    We were seated in the back room and it was exceptionally tight and noisy. Too many tables for the space. So loud, you couldn’t hear yourself think, let alone have conversation with people at our table. Food and service was good but completely destroyed by the ambiance. BYOB is a negative.

    Right before the holiday, we went to have an early dinner. We were seated in the back room where you can easily have a large party. I wished that the calamari was crispier but the linguini with meat sauce was tasty. It really helps that the restaurant is BYOB.

    Tables too small for food - things fall off, pushing to hurry you out, and the rush ruins the dinner.

    The special Lemon sole was disappointing and not worth the price. Although the portion was substantial, the taste and texture was suboptimal

    Great Italian food and service!! They found the perfect balance of creamy but not too rich for the cream sauces and carbonara.
