   Made a reservation for galentines dinner in the lemon patio and had a great time! The lemon patio is so cute and there are heating lamps to help keep you warm. Our server Marco C and the other staff members were very attentive! Even the hostess (I didn’t get her name but she had a lot of tattoos) was so sweet and offered to take pictures of our group for us. The food was fantastic! Since it was happy hour we got a lot of appetizers… we tried the calamari, truffle fries, garlic knots, oysters, brussel sprouts, and cheese wheel pasta! Everything was so good. The only one I wasn’t a fan of was the garlic knots. For my entree I had the Bolognese and that was very tasty! For drinks I tried the aperol spritz and it was yummy! Made me feel like I was back in Italy. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and come back!

   The Parmesan wheel was such a fun experience and the specialty noodle with a great choice. The Rucoletta salad was fine, nothing to rave about. The service was extremely lacking. When I asked our waitress about the complimentary bread, she gave me a lecture on how it’s upon request and it was my first time there, so I wasn’t sure and asked. Even though I heard from friends that visited 1 week earlier that the bread was brought out without question. Our waitress also paid a lot of attention to a table of 8 behind us and we had to ask a few times just to get our water filled. The food and the ambience is what made the dinner great, the service is what will keep me away and try other places before thinking about coming back again.

   I typically refrain from writing reviews and prefer to avoid negativity, but my experience at this restaurant was deeply disappointing. The food was excessively greasy and oily, making it nearly inedible. Additionally, the dining space was cramped, with small tables placed uncomfortably close together, creating an unpleasant atmosphere. We ordered tuna tartare and mozzarella as appetizers, but the mozzarella was of very poor quality. My mother had a steak that was overwhelmingly greasy and difficult to eat, while my octopus dish was equally disappointing, saturated in oil and lacking in flavor. Overall, the experience was far from satisfactory, both in terms of food quality and ambiance. I do not recommend this restaurant.

   Just moved to the neighborhood and we have been here 3 times. The atmosphere in the side patio is really nice especially if you get the firepit table. Service was great! Now to the food, the misto frito was so good with fish, shrimp, and calamari all in a crunchy batter with so much flavor. My fav is the tortelacci di carne with a marsala mushroom cream sauce that makes you want to lick the plate. We also had the rucoleta salad which was good and a lobster bisque that I would definitely get again. The ribeye was a little over cooked but still juciey and tender. The desserts where ok we had the tiramisu and a chocolate cake.

   I had a reservation for the outside patio with the lemon setting, but upon arrival, I was informed that there was no available seating despite being 10 to 15 minutes early. Initially, when I attempted to check in, I was mistakenly told that I had already done so, leading me to believe our reservation was given to someone else. We were eventually seated outside on the street, and it felt like we had no choice but to accept this or face a long wait. The food was cold by the time it reached our table. Given this experience, I would not recommend visiting at night if there's a chance of being seated outside-the food gets cold by the time it gets to your table. Reservations are not honored.

   The food was ok, nothing spectacular. If I go out it’s because I want food I can’t make at home that make my taste buds dance. I could have made these dishes twice as good. The drinks were on point though, nice and strong. I had a espresso martini and a peach cocktail. Ambience was cute, however as a local there’s better Italian restaurants in little Italy. I’ve been here 2 years so still trying some places out but I wouldn’t waste my time going here again.

   It was good overall however the menu is kind of fix menu and it was little bit bothering. The meat was ordered medium rare and ir arrived medium well and by the time they brought out the new dish it was kind of cold.

   I wanted to share feedback about our recent visit. We made a reservation for 4:00 PM and drove over two and a half hours specifically for the cheese wheel experience, as advertised. However, upon arrival, we were informed that it would not be available that day due to overbooking. Given that we were the first guests to arrive, it was disappointing to see others who had booked for the same experience also turned away, with many ultimately deciding to leave. While we understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, clearer communication and transparency about availability would have allowed us to adjust our plans accordingly. We hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests.

    Food was not great and did not taste authentic at all. Overpriced and not high quality ingredients. Ambiance was nice though
