This is really such a lovely place, wonderful outdoor space and a lovely indoor dining room. And somehow, even when full, the noise level is manageable. There were four of us and the food was excellent! Not surprising because this has been our experience on previous visits. Our main issue, however, is that there were simply not enough employees to handle the regular crowd plus a huge table outdoors, easily 16 people. The staff was hustling like crazy and very apologetic about the long waits for drinks, entrees and desserts but they were simply overwhelmed. The big table clearly had a reservation because it was all set up when we arrived. With that kind of a large group there should have been extra staff on hand. It definitely impacted our experience. We are looking at this as a one time experience and plan to return again. But there are lessons to be learned!

The beet salad was so yummy. They were willing to split it in the back for me and my husband. The crispy chicken is delicious and not too heavy of a dish. My husband had the burger and said it was great. Our friends split the cacio y Peppi pasta special served table side-yummy!! For dessert the table split the chocolate chip bread pudding- such a cute presentation! My only wish is they offered decaf espresso drinks to go with it.

Not been there in quite some time I was surprised how empty it was, but once I saw the prices, I understood why people stop going there. Then with the exorbitant prices, you’d expect to have exceptional service and phenomenal food either which was the case. Don’t feel like I need to come back here anytime soon.
