    Food portions are very generous and tasted good. Pistachio tiramisu is very unique, not too sweet, very nutty and smooth.

    Food was good. Tasty and interesting . Service was good. I didn't love the decor. I used to love going to this restaurant when it was Cinara because the room reminded me of restaurants in Italy. Not so much anymore. I felt the pasta prices were a bit high compared to other restaurants

    Really nice dinner. Octopus, risotto, sablefish, brisket all very tasty and easy to share too. Tiramisu is a must have here! Thank you for the complementary lemoncello!

    We recently visited the restaurant and it was such a great experience. Tried the chef experience menu and all the dishes were very unique and executed in a very modern way. Gnocchi and ravioli were terrific. The room was full, but the service was excellent, very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely be back. The limoncello on the house at the end was such a lovely surprise. Thank you

    This restaurant was terrible. The service was awful, menu limiting. We ordered starters which never came, our pastas were served luke warm. Even after we sent our food back it returned wrong. A so-called Italian restaurant and it ran out of focaccia bread which one could have purchased for $10. Don’t waste your hard earned money!!
