   Food and service was great. Christmas eve is usually a fixed menu which is notmally a standard menu item. This was surprising as the regular menu was being offered we sdrived a little early and we were seated but not rused every item was hot and fresh and the service is what we have come to expect great all around

   First time to the restaurant. Lovely main dining room ambiance. Great service from our Italian waiter. Starters: Burrata & Prosciutto was excellent Fritto Misto- very good Entrees: Strozzapreti- so-so. Nothing special Gnocchi- not good. Over cooked, rubbery. Don’t recommend Enzo's Favorite Branzino- excellent Dessert: PANNA COTTA- excellent Pistacchio Cake- excellent. Moist and delicious Cannolo Siciliano- not great. Dry Drinks: ROSSINI- nice, refreshing PAPER PLANE- pretty good POSITANO ESPRESSO MARTINI- tasty Overall, great evening. I am glad we sat inside vs outside. We will be back to try the lunch menu.

   Very nice waitress very accommodating. I liked the fact that they split our salads in the kitchen. We ordered bread for the table- no great shakes- Very nice meal and pace of dinner.

   Very expensive for the quality. I was there with friends and tried their dishes too and nothing we ordered was super good. Just okay. We were seated in a plastic covered patio and it was raining so it was loud and the ground was quite wet. I can see how this might be a cute place on a sunny day. I also didn’t like that they charge you for employee health care. Sheesh-as if the prices weren’t enough! When I asked about my dish not being very good, my waitress explained that this was the traditional way of making it. I’ve never had a carbonara so thick and gloppy. She offered to bring me something else but I refused. So she said maybe someone else at home might enjoy it. She was very nice and her service was very good. I’m just salty that we paid so much for a meh meal.

    Arrived for our Saturday 5:45 table which we had changed the day before from 2 to 3. Could not make that change on open Table so I called the restaurant who updated it immediately. The restaurant was very busy already and we were seated in a covered outside area with a heater that worked well. We ordered two cocktails and wine. They customer the espresso martini to add chocolate to it - a very nice touch. I had a Paper Airplane - well presented and tasty. The Italian wines we had by the glass were both delicious - one from Tuscany and the other Veneto. We had the Burrata/Prosciutto appetizer then 3 pasta dishes. The Strozzepreti and Lasagne were excellent. We finished with two excellent desserts - a chocolate one new on the menu and a tarte. Service was very attentive. We had couple of noisy tables near us - a birthday for 8 and 4 young women celebrate something that added to the noise which otherwise would have been much more subdued. We had a great time on this visit. I would recommend to others. The inside is very nice when you can get a table but is more bustling.
