We had a wonderful time! The 4 of us had the tasting menu with wine pairings. Started with grilled octopus (amazing) burrata (delicious citrusy and creamy) and fritto misto (fabulous and different from any other) Favorite pasta course was the bucatini. Favorite entrees of the table were the ribeye and the chicken. (Trying the sole next time we visit!) For dessert we had Bombaloni, vanilla semifredo, the chocolate mousse (our favorite) and the olive oil cake. The wine pairings were outstanding-the sommelier really made a great meal even better! Will definitely be back!!

Celebrated my husband’s birthday and had a wonderful dining experience. We were greeted with plenty of ambience and a birthday message at the table. We had a wonderful server and our food was fabulous. Enjoyed drinks at The Upright downstairs afterward where we were seated and served a hot toddy! Loved the jazz music and themed drinks! Highly recommend for a special night out.

Overall fantastic experience! Service was truly top notch. Cocktails are on point - manhattans and espresso martinis were especially delicious. Our party of eight tried a few appetizers and table-sized pasta dishes to start. The pasta was some of the best I’ve ever had, although one of the dishes was almost a tad too salty for my taste. Nonetheless, overall excellent. The entrees were delicious as well and definitely large enough to share if enjoying apps and pasta or salad. We tried two of the desserts amongst the group, and they did not disappoint. We capped things off with drinks downstairs in the speakeasy - again, top notch all around. Definitely will be back!

Food was outstanding; service was hit or miss. It was clear that our server was prioritizing another larger table; took a long time to approach us even for drink orders. The ambience was beautiful and festive but loud. We were seated by the bar and front windows. Front desk staff are aloof and not particularly welcoming.

Great food and service. The prix fixe menu is a great option for dining experience as it allows you to try multiple different dishes as well as dessert. The octopus was cooked perfectly! The service was also very nice, every time you get up someone comes and folds your napkin. Then someone periodically wipes down your table. My favorite was the change in silverware. Excellent touch.
