   The service was amazing. My wife and I both got pasta and it was delicious. The restaurant has a great atmosphere.

   Very cool restaurant! Delicious food and wonderful staff! Took our 16 year old daughter here for a 16th birthday celebration and we all loved it!

   Was really grateful to get a reservation for a large group. Being honest I’ve had better Italian in DC and found the menu somewhat challenging… very few of the favs and standards people don’t hesitate to order and enjoy. So that was a bummer and no one seemed to be all that happy with their selection. Service was professional but drinks took a while to reach us. Our meals were well prepared but unremarkable and we felt a little let down given we’d had higher hopes based on the ratings of other diners.

   Made a 6:45 reservation and was sat at 7:15. Food came quickly and was good but definitely started off less positive than anticipated.

   Limited vegetarian options, but they are willing to accommodate. First try, may try again

   Great atmosphere that matches the great food. Had the eggplant caponata, focaccia with speck and arugula. My friend and I each had a pasta for dinner - pesto and the mushroom pork rags. Each were delicious!

   Pretty space. The front of house / reservation lady was sweet. Our waiter - he was ok. He talked way too fast. It’s very loud. Couple that with a loud space. Impossible to hear him. Food was fine. Great wine list. I’ll come back and try the bar. The general seating is awakened and too chaotic for me. The Chinese plate and the rib eye and ravioli were excellent.

    That was our second time around. We came back because we really enjoyed our first time. This time we were not lucky. Cocktails- 40 minutes wait. With almost empty restaurant. I asked waiter twice. Food-first course came like with in a couple minutes, and second course came right after and been really cold. The best part was cappuccino. It came as cold substance , with had nothing to do with famous Italian coffee. I sand this back and second try was even worse. Probably 3-4 espresso shots in cup. Thank you very much. To make it short- second time was absolutely horrible. I think if you keeping restaurant open all day, the food and drinks and service expected to be excellent all day.
