   We arrived to the restaurant at our reservation time, 8pm, only to find the restaurant closed. No notes on the door to inform diners why they had to close or anything. I still do not know if this restaurant is still open or not. Our reservation was for a Saturday night at 8pm. We were in shock to find it closed. Very sad experience, as we were looking forward to try this place for the first time.

   Food was good overall! We enjoyed the our burrata appetizer and the pasta was FRESH! So tasty! My friend’s food was lukewarm though which is why I scored lower on food. The ambience was not as described, the music was very club vibes, no R&B or Italian vibes.

   The food was well-prepared but not adventuresome or particularly creative. The pizzas are probably the strongest part of the menu, small but hand-crafted. Although reviews suggest there’s a liquor license, it’s actually BYOB. A nearby table of younger folks seemed thrilled with their meals, and a single serving of tiramisu will easily serve 4. If you like old-school Italian you will likely enjoy this.

   Great service! Space is very limited so keep this in mind. Food was very good and I believe the pricing is very reasonable. We ordered the Parmigiana for an appetizer and it was so good. I’m not a huge eggplant fan but decided to give it a try and this dish over delivered on our expectations. For the entrees we ordered one of their specials which was the Frutti de Mare (huge portion, enough for 3-4 people) and we also ordered the Orreciette Bari Vacchia which were both so good. For dessert we got the tiramisu which was really good. Portion size was very big (good for 3-4 people). Would definitely come back and try their other dishes. Service was amazing.

   Love this place! We ate on the patio quite a bit during the summer and have done carry out 4-5 times since then, but this was our first time eating inside. Nice atmosphere and great service. The eggplant parm (listed as an appetizer but I had it as my entree after we shared the grilled calamari/octopus/shrimp) is just wonderful. My husband thinks the sausage pizza is one of the best he’s ever had. We will be back!

   Our server was excellent. The tricolor rnb salad was extremely salty so we couldn’t even have a few bites of it. Cacio Pepe was salty too and quality was very less. I would not come back.

   We Apologize for your bad experience, miscommunication in the kitchen happens at times and i will assume salt was added twice to your dish. We would like to invite you back for a complimentary appetizer and entree of your choice.

    Loved the focus on regional Italian food. The mozzarella was fresh and the pasta true to authentic ingredients. My pasta carbonara was packed with savory goodness without adding unnecessary ingredients. Festive and loud atmosphere.
