    Terrible service and mediocre food. Waitress was more concerned about the “high spending” tables. Would not eat here again.

    The food was amazing. We ordered several pastas and they were all cooked perfectly especially the gnocchi with gorgonzola. We had the pistachio Gelato and tiramisu for dessert and they were both delicious. The staff was so attentive and friendly and the music made the night feel special. We love this restaurant especially for special occasions.

    We found the staff to be very friendly and the atmosphere was lovely and the food was definitely delicious and I got to talk to Marcelino for sometime after our dining experience and enjoyed an engaging conversation. I’m not sure whether it’s open tables responsibility or maybe the restaurant doesn’t do Any type of acknowledgment but I had stated in my reservation that this was my wife’s 62nd birthday and that I would like to have a cake and a candle or something to denote her birthday and our celebration and none of that happened. So when you’re asking if it’s a special occasion when you’re making your reservation and then it’s not acknowledged it was a little bit offputting. That’s my only complaint if I have one.

    Great place for traditional Italian food. The squid ink pasta was amazing - as were the lamb chops and Tiramisu. Service was good - a bit clumsy at times.
