The food was outstanding. Everything was well-cooked, flavored and seasoned to perfection (from the grilled octopus to the fried calamari.) The variety of the menu is eye-popping. Also, their in-store bakery is to die for. Well worth the trip.

Good food and good value for a pre-theater dinner. Waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. General commentary for most wait staff these days and a pet peeve of mine- like many others says “are we” when asking “we diners” a question. Not sure who instructed wait staff to say “we” instead of “you” but it’s incorrect. They are not at table with “us.” Endeavoring to Include themselves in the diner’s experience is overly familiar, incorrect and at times condescending. Nonetheless, They work hard. Tip well!

My wife and I had dinner for her birthday. It was very good. The ambiance was perfect for our dinner for two. We went around 5 and it started to get busy about the time we were finishing up. The service and food were very good. We loved our caprese salad with the roasted peppers. We realize it’s an Italian restaurant but weren’t thrilled with the dessert options - not a huge deal. I’m sure they are great. But luckily there is an ice cream place 800 ft away with plenty of options. We had a great time. We will definitely be back to try more of their homemade pastas.
