    It was a cold night but i thought we were safe eating inside except. they kept all doors open so all cold air entered in. i couldnt even take off my jacket. It was really loud i could barely here my daugher who i sat next to just so I could try hear her better. Our table also woobled the entire time. Food and drinks overpriced and mediocre. The place is packed and tables are too close you feel like your sitting right on top of other people. And metal chairs eww. I probably will not return.

    John was our server. Excellent service, attentive especially on a busy night. Live Music was good but a bit loud which made table conversation difficult. But, atmosphere is always fun and inviting. Food excellent and prices reasonable for location in Hyde park village.

    I it there in time for Happy Hour, and ordered the Suppli to start. They were perfectly cooked & the sauce provided was on the bottom of the dish. This made it possible for me to control the amount of sauce I wanted. Don’t you hate it when your food comes smothered in sauce? For my main dish, I had the Strip steak. It was the best steak I’ve eaten in a long while! Cooked exactly the way I wanted it, and delicious!

    first time here… Food was excellent. However, it was very loud, the music seem to overpower our conversations. I will definitely go back! Excellent service.

    We sat outside because it was a little quieter and the weather was perfect. Our server, Louise, was lovely. The food was amazing. My husband is a chef and it is the first I heard him say that everything was great! We will be back! 💜

    Excellent place for an Italian dinner! Size options on pasta dishes are so nice, allows my elderly parents to get just enough. Teenage daughters live this place for us trendy vibe and location. Great happy hour and always great service!
