Service was not great and pasta was over cooked. I expected better with all the social media posting about it. In my opinion it’s a try it once and done kind of place. Wasn’t bad but wasn’t great.

Really good food but not worth the price. Isn't the restaurants fault but would have been nice to know about the service charge. That alone was an extra 50 dollars. The food was not worth the price.

The service was poor. We received undercooked pasta, but the drinks were good. I don’t think I’ll return.

Expensive and mediocre food. Weird vibe - trying to be a sports bar and a nicer out to eat restaurant? Also 22% service charge with no warning :)

Underwhelming overcooked pasta lacking flavor with an extremely inflated price. Definitely not worth it.
