   Terribly understaffed. Decent apps, good rossoto, chicken parm was horrible. Cheese was not melted, chicken was soggy. sent back and swapped for the ragu which was also terrible! Tasted like beef bone broth, was brown in color, watery. Just all around terrible. Left and picked up a pizza elsewhere for dinner. Server was working hard but had entirely too many tables. Overall it was a negative experience and we definitely will not return.

   Food was delicious, but service was horrible. A party of 2 should not be there for over 2 hours for dinner.

   They were slammed and the front of the house just looked confused and dazed. People with reservations waiting out in the cold. A bad scene. Once seated, it was great.

   They do have a separate limited lunch menu. Everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered cappuccinos, appetizers, entrees and desserts.

   Great food, excellent service. It's definitely a gem tucked away on Chestnut Street.

   We had a delicious lunch with excellent service. The chicken piccata and the pesto chicken were amazing. The octopus special had some of the best-prepared octopus either of us ever had. We also liked the option of having a leisurely paced meal - does not happen very often.

   Went here last night for the first time and was extremely happy. Food was delicious and so was the service. Would come back here again!

    This was probably the worst dining experience I’ve had in my 5 years living in Philadelphia. We had an 8:30pm reservation and they badly over booked. There were about 4 large groups of 8:30 reservations literally standing around for 30-45 minutes blocking the front door and restaurant traffic. We finally get sat and long and behold there was “restaurant drama” between staff and the restaurant owner and our waitress was fired! We found this out by flagging someone down because we had been sitting there looking around to order for 20 minutes… All of this sitting around to get food that was not good at all. We both ordered a beet salad, very un-flavorful, even the burrata cheese had no flavor. Ragu gnocchi was also not great. My salmon was dry as a desert but the sauce helped some. First and absolutely last time dining here, surprised the reviews were so good. Would make a tiktok about it but don’t want to destroy someones business, thats how bad it was.
