“Blown away. One of the best dining experiences I have had. The arancini will live in my dreams.”
“10/10. if nothing else, go for the desserts! the chocolate budino & the ramazzotti amaro was TO DIE FOR. for appetizers: we had the arancini & the burrata. the arancini was crispy & the pesto inside was divine. the burrata was good, the garlic was cooked well, im not a fan of tomato but it was still very good. the olive oil that came with it was nice. for entree, I had the ribeye, broccolini & an old fashioned. my girlfriend had the hanger steak broccolini, polenta & a lemon drop spritz. steaks were cooked exactly to temp, sides were seasoned well & the polenta wasn't gritty. the food was great, the drinks were spot on & the service was well. the atmosphere was very nice. I didnt see a single person with a ball cap and the experience was really nice. the desserts were everything! I dont have a sweet tooth but the affogato & chocolate budino was incredible. i will definitely be coming here again. we got multiple appetizers, drinks, entrees, extra sides & multiple desserts so...we spent what we spent but it was worth every bit.”
“I was able to get a table without a reservation, but I do recommend making one for the future. I had a really nice experience here. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, and the staff were friendly and attentive. However it was awfully loud. My favorite dishes were the kale salad and the squid ink linguine, both were fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal.”
“Came here for a date night with my boyfriend for the first time and everything was astounding. Firstly, the pasta is handmade and the texture of the lamb ragu was amazing and addictive. The appetizers are delicious and portion sizes are generous. The environment is more loud than it is calm and quiet but that means business is booming. Also the service was attentive. My boyfriend also said they have the best water he has ever tasted lol I think he had over 25 refills throughout the night. We'll be back and I can't wait to try more of the food! Try the truffle fries! There is a bit of a wait but it's so worth it! Drinks are tasty too!”
“The food was amazing. I chose a pasta dish and the noodles were so tender, definitely fresh. The sauce was incredible. We also tried the short ribs and a fig appetizer which did not disappoint. Don't skip dessert, a perfect ending to the meal! You will need to make a reservation way in advance as they are extremely popular and it requires a miracle to get in last minute.”
