“Absolutely perfect. The atmosphere, to the service, to the food; just cannot say enough about these guys. We were there for a team event and we had such a blast. The food was so good and it's such a welcoming and very nice atmosphere. If you have yet to go, even for a cocktail or two, this is a must stop!!! Thank you guys!”

“First time here and it was delicious. The main complaint was the seating. We sat at a high top table and the seats are metal. Not the comfiest of seats. The service was good and the prices reasonable.”

“Very good food throughout our meal. The seared lasagna was so interesting and good! We shared quite a few appetizers and enjoyed all of them. We also split a few desserts and they were great! The only downside: I wish they had more non alcoholic drinks, and I was disappointed to find out that their online menu was not up to date, so they didn't have the drink I was most looking forward to having. There is a kid's menu, and I was impressed with the size of the kid's pizza. But there are a lot glass bottles and nice glassware on display that is very easy for any toddler to reach. Probably not a great choice for young kids until they can sit still for an entire meal. Other than that, great experience!”

“Plenty of parking. Nice fire pit outdoors. Only moderate noise so I wasn’t too bad. Nice decor. Service was excellent and very prompt. They did screw up on my allergies as they specifically said I’m very allergic to a certain seed and when we order the octopus, it was covered in these seeds. Chefs were not paying attention. They made us a new one. No comp was given. The food overall was very good. Octopus was tender. The ricotta appetizer was good, but not nearly as good as Rocco on Monro Avenue near the city. Rocco’s still have the best homemade ricotta downtown in town. I ordered the duck which was tender but I’m sure it was purchased frozen and my wife had a short ribs which she loved. She also got the vegetable salad dish, which was very good and grilled perfectly. Drinks were on point. A lot of older people. It was disappointing that they put pecorino cheese on their linguine and clams as you’re never supposed to mix cheese with seafood with Italian food. That’s not authentic. If it wasn’t for the cheese, the dish would’ve been perfect. They did a good job overall. I would still recommend it.”

“You only get one chance to make a first impression and our first impression was horrible. Stood at front while hostess sat one table and then walked around for five minutes before coming back to her station. Acted like she couldn’t have cared less that we were there. Did not feel welcome at all. We had a reservation but it took her another minute or two to decide where to put us. Service and food were decent but not good enough to make us want to come back anytime soon based on hostess experience.”
