“Popular place with great creative food! I strongly recommend to go early, since this place fills up very quick. Service is good, the food is great. Portion was just right. Only one thing you should know before you go. Automatically 5% surcharge is included in a bill. If you don’t like it, just subtract from your tip.”
“We had a restaurant week selection for dinner, the risotto particularly was excellent, and the chicken cacciatore was good. The salad was a nice start and both desserts were good. The space is a bit of an awkward shape that they've done a good job with, but it's a bit loud and the lighting is bright bulbs but spaced widely making it dim and bright at once.”
“Early lunch before watching a play @ Orpheum! We ordered the cacio e pepe pasta which was excellent while the pizza salsiccia was just ok. I do want to point out that while I understand metal straws are environmentally friendly, I find it not suitable for public use. Sincerely doubt a straw brush is used to clean each and every metal straw. Just overall very unhygienic for me but they did have disposable straws on hand so good thing.”
“Very busy, pretty restaurant. Recommended to me by my Lyft passenger and I live in area. Well-mannered service whom gave recommendations when asked. We ordered cauliflower, rosemary focaccia, pistachio buratta salad, margherita pizza w/ arugula, steak & rosemary potato, pasta w/ pancetta. Dishes were heavy in olive oil and/or cheese, so by the time I get to my main dish, too full to enjoy. I request Rosemary potatoes to be labeled as fried rosemary potatoes.”
“Very mediocre food with long food wait times. The Margherita pizza, which was dry and honestly quite disappointing took over 40 minutes to come out. The pasta was served cold with no personality and didn’t have enough flavour. The most appetising plate was surprisingly a plate of cauliflower. Our server was super nice though and the ambience of the place is buzzing! However, definitely not worth the 100 dollar tag we spent for 2.”
