Went for lunch around 1PM on a Saturday and they gave us (a family with kids!) a nice table by the window. Had meatballs and octopus appetizers and both were good, but octopus was superlative. I had the boar/porcini tagliatelle and wife had gnocchi. Both were excellent. Kids and wife finished with bread pudding and it was delicious as well. I had an espresso martini that was fantastic for my dessert. Not a single complaint with food or atmosphere and service was on point. Only possible issue was it did seem a bit overpriced for some items, but by the time I left full and happy, I didn’t care.

Food was tasty and location and ambience were great! Parking is a bit challenging. Service was very attentive. Pastas were good and authentic. Broccoli was stringy and overcooked so wouldn’t recommend that as a side. Prices were high for food quality and portion sizes.
