The food and atmosphere were amazing as always! However it was noticeably understaffed in the week before Christmas. The staff that were there were great but you could tell they were doing it all.

An unusual and interesting menu featuring excellent handmade pastas and breads. The appetizer of charred cabbage was one of the most interesting and delicious apps I've ever had and the greens and herb salad was perfectly dressed. For dessert, the pretzel cannoli did not disappoint - yum! Our server Gregory from VT was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed a very pleasant and delicious meal - would come again when in Philly.
