    Even though our show ran longer than expected and we arrived at the restaurant late, we were given nothing but very considerate service and wonderful food. 30 minutes to closing, we were the last customers in the restaurant but made to feel appreciated and well taken care of. We shared our dinners of Rigatoni allá Vodka and Pollo allá Parmigiana and they were both outstanding. The pasta had a nice al dente bite that only fresh pasta can give you and the sauce had a perfect yummy balance of bacon in a tomato cream. The chicken parm was so flavorful and tender, loaded with cheese but not to the point of excess. And the spaghetti on the side, so often nothing to write home about in other restaurants, was excellent as well. It was our anniversary celebration, and not only did they put a small card on our table wishing us “Felice Anniversario”, but many of the employees stopped by to wish us this as well. And then following our dinners they came out with a special dessert for us to share. Thanks to all of these wonderful people’s efforts, from hostess, chefs to waiters and bus staff, they made our experience a wonderful one. And thankfully, we were able to bring home our leftovers so we’re both looking forward to having the rest of it tonight.

    Great drinks , dinner and service. We were seated right away and our server was excellent. We were seeing a show at the Improv and this was a great choice as it was pretty close by. I would definitely recommend this place and we’ll be back.

    Upon arriving to the restaurant, we noticed right anway the cosmetics of the restaurant were amazing! The atmosphere was very pleasant as well. I am not sure if the restaurant was short staffed but it did take a while for our server to arrive after seating us. Even after our whole party of 12 arrived. Nonetheless our waitress was very nice. I ordered the enchiladas and I must say they were pretty good. We also ordered 2 pitchers of margaritas. The cucumber and the guava. My favorite was the cucumber margarita. So refreshing and a must try. After dinner we went on a stroll around the area and it is centrally located and surrounded by super up beat bars and more small restaurants. We had such a blast.

    The place has a nice ascetic, the food and drinks are pretty good. The price for the drinks are a bit high but, still good. After 8:30pm only 21 and up can enter and becomes a bar with a dance floor. DJ is alright. Overall a fun experience
