The food and drinks are really good and the service is lovely. The prices are a bit on the high side, but not unreasonable. Definitely recommend, but be aware that it is very loud - the volume of the music and/or TVs are nearly dance club level - not a great place to go if you want to be able to converse within your group, but otherwise a fun spot for a good drink.

Nice neighborhood Italian restaurant. We went in Christmas Eve. I was in town for work and wanted an Italian meal for Christmas Eve. Found this restaurant on Open Table. We arrived early intended to have a few cocktails at their bar. The place was packed to the extent they had given reservations at their bar which is pretty small. They got us a seat at the bar and we had a couple drinks as planned before our table was ready. Once seated server was very prompt our food came out fast and was very good. I was surprised they didn’t have a traditional Christmas Eve Italian menu but they made me spaghetti agli olio off the menu and it was very good Great value for the night. I would return again and recommend it to others.
