    Underwhelming. Very very crowded for Valentine’s Day. Elbow to elbow. Maybe nice when patio is open.

    The food was good but the space is small and very noisy. tables were so close together they might has well been a community table. This made the atmosphere loud and not possible to have private conversations

    This was Christmas dinner for my two kids and me. Server was kind. Ambiance was ok. Food was so so. The calamari was very rubbery. My daughter's chicken penne had pieces of hard plastic in it. I let the server know and she informed the kitchen. Nothing was done about it other than that. We also enjoyed dessert there - kids had Raspberry sorbet (which had chunks of ice in it) and I had the affagato with salted caramel Gelato.

    The food at Apertivo is outstanding. I have never had a bad dish. I love the intimacy of the restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the staff is outstanding. I eat here often and recommend it often. I like that they have something for everyone, meat eaters, vegetarians and even vegans.

    The food was very good. The service was very good. I only gave them this score because of the way we smelled when we left. We couldn’t even stand ourselves in the car. We had to shower the second we got home. 100% stinky. Super bad. I had to wash everything fast. Maybe there is zero ventilation in the restaurant? I smelled like I spent 8 hours in smash burger.
