    Our server was outstanding! they were friendly and personable, joined in on jokes and offered their own experiences with regards to our upcoming destinations and plans. They weren't at all pushy or insistent and shared very helpful recommendations on dishes when asked. The food was phenomenal as well. After a bright burrata and warm, comforting arancino we shared both the gnocchi and a brand new, unlisted variation of the ragu with octopus instead of beef. And it was absolutely delicious! The acidity of the ragu melded so well with the fresh and fishy taste. I highly recommend it 1. Be added to the menu permanently. And 2. All fish-lovers give it a shot

    Outstanding Sicilian food in a small and cozy environment. The octopus appetizer with pickled artichoke, celery leaves and basil oil was excellent. Their pasta and pizza outstanding! You can buy the house olive oil used for dipping and drizzling for ~$30 - definitely worthwhile. But their cannoli.... OFF THE CHAIN!! This place has an open kitchen too, which is really cool. The only suggestion I would offer - bring the bread warm to the table. Other than that, everything else was great!

    Can’t believe we are lucky enough to live around the corner from here!! It’s DELICIOUS and lively and wonderful. The souvided ribeye was perfection, the spicy rapini out of this world, and we were all blown away by the fennel panna cotta

    Really great cozy vibes in a cool venue. The lighting was great. It felt like it was a nice amount of candlelight. Everything was amazing. The food recipes are amazing and they even accommodated a gluten allergy and the pasta was still a delicious texture. Can’t recommend the spot enough.
