The service was great. The food was not. The minestrone soup was the only thing we liked.

Great Cacio a Pepe and the lamb chops were the best dish. Well-curated albeit small wine list. Great cocktails. Our favorite Italian restaurant in Houston and will continue to be. Sophisticated neighborhood bistro that punches well above its weight class.

A nice hidden gem. Loved the decor, the kitchen open to the restaurant and bar. Very intimate, food was great overall. The cacio peppe was my least favorite as it had no flavor at all. We ordered pasta and asked the chef to make it spicy. The first time it was so delicious, we ordered another for our table, however it was less spicy and not as great as the first time. We had to ask for more water after our pitcher was sitting empty for a while, we also had to request that our table be cleaned off after we finished the starters. The restaurant was empty so it wasn’t busy and therefore they should have been a bit more attentive. Little details make or break a restaurant in our opinion. With that being said, we’ll definitely give it another try because the food was good.

Music is too loud and doesn’t fit a small intimate restaurant like this one and ruins ambience The waitress was nice and helpful but could not describe the menu items sufficiently
