    The food is nicely presented but the fish was dry and needed seasoning. The short ribs we not very flavorful either. The pasta dishes were very good. The place was packed and very loud like many restaurants at this time. I would give the food and service an average rating for an expensive meal. Service was slow, water never refilled, I had much better meals elsewhere.

    First time eating here! It’s a busy restaurant, but the staff is very welcoming and works well together to take care of their guests. We loved everything! We ordered the Fried Ricotta Balls, Duck Ragu, Short Rib, and a side of their amazing Polenta. Additionally, we wanted to try a new wine, and their wine steward was very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. He helped us choose the perfect wine. We will definitely be returning and telling others about this place!

    My wife took me here for my birthday. We started with the meatball appetizer as well as some arancini. The meatball was fantastic, while the arancini was just ok. The arancini lacked some seasoning to take it up a notch. For dinner, my wife had the parpadelle with duck confit ragu and she enjoyed it very much. Since it was Thursday, I had the veal parmesan and it was delicious. We finished with the tiramisu and and cannoli. They were both very good as well. Since it was only two of us, we had lots of leftovers, and we really wanted to taste as much as we could. We will definitely be back!

    Brought my dad and his business partners here for dinner. Our first time dining, the staff were accommodating with my adding people to my reservation which I appreciated. Food was delicious. We sat on the patio which was a bit noisy but that’s to be expected next time a busy road. They do not validate or discount parking. Our server was good but slow, he was not super attentive and took a long time to come get our dinner and our dessert orders. Can we start adding QR codes on menus to bring us to a pdf version of the menu in other languages? Some of my dad’s business partners are Spanish speaking and it was a bit more difficult for them to navigate the menu. Overall an enjoyable and delicious experience and will dine here again.

    Avery, Thanks you for this 5 star review. I'm glad we were able to accommodate the addition of members to your party and that you found the food to be delicious. I apologize for any loud traffic driving by. Usually our spot on 12th is moderately quiet but there can be outliers from time to time. I'm sorry, we do not validate parking but all of our guests are welcome to the valet service we provide next door. I'm sorry that you found the service to be slow and I will be sure to address this with the team. We certainly take this feedback seriously to improve for all future guests. We will also take into consideration your suggestion about the QR codes. So glad that overall you found your experience to be enjoyable and we are excited for your return. Best, Brandon Lucas, Manager - Luogo

    It’s so loud during peak dining hour that you can’t talk to each other, let alone the staff. Something needs to be done to curtail the noise, seriously! We opted to dine inside thinking it would be quieter, but it was so loud inside. I was happy to see they were so busy though. I think this is the third restaurant in this space and they are definitely attracting more diners than their predecessors. Service and drinks were great! I wish I recalled our server’s name, she was a delight! On to the food. The olives that are on the table when you are seated are amazing! The Frito Misto appetizer was just okay and served with tartar sauce. The entrees were okay, but not yummy as described by our server. Everyone’s tastes are different, so you can’t fault someone for recommending something they like. I had the lobster/langoustine pasta. The pasta and sauce were tasty, but there was only one piece of lobster claw meat and the langoustine were very small and overcooked. It was only $42, so reasonably priced for what it was, but I’d rather pay $60 and get better quality/quanity. We also ordered the bucatini cauliflower dish. It was so small that it looked like an appetizer. It was tasty, but much spicier than advertised. It was also unseasoned and when we asked for salt to several employees, it took at least 10 minutes to get the salt at which point the pasta was cold. I’m not a chef and don’t understand the idea that a chef can season a dish and be offended if you want more salt. Put salt and pepper on the table or be more attentive to guests. The Branzino was fabulous, but there was so much celery and celery leaves on it which detracted from the dish. We love celery but this was over the top on celery. We asked for to go containers for two items. The person who delivered the bag to our table put the bag down in my face essentially. Very rude as there were only three of us. Seemed like they were rushing us out after spending almost $400.

    Hello, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m sorry to hear it seems you didn’t enjoy much of your experience with us which is unusual to be honest. We're so grateful to be one of the busiest restaurants in town but we understand an energetic crowd is not for everyone. I will pass along your thanks to the front of the house team since we don't know who your server was. It's clear you have a discerning palate, and while we do our best to cater to everyone's tastes, I recognize that preferences can vary. Thank you for your suggestions regarding the menu and seasoning. We always strive to improve, and it’s clear you have thought deeply about your dinner experience and we hope you’ll give us another chance in the future. Best, Brandon Lucas, Manager - Luogo
