    Maria our server was great as was the bartender (don't remember his name). We ordered the brussel sprouts which were over powered by something acidic. The menu stated it was flavored with pecorino, prosuttio and lemon but there was something very vinegar-like in the sauce which was swimming in oil. I would not order again and I love brussel sprouts. The wedge salad was okay, nothing special. Small in size for $14. We ordered the soup which came out cold. Maria stated it was a new item on the menu and they were working out the kinks so they re-heated it for us. Ordered a pizza and I usually remove the crust as its too heavy for me. I literally needed to use a steak knife to cut off the crust. Again, the service was good, the atmosphere okay and the food overpriced for what it is. There are much better italian eateries in the area.

    Food was far from what we expected. Got the lobster ravioli and it had a taste of cinnamon… short rib ravioli were ok. Chicken piccata was good, lot of capers. Carbonara was good but I’ve made better. Honestly come for happy hour & appetizers that was the best part.

    I thought the pasta I ordered was heavy-handed and overly rich. I had been hoping for something lighter.

    We had reservations for 6 and seated right away. Ordered appetizers, Brussels Sprouts and the Burrata, both were excellent but Brussels over the top good. Ordered dinner about 6:30 at 7:15 we were still waiting. Linguini and clams, braised short ribs, chicken parm and appetizer portion of eggplant parm (enough for dinner size) and all were also excellent. The problem was the timing. Although our server was very nice she really didn’t check in with us during our long entree wait. We had to chase her down. We were heading to the MIM for an 8PM show and got there at 7:58. IMO a 6PM reservation should’ve allowed plenty of time to get there earlier it’s only 6 min away. They apologized profusely but it fell short when you’re stressed and rushing to get to a show. Yes we were there on time but dinner was kinda sitting uncomfortably there the whole evening. We’ll go back and hopefully the timing will be better.

    Had a wonderful time at this hidden gem. Went out with another couple and had a great time. Went stopped by early to get some cocktails and they had some really good signature ones. We then made our way to a booth table which was reserved. Had a great mix of appetizers and main dishes. Waitress was super friendly and attentive. We didn’t feel rushed and just had a great time.

    We were excited to try a new Italian restaurant and are so glad we did. We tried the Eggplant Parm appetizer - the sauce was what made this dish stand out. The Short Rib Ravioli was amazing top to bottom and the Pesto (with sausage) was also delicious. I did expect a little more flavor or spice from the sausage, though. Definitely going back!

    I have eaten here before and it was good enough to come back. Most of our meals were good, but the soup was served luke warm, the polenta was runny, and they didn't have ANY bread. The server was pretty good, but we had to ask for our bill so that we could make our show. I enjoyed my salad but the others in our group were not impressed due to the above comments. Maybe that's why I could change a dinner reservation for 6 from 6:30 to 7:30pm the day before?
