    Service was horrible! We made a reservation and still had to wait 20 min to be seated. Once seated had to wait another 15 min for someone to finally come around and bring us water and fetch our server. Another 10 min for server to come and take our order. Food was good but not good enough to pay $23 for a pizza and wait forever to be served and sat down.

    I will need to make another visit before I make final judgement. The big issue with our dinner was that the time. We were told that the pasta machine was broken and any dish with pasta could take up to 40 minutes to prepare. This is of course quite comical for an Italian restaurant. Anyways...we avoided pasta dishes, ordering pizzas and risotto. Even then it took an hour to get our meal. Our waitress was nice but was not very attentive as we sat with empty glasses and plates. Once we got our food...my dish (braised ribs with risotto) was so salty, I could not finish it. It could just be a bad night so I will reserve judgement.

    Seated at the table and was immediately told the machine used to cook pasta had broken. What? How does a restaurant that is solely Italian not have a working pasta machine. Server told us to put in our order right away to get in the queue as the kitchen was backed up. Apparently they found a fix- boiling water in a pot works really well-even the most junior cook knows that. Ordered to ragu with pasta. Was told it had shaved onions on it which I said I wanted lite onions. Yep, pasta came out loaded with onions. Had to pick at least a cup of onions out. Also, ordered brussel sprouts- never did get them. If you want true authentic Italian food better to go to Little Italy for the real thing and much less drama from the kitchen.

    Food is always amazing. Yellowtail crudo and beef carpaccio are the best starters.

    We had a very nice booth and spent time talking and catching up. We did not feel rushed, the server continued to check in on us. Ordered wine and the simple salad, it was delicious! The dressing was so tasty! Also ordered the Lasagna, it was rich and creamy. Such wonderful food!! I would highly recommend and dine here often.
