    Nice atmosphere and experience. Our waitress was wonderful as well as the waitress I inquired into what she ate there. Her recommendation of the Funghi was spot on.

    Went to P&D for my six month anniversary with my wonderful gf. Also asked her out here. Lots of special memories. Great food, too.

    The ricotta was delicious and the staff super friendly. We were excited about the broccolini but it was bitter and tasted of fake smoke. The pasta was ok. The restaurant stank of skunky marijuana and had more of a cramped diner feel than a nice Italian spot.

    Finally got in after the symphony to try this, it did not disappoint. Everything was very good, but we thought the standout may have been the fried artichokes.

    Food and drinks are delicious as always. The ricotta, artichokes, greens and beans, and gricia are all to die for!

    Fake Italian food, I’m sure most love because they don’t have a clue. This restaurant also features typical annoying American table service interrupting conversations at the table every 5 minutes. And, despite server been told not bring the bill 5 seconds after we finished eating, she brought it anyways. Impossible to dine in peace and enjoy with friends in business-driven profit-making tip-driven American restaurants. This restaurant is no exception obviously, but just extra annoying.
