    Great selection of shareable dishes. Didn’t make it the Secundi because we ordered so much of everything else

    Food was excellent - I love the burrata, beef tartare, and rabbit pasta. Wine selection was also good and interesting. They had a lot of fun cocktails that I didn't try but hope to in the future. Our waitress was very nice and the food came out quickly, though there weren't many tables occupied when we were there. The music was a little too loud, though, and that took away from the ambiance.

    Standard Italian was wonderful. Everything tasted amazing but you have to get the Parm-Onion Dip. I will be back and recommending Standard Italian to friends and family.

    Experience was OK but not great. Location is somewhat removed. Noise level playing loud wedding party music was annoying and ru8ned the ambience. Food was good. We sat at the bar. Would not go out of my way to go again.

    Sat at the bar and service was quite poor. Very good food; good atmosphere; and hosts were very courteous and helpful. Bartenders were smug and focused on everything other than serving us.
