**atmosphere, service, presentation is amazing! The atmosphere is so lovely, my friend and I sat outside and it was like we were in Europe! The servers are really kind—one noticed that my friend didn’t like her drink and offered suggestions for a different one (which she ended up loving!). The colorful menus, decor, live music all add to the experience. Plating is gorgeous. We came for happy hour so we only had small bites. Unfortunately, I can’t say that I loved my dish. I got the braised calamari and some calamari pieces were way too big and impossible to chew. I would’ve preferred smaller bites. My friend got the garlic bread and said it was ok, but nothing spectacular. I do want to return to try a main dish, though! Drinks are great: I got the spritz and it was so tasty. My friend got the berry Bellini on the second time and enjoyed. Overall, I would return, even if just for the service and vibes!

Absolutely delicious!! The best garlic bread I’ve ever had - they bake the cheese into the bread and the sauce is incredible! I’m super Italian and picky about homemade pasta & it exceeded my expectations. Cooked perfectly, and the sauces were on point. The portions were generous, prices were fair, and Dante our server was wonderful. Wine was also delicious. They offer family style for their pastas, which is always a plus. We ordered the Cacio e Pepe and Bucatini with Shrimp - both were incredible! I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Italian food :)

Such a cute restaurant with amazing food and drinks. We had Cesar salad 3/5, meatballs 4.5/5, bucatini 4/5 and lasagna 5/5- and definitely something we would get again. However, getting the family style option was not worth it.

Service was incredible - very attentive, warm and welcoming. Great location. Lovely and inviting decor. Didn’t get pictures of the meatballs and garlic bread appetizers because the table ate it all so fast! Deliciously crispy bread and the garlic bread cheese pull was Instagram worthy. Entrees were delicious - lasagna, fettuccini cacio e pepe, chicken parm and fennel salad. Wish we had room for dessert. Can’t wait to go back!

We tried this place for the first time and it was lovely! We sat out on the patio which they had arranged to make it feel like a little street in Italy. Our server Dante was so attentive and kind it made the whole experience feel luxurious. The food is delicious and perfectly balanced. While it's pricey, the portions are big so we had leftovers to bring home. We also had a dog and a toddler with us and Dante was very gracious and accommodating with both. 10/10 would recommend.

We loved the spot and despite some of the recent reviews had a great outing with no issues. The lasagna was perhaps my all time favorite from a restaurant. Not to be missed! Wonderful meat, cheese, and pasta medley with a solid acidic tomato sauce. So good. Will def return just for that.

Our server Valentina provided a phenomenal experience. We went for dessert. We got the 24 layer chocolate cake and espresso martinis. Both were tasty. Looking forward to going back for an entree!
