    we were dining in to celebrate our anniversary. The server was very friendly and attentive and the food was very delicious. It was pretty crowded during the happy hour, but we made reservation and was seated right away when we arrived. Great food, great ambience, great date night!

    The food was SO good. You can tell a real Italian chef works there. The calamari (not breaded) was tender and delicious. I got the beef and pork bolognese and it was the perfect portion size and very flavorful. It was perfect meal for such a cold day. I'm not sure what my husband got, but it was a pasta that was also delicious. The ambience was also so cozy. There's this beautiful wood paneling every where that made you feel like you were stepping back in time and there was a really good pianist that made it all feel luxurious. They also had a real Christmas tree which smelled amazing and added to the cozy feel. The host was so sweet, but the service (waiter) overall wasn't great. He rolled his eyes and walked away when I asked him if they could make a new york sour (which is a common and not difficult drink). It then took extra long to get the drink. Actually both the first and second drinks took well over 20 min (each) despite the restaurant being half empty. It's not a big deal, it just rubbed me the wrong way.

    Food was great. I believe there were some staffing issues so service was a bit slow. They generously gifted us some complimentary glasses of wine.

    The place and atmosphere is very nice, the service was great. The pasta board is an amazing idea, but it wasn’t good; it looked awesome. But I really wish it tasted better. On a good side tiramisu was exceptionally delicious.
