Really great spot for Italian food. It is a bit loud so can be hard to have a conversation. Food was excellent very fresh and we enjoyed bruschetta with whipped ricotta cheese as a starter. Make sure to make reservations in advance as it does get busy! We didn't have a pizza but they looked amazing and it was fun watching them be made.

Made a reservation. Showed up 15 minutes later. Messaged the restaurant letting them know. Hostess wanted to seat us on the street with people walking by outside saying because we were late. Absolutely ridiculous. Restaurant was packed to capacity. Eventually got seated at the bar. Food was whatever. Nothing special. Charged extra $2 for balsamic glaze on bruschetta. Pizza was so soft. Not cooked correctly. Totally unorganized staffs.. Not worth the hype. Other locations have been a better experience.

We are sorry to hear about your recent experience. We try to accommodate how we can, especially when the restaurant is at capacity. We unfortunately can not hold tables for very long if we are super busy. Thank you for the feedback.

First time here last night (2/14/25) and we will most certainly be returning! I had the limoncello pizza and what an amazing combination of flavors! My husband had the bolognese and enjoyed his dish. Loved the bruschetta appetizer and sangria. My only complaint was that the noise level was quite high which is somewhat understandable for a small restaurant on a busy night; however, the loud music playing didn’t help that. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and look forward to returning!
