    Food is good, but not necessarily at the Michelin -mention level. It was serve promptly without much waiting. But service needs a lot of improvement. When we arrived, we had to wait for five minutes before a waiter felt bad enough about us to come and asked if we have reservations. All the waiters were more interested in setting up tables than serving us. They all ignored us standing at the door. There was no host or hostess. Finally, a waiter verified our reservation and asked us to wait even though there were plenty of empty tables. During dining, we had to ask for water refill, no one comes by after putting the foods on table. Also, the area at night is dangerous to walk to your car. And there are not much parking spaces anywhere. You have to walk far to find a spot on the street.

    It was a beautiful patio/atmosphere with friendly hosts! Loved the variety in the menu & the fact that there was an entirely vegan menu. My partner & I both agreed that the appetizers were delicious (mushroom flan, olive oil vegetables w/bread, etc) but the main dishes were just okay (the squash in my pasta dish was not cooked enough and the sauce was quite watery; his chicken was a bit dry). Overall, we enjoyed our experience but are not sure if we would return again for a full meal.

    Superb pasta and amazing service by chef Mario himself! We had the ubriaca, sombreri, and fettuccini. We could not pick a favorite because they all had such different flavors and all the pasta was cooked to a perfect all dente 👌🏻 couldn’t have asked for a better dinner out!

    It was quite loud sitting out in the covered patio area. Getting to the table took a little longer, but I think that might have been a staffing issue so no dings for that. Once we ordered food came fast, drinks lagged a little. We got our appetizer well before wine and 2 cocktails. The bread with the spread was yummy! Squash blossoms were fantastic. All the pastas were clearly fresh made and the flavors were well balanced. I got the lobster ravioli with crab. The ricotta inside was a little dry and over-powering so it was hard to taste the crab. There was a decent amount of lobster in bite size pieces with good flavor. They fill the cannolis to order and were well liked. Everyone seemed to like their entree, but no one was raving about anything specific. I'd go again and try something else.
