    Note this is byob. Pasta was great. Service was … very pleasant, but genuinely clueless. And though I have extensive personal knowledge that waiting tables is is definitely a very hard job, I feel like I have to share that thing after thing, after thing, after thing, after thing…kept being made just very uncomfortably awkward by absent-mindedness and unawareness of steps of service, or just like, how to function. The burrata is more like a mozzarella, the fried mozzarella special needed a bit of tweaking but was tasty.

    It was super smoky in there and our clothes and hair smelt burned afterward. They seemed short staffed with nobody managing.

    To begin, we arrived about 10 minutes early. Luckily, the hostess seated us early. Hostess was nice, but my party thought it was unprofessional that she was wearing athletic sneakers, sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Food was if anything mid. I was confused since I ordered the chicken parmigiana and it came in vodka cause and not red sauce. The other members of my party enjoyed their food, but was not impressed. Overall, our experience was mid and would not go back.

    Great experience here, our server was super quick, attentive and very kind. She got us a birthday dessert to celebrate our occasion. The food was top notch and very reasonably priced. It is my next stop for all my Italian food cravings.
