   Delicious food, warm professional service, This place is a true neighborhood gem. Perfect for families, groups of friends and casual dates. We have tried both the pasta and the pizza and both are excellent.

   Serving sizes were small, especially for the price. The waiters forgot our order and asked for our order several times, so it took an hour to get the food. The menu was reduced for Valentine’s Day, which was disappointing bc there were specific items on the menu we wanted to try. Would not recommend

   Staff were pleasant and hustling; however, the restaurant seemed to be understaffed. On more than one occasion a server came by to question if we had received one of our courses, which we had not. Long waits. It was Valentine’s day though…

   Made Valentine’s Day reservations, two weeks ahead. Arrived before 7 for 7 PM reservation. After 15 minutes with no service opened the champagne we brought and poured it in the empty water glasses. After another 15 minutes, asked the manager to have someone take our order since we had been there a half hour. Someone did. 15 minutes later a salad arrived that we did not order. They took it away. 15 minutes later we left. No idea how the food was. We were there for an hour with no food. Tables around us had food they seem to enjoy it. Service was nonexistent.

   Not what we expected after the glowing reviews. It was Valentine's Day and we were given a special menu and had to ask for the pizza menu. We started with the the arancini which was pretty good served with a simple tomato sauce - but we have had better. The fennel salad contained many slices at the root which should have been removed. For our mains we had the gnocchi and mussels. The gnocchi were floating in the broth which gave them the consistency of rubber erasers. There was no bowl for the mussel shells. The lasagna consisted of 2 small and very thin sheets of pasta with an equally thin piece of eggplant between topped with cold ricotta and cherry tomatoes surrounded by a heart shaped smear of tomato sauce. It was so tiny it could have been an appetizer. It was sent back because it was cold. In hindsight we should have ordered the pizza which looked pretty good. Sorry but we will not return.

    Unfortunately, this was the worst dining experience. The staff/cooks were overwhelmed for V-day dinner. An hour after our salad, we had not received our ravioli entree. The waiter never waited on us after taking our order. We had to ask 3 times about not receiving our entrees. The waitstaff repeatedly did not know what table had what orders. Maybe they were temps for Valentine’s Day? We decided to leave and went to the manager to pay for our drinks and salad. He apologized and said don’t bother. I didn’t insist on paying only because he was so busy with more people waiting to be seated. I felt sorry for them. We went home and made a simple dinner.
