- LLisaSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoGreat service! Great ambiance and best of all amazing food! Pasta was so fresh and delicious. My girlfriends and I had the charcuterie board, lobster pasta, gnocchi, carbonara and crab ravioli! Of course we ended with a beautiful tiramisu! Fun night catching up! Not recommended for a quiet romantic night as it was a bit loud, but perfect for a girls night out!More infoRoman WolvesPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Little Italy•4.6
- KKaterynaSan Francisco Bay Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoIt’s was exciting to still catch holidays decorated indoors and outdoor. Food is great! We’ve had HALIBUT PUTTANESCA entree, MISO POMODORO pasta, WOOD FIRED BRUSSELS SPROUTS as shared. Big plus is that they still have seasonal cocktails. Our waitress didn’t offer us any water, but it’s was something we didn’t notice until the end. No a big deal. 10/10 in overallMore infoNolita HallPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Little Italy•4.3

- YYessyrPortland / Oregon •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWent for Christmas Eve dinner. Saw the cheese wheel on TikTok and had to try it, it was AMAZING. Espresso martini’s were amazing, even tho we had to send the second one made by a different person, they remade it and it was so good to know they took the time to make sure our service was fantastic. Thank you guys! See you again in the near future.More infoRustiCucinaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Hillcrest•4.7
