Everything was delicious, service was impeccable. I love to see teamwork. The hostess, servers and busboy were very attentive, fast and knowledgeable. The noise level and ambiance was perfect. All the food came out in a quick succession — appetizers/ wine, the pizza/ more wine, main course, then dessert. We had a small table, and with each course, the staff was attentive and cleared our table, replaced plates and utensils and packed the food we couldn’t finish — then moved onto the next! The food was AMAZING. My favorite dish was the forest mushroom pizza, which I highly recommend. It has Truffle Roasted Mushrooms, Scallions, Fontina al Agosta. We also ordered: - polpette meatballs: Meatballs that Beat Bobby Flay! San Marzano Tomatoes. Three Per Order - cacio e pepe: Linguine, Parmigiana-Reggiano, Black Pepper. - penne bolognese - Chianti - sauvignon blanc - malbec - tiramisu: Savoiardi, Mascarpone, Amaretto, Cocoa. Wish we could have tried more on their menu. Everything we ordered was top notch. Highly recommend!
