The food and cocktails were outstanding. The only reason I took stars off is because the restaurant is extremely small and we had to awkwardly stand in the middle of the dining room while waiting for our table to be ready. Definitely nothing serious enough to deter you from trying this fantastic spot. Highly recommend.

This is one of our favorites, because their homemade pasta and sauces are outstanding. We highly recommend all of them, especially the Mezzi Pacheri al Ragu! Their presentation is unique and interesting, and we have only experienced excellent waitstaff during our many visits. Highly recommend making advanced reservations through OpenTable, as this is a popular restaurant.
