    We reserved for outdoor seating which we thought would mean in the parklet. We ended up at a table right next to the door, which kept opening onto us and had people passing on top of us every 15-30 seconds. So the ambiance wasn’t great for us, and when we asked if there was another table we could move to, we were told no. So we just tried to finish up as quickly as we could. The food was outstanding but between the foot traffic on top of us, and the heaters being not very strong, I can’t say it was a stellar experience.

    Food, wines, service & ambience all were top notch. Loved the fava bean purée & olives. Exceptional pizzas, all quaffed with Aglianico & Taurasi!

    Cozy Italian restaurant with great vibe, delicious food made with the freshest ingredients, amazing wine, and friendly staff. What's not to love? My favorites right now are fennel/citrus salad, and the salmon with string beans, tomatoes and capers. And you can never go wrong with the pizza!

    Went with a large group on a Saturday night. We were sat near the kitchen/pizza oven and IT WAS HOT! everyone was overheating at dinner because of the combo of table location and packed restaurant. Also the noise level was high - everyone yelling to communicate but maybe to be expected on a weekend night

    There was a birthday party group that took the noise level up quite a bit, great when they departed! Food was really nice, we tried a variety of items as it was a first trip.
