    Bottom line: will be back. Not the only BYOB around with this level of quality and price, but very good food and a welcome addition to the scene. We went on a Friday night and the atmosphere was boisterous. Had to shout a little to talk and the staff had a good, friendly attitude but they seemed pretty hurried. Good for starting a fun night if that’s your vibe, but definitely a bit more chaotic feel than some places. Had the pork chop special, the paccheri with duck ragu and crème brûlée cheesecake. All were great.

    Loved the atmosphere and service was good. The octopus was amazing!!! Pasta was good..one entree was a little too salty but I think that was just the prosciutto. But all in all, very nice restaurant!

    Music was loud enough I had trouble hearing the servers. They were out of a few menu items and said they were out of bread claiming that their last reservation was 9:00 even though this app said 9:30. So $27 for a plate of pasta with crabmeat. I’m not going back. Sit next to stairs and you’ll hear the doors slamming the whole time

    The service was amazing. All the severs were very attentive. The octopus was nice a charred but it was a bit on the salty side. The beef carpaccio was a bit too sour problem too much lemon juice. The squid ink rigatoni was very flavorful and we also really enjoyed the bread it was nice and chewy and the sun dried tomatoes dip was the bread was also really good.
