    Service was great! We split two pasta dishes, the cacio e Pepe and the rosey & spicey. both were great. We also had the garlic bread dippers, which were so good, and a deconstructed cake. everything was amazing! Our servers were great, they happily accommodated a few requests we had and were super friendly. It's super cute in there also, which is always a bonus!

    Food was delicious. Server was helpful, polite and prompt. They went out of their way to make the birthday girl feel special. Only down side was the seating on a wood slab wasn’t very uncomfortable but overall a good experience. We will be back.

    We were greeted once arrived and reassured our table will be ready in few minutes, then got seated and had attentive service. Drinks were good, apps and main meals were great as well. The only complaint was us sitting next to a very loud party of 4 that made it annoying somewhat but eventually we tuned them out. Cozy place, good food for the value. Definitely will come back and recommend

    Food was delicious and the drinks from the bar were fabulous! I let the staff choose my food - it was delicious and excellent cocktail and wine pairing. The staff were great about coming around to ensure we were well taken care of

    Great vegan options, date night perfection. Portion sizes are very generous. It’s tough to get reservations because this is such a great spot!
