Welcoming and efficient, serving plentiful plates of well-prepared food. Near symphony hall, so excellent choice for pre-performance meal. Traditional Italian dishes; pleasant, casual bistro-style atmosphere; reasonable prices. Enjoyable experience. Plan to return and would recommend.

Very good food. Great location. Service left a lot to be desired. Had to ask twice for wine bread and water. Main course served prior to appetizer (salad) and had to be tKen back. Clearing of table was erratic

Fantastic food. I wish he was in the north coastal area. There’s nothing here that can compare to the freshness, deep flavor and texture of the 2 dishes we ordered: tortellini in cream sauce and grilled eggplant covered in cheese in a thick marinara. Wines by the glass are weak in selection. Service was very good with owners coming round to see if we were happy. Tables in back left were best. It was too cold to sit on their nice patio. Be sure to use the correct lock on the lavatory door. We will go back whenever we’re in the area. Warning: steep hills surround restaurant. Perfect pre dinner for Music center, a block away.

The food was amazing but not before the waitress brought us someone else’s order and at the end we were given the incorrect bill.

Seated promptly. Waited on as promptly by a genuinely engaged server. Ordered three different types of entrees and all were outstanding. They came quickly and felt fresh and made with intention. Bus service was the best I’ve ever encountered. Ten stars would be insufficient. This place a true gem and will not disappoint. 10/10 no notes.

We had a perfect Christmas Menu dinner. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. Service from Andrea and Salvatore was attentive and thoughtful. Food was fresh and expertly prepared. Much variety in selections. We shared and enjoyed everything, especially the meatballs, lasagne, clam chowder and Cesar salad. Highly recommend!
