My family thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The seating is very tight, with tables so close to each other. But, the overall ambiance was great, as were the servers. We started with a delicious bottle of COS Nero di Lupo wine, from Sicily. Our app for the 3 of us, was the Buratta, which when spread on the great bread for the table, was really good. My wife had the bucatini cacio e pepe was good, but a bit gummy. Taste was great. My son had the Ossobuco ravioli in its sauce, pecorino fondue, thyme and lemon. He rated that as excellent! I tasted and agreed. I opted for the Green Tagliatelle with Wild Boar Ragù Flavoured with Herbs and Black Truffle. Fantastic! When I made the reservation, I noted that we were there for my older son's birthday. They surprised him with cannolis and a candle. Nice touch! One additional comment, there are many wine options, but the vast majority are quite expensive. The one bottle I asked for, which was somewhat reasonable, was out of stock. The bottle we did get was $25 more, but as stated above, delicious. I do highly recommend this restaurant!

Ottima cucina italiana, piatti molto buoni. Unica pecca i avevamo il tavolo vicino alla porta ed entrava continuamente freddo e i tavoli sono troppo ammassati.
