   This is an immaculate restaurant and wine bar! The vibes are excellent for date night or girly dinners. It’s a super small restaurant but the great music and ambient lighting adds to the cozy atmosphere. Had to call to make a reservation for 6 people on a Saturday night and even though our table wasn’t ready, the servers Diego and Andy made sure we were taken care of and treated us to some wine! The pasta portions are big enough to split so 4 girls split 2 pastas + the burrata with prosciutto while the 2 GF girlies each got the octopus. Our pastas were DEVINE and so tasty (carbonara and bucatini amatriciana) but our friends said the grilled octopus was too chewy?? took like a million bites to get down apparently lol. Finished the night off strong with PANNACOTTA and even though I’m usually a tiramisu girl I would come back just for that.

   I love that the restaurant gives you a few wines to try based on your mood and grape you're looking for. The pasta was amazing. The atmosphere is super romantic and cute. The owner clearly paid close attention to aesthetic - the fans on the ceiling are operated by gears, and all of the wine goblets are one of a kind. We had a wonderful meal!

   Check your receipt because they tried to charge for an extra glass of wine and an extra $35 wine fee for opening (could not understand what this was for). We simply each had one glass of red wine they recommended to us after using their spinner.

   i know this makes me sound no fun - but im sober RN, and i dont eat cheese or gluten. i ordered a zero proof drink, and they brought me an alc one instead - i realized after a sip so not the biggest drama - but also not fun. then i ordered my pasta sans cheese on top -but it arrived with. given service was really slow and it'd taken awhileeeeee to get our food, i elected to just scrape cheese vs send it back - but again - not ideal. in general service felt slow - after i was finished, my main sat for 20 mins before they took it at my request. the music was really loud for such a small space, and the music had lyrics - which at times pulls attention from a conversation cause the brain doesnt know what to latch onto. the room was also really warm - which on a 90 degree day, can be a lot. that the bill was over $200 didnt feel great.
