    Really nice hidden speakeasy vibe and beautiful inside. Food was just ok. Chicken parm, spaghetti/meatballs and bolognese skimped on the sauce and the flavors were meh. The rice balls and the vodka pasta were delish. Menu is limited, which is fine, but then everything should be really good. Drinks and service were top notch.

    Vibes are fantastic, service was very good, and drinks were excellent; food was closer to a 4/5 though. Nothing terrible, but didn’t “wow” either, and a few small misses. They bring out focaccia to every table, and ours was slightly undercooked and still doughy at the bottom; we also got the pesto orecchiette (good), the short rib cappelletti (very good), and the bolognese which was unfortunately under-seasoned. The tiramisu at the end was excellent. Overall had a nice time but a few small food execution errors prevented it from being outstanding.

    Pasta wasn’t al dente, arancini tasted like it had been made two days prior. Ambiance was incredible but not worth going for the food

    Too expensive for less than quality dinner. Took over 10-15 min to get a new drink
