    Great experience here at W&W. Our only issue we encountered is that we arrived 10 mins early for our reservation and there isn’t a wait area and as it was raining and cold outside we had to wait right by the door entry/exit. It was really tight and not much room to maneuver. Other than that it was great service and great food. We definitely recommend and we will come back to experience more of the menu.

    Food was great, service was very slow and we had to keep reminding the staff to take our orders. Minimal check ins overall. Pasta is fantastic though.

    Wonderful neighborhood place. Service was good - always working but sometimes a little slow given how busy they were. Overall I would recommend it.

    First time there and fully met all the expectations set for me from a friend who has eaten there several times. Great menu options and terrific food. Also the kind of Italian restaurant I've been seeking since other of my favorites have gone out of business over the years.

    Great pasta. Sauces need a tad more refinement. Service and ambiance were lovely.
