1) When making our reservation, they inquired if we were celebrating a special occasion (an anniversary, in our case), but sadly, no mention of this was made throughout our meal, which was a bit disappointing.
2) The ambiance does not align with the menu and pricing. Entering the restaurant felt like we were sneaking in through a back door, navigating a cramped space by the bar. Paper tablecloths? I half expected crayons to be provided. The cheap-looking lights, seemingly sourced from Amazon, served as the centerpiece on our table. The noise level was so high in the dining room that my wife and I struggled to hear each other. Although most guests were dressed appropriately, it was odd to ha...
To start, we ordered the semolina-crusted fried seafood bowl as an appetizer. It included calamari, anchovies, and some additional seafood (but no shrimp). Everything was perfectly seasoned, coated in semolina, and deep-fried, leaving a delightful lemony aftertaste. It was simply superb! We paired our appetizer with some Italian club soda and a refreshing non-alcoholic drink called "Honey," which complemented the fried seafood wonderfully. I would highly recommend this combo.
For the main course, my friend ordered orzo, while I chose Atlantic prawns served in a garlicky wine reduction broth. The aroma was amazing, and the taste lived up to it! They also boast an excellent wine selection, so...
Not a great atmosphere but good food. There’s a green octopus tentacle on the west wall that feels like your are in a daycare and a weird, tacky green curtain thing on the strange kitchen entrance. Touch lamps instead of candle light and uncomfortable cafeteria type chairs. Service is slow and inattentive with phrases like, “we take the whole order at once bc we r full and prepare everything to order.” They weren’t close to being full and no they don’t. Calamari app was good but salty. Zucchini app is good but small. Muscle app was fantastic and enough for 4. Cheese choices were delish but less than 1 ounce for 4 ppl. Meat choices were very generous. Bread service is embarrassing w a 2 inch...
I highly recommend making a reservation. We were fortunate enough to get a seat at the bar, where our bartender also served us. He was incredibly patient as he assisted us in choosing a cheese to pair with our appetizer. We tried the zucchini fritters with goat cheese, which were delicious. For our main courses, I ordered the pasta carbonara, while my spouse went for the roasted tomato orzo with crab meat. We finished with strawberry gelato for dessert. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. Just a heads up: the servings are small plates and everything is served individually. It’s a fantastic spot for celebrations like birthdays, anniversaries, or any special occasion.

The restaurant has a policy of charging $25 per person for no-show reservations. The menu is complicated and hard to navigate, almost requiring a master's degree in Italian just to place an order. The cheese and meat appetizer is priced a la carte, costing $7-8 for each selection. The bread serving was minimal and the type of bread was unclear. The menu is poorly organized and presented on sheets of paper. To make matters worse, there was no Chianti available, and tiramisu was off the menu in an Italian restaurant. While the food was good, the selections were limited and prices were inflated.
The food was outstanding, particularly the carbonara, which I highly recommend. By 6:00 PM, the bar became quite busy, and it tends to get very loud, making it difficult to talk to the bartender. Some soundproofing would really help improve the situation. Overall, it has a nice atmosphere and offers excellent cuisine. Just so you know, there are no TVs in the bar.
We really enjoyed the service at our table, but unfortunately, the other staff members were quite rude to us and ignored our attempts at Deaf communication. The food, however, was fantastic! Thank you. Food rating: 5/5.
The food was perfectly prepared and tasted incredible. I highly recommend dining here. The atmosphere is pleasant, although it can be a bit noisy. Food: 5/5

The meal is a good value for the price. Unfortunately, the pasta wasn't cooked to al dente, but the sauce and the rest of the dish were quite enjoyable.
It was good food and nice decor and atmosphere. I did not have reservations but was still able to get a table and great service.Food: 4/5
