Customer Reviews
Dining here was a sensory delight. The pasta dishes were exquisite, especially the Mentaiko Lumache with pistachios. Our pizzas were excellent; true Napoli style. Being seated at the kitchen counter allowed us to watch the chefs ply their art. That itself was almost as enjoyable as the tasty desserts. Strongly recommend.
We have been here about 7 times over the years - and have brought many friends along for the fun. It is truly a great experience every time, food amazing, attentive staff and slightly updated dishes to make it interesting. Be ready for an adventure and open to new flavor combos! You will not be disappointed. I started with a Hana Hachi drink which is so fun - I usually get 2, very mezcal smokey, but sweet-ish. So great. We went with another couple so we ordered more for the 4 of us. We started with the gem salad and all agreed it was not "just a salad" - so bright, light and tasty. Crispy brussels were a special and fantastic - lick the plate great. Duck tataki was our adventure choice and really great - duck was perfect and mango made it light and sweet - what an amazing combo of flavors.
Amazing, delicious, Cyrus and Dreyon were the best seriously such a pleasure to spend our anniversary here!! Highly reccomend the Mentaiko (coe-rod, pistacho, basil situation we were reccomended) and the Verdi pizza. We had also a dessert I can't remember the name of (squash puree, candied nuts, apples). Insane. 10/10
Years overdue, but one experience was able to define my entire impression of this establishment because the food was really good. Some of the items in my pictures no longer exist on the menu, but I have faith that whatever they have decided to replace those items with must be great as well. It is also cool to see some of the items that I had in 2021 are still around! I am honestly really happy to see it. Pretty much everything was a hit in my opinion. The A5 wagyu nigiri resulted in one very pleasant bite because the wagyu beef, which was supposed to be fatty in texture, did it work in providing the rice with a rich flavor as well. The panzanella had multiple ingredients such as cucumber, avocado, and serrano pepper, and having a bonito mayo giving it additional flavor made the dish work
I went there for Valentine's Day after hearing good things. Despite having a reservation, we waited over an hour to be seated in a crowded waiting area. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. The pacing of the meal was completely off: drink pairings arrived 5-10 minutes after we had already finished the corresponding course. Several dishes were served noticeably cold. The timing issues made the whole experience feel chaotic and poorly executed and the temperature of the food made it feel like we were eating leftovers. If I could, I would give this experience 0/5 stars.
