★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Renato Castelo · Jan 2026

I placed a to-go order of spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread as appetizer. When the order was ready, I noticed how lightweight the bag was. I opened the small box containing the spaghetti and meatballs and I couldn't believe my eyes that I was paying $26 for this amount of food. I mentioned it to the host, who tried to explain the quality vs quantity ratio, and that they are not a "traditional" Italian restaurant – which I knew since I'm playing $26 for pasta. He offered to reimburse the bill, which was nice, but I said no thanks and took my order. The food was a bit underwhelming and spicy, which I don't understand why. I wanted to share it with my 2-year old and I couldn't because of that.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Erica V · Jul 2025

Underwhelming. 🙁 Some of our friends have recommended this place over the years & we finally decided to try it & were not super impressed. The food is mostly fine. The risotto tasted fresh but the texture was off & the garlic bread was soft & fluffy with the perfect little bit of crunch. However, I would avoid the linguini. The noodles were undercooked & the flavors don’t come together quite how they should. I think the entrees are overpriced for what they are ($28 for hard linguini & $32 for mushy risotto). I also expressed my dissatisfaction with the linguini & was offered the ability to order something else but was turned off and didn’t want anything else. They also didn’t comp our linguini, which is fine, but I only ate a few bites of it so was a bit surprised. The best thing about t

Delicious food and great service! We got the meatballs and the mozzarella arancini to start, both came out pretty quick and were yummy! Our server was very attentive to our needs. We got the new yorker pizza and Rye Cavatelli, both were the perfect size to not have any leftovers. Ive come here a handful of times and it always is a great time.

Fantastic food and service. The garlic bread with cauliflower dip was amazing as well as the pizzas. Highly recommend. Everyone was very welcoming.
