Customer Reviews
This restaurant is as good as they say, I fear! Given the very high hype surrounding this restaurant, I was fully expecting to be disappointed and have an excuse to never come back. I managed to snag a booking the day before but only for a 9:30pm slot. When we came, the place was super buzzy still even at 9:30. The server (Zach) was super friendly and open about answering questions and giving recommendations. Between the two of us, we had pizza Bianca with stracciatella, the trevisano salad, the bucatini with anchovy butter, and the taleggio cappelletti. Everything was a standout. There were truly no misses. The salad was perhaps a touch too acidic for me but my friend was obsessed with it. The cappelletti is suuuuuper rich so if you’re into that, like me, you’ll love it because they’re
I have both good things to say and some critiques. Let me follow a chronological order. The wine selection was the most disappointing part since the restaurant didn't carry any natural (red) wine. The pizza bianca along with stracciatella was good overall but the breads were too crispy. I ordered 4 pasta dishes. Cappelletti was the highlight of the night. It was heavenly! I found the limache, bugatini, and rigatoni average. Even more that the bugatini was too heavy, and I personally am not a fan of bread crumbs. Desserts were too playful. Salt was excessive on both tiramisu and Panna Cotta. My wife didn't like the milk chocolate on tiramusu, she was expecting a darker chocolate. The restaurant was kid friendly. Though, I expect from any restaurant to be able to make simple pasta dishes wi
100/10 experience and service! Tonino creates a well-curated, heartfelt dining experience. The service is impeccable; our server walked our table through the wine and spirits menu, allowing my grandmother to taste. Amazing meal all around - get all the dips and desserts. My grandmother even commented on how the eggplant caponata tasted just like her Sicilian mother’s and that she hadn’t tried one that good in 40 years! 🥲
Finally was able to snag reservation that worked after a few weeks of trying to corral people together. The restaurant itself was great. I thought it was a little too dark but overall had a great ambiance and cute, subdued aesthetic. The music and general noise was also at a comfortable level, a nice touch which many restaurants get wrong. The service was also great. Very attentive and helpful for guiding us through the popular items, specials, and personal favorites. As a hungry group of three first-timers, we ordered 4 pastas, 2 desserts, a pizza bianca and sauce, and a slice of pizza. This amount ended up being right for leaving satiated without overly stuffed. The pizza pianca, like breadsticks, and pizza slice, like a "granny slice," was surprising light and really enjoyable. If you l
Definitely worth the hype. The food is exceptional. Pizza Bianca with the tomato relish is delicious bite and the bread is so perfect, the pepperoni pizza with hot honey is probably the only thing we ate that you can skip but it's still really good, clams and guanciale is cooked to perfection and the sauce is addicting, the bucatini with chilli anchovy butter is one of my favorite dishes I've had, perfect chew and flavor. The sausage cavatelli was a delicious change of pace again a perfect cook on the pasta, finally the taleggio signature dish, absolutely delicious, if you're going with a group I'd probably get it as a shared plate because it is so so rich. Service was also stellar
