Went in for lunch but didn’t get the 25 dollar lunch because it requires the whole table to participate and didn’t have the ricotta dumplings. There also isn’t the special bread for lunch, but you can add some normal bread with butter for two dollars. I liked the ricotta dumplings more than the rigatoni alla vodka. The vodka sauce tasted more like tomato sauce. There’s better pasta in the city but this place has a really nice vibe. Mainly because the interior was nature-y without the bugs so it felt serene even though the people there talk as loud as monkeys. The service was great though. I never had to ask for a water refill and getting the bill paid was quick.

The design of this restaurant is wonderful, and it really makes you want to dine in there. Service is also very friendly and helpful, as well as polite and smiling all the time. However, I was a little disappointed with the food. It is not bad, don’t get me wrong, but I expected more. The freshly baked bread is a little too sweet, the ricotta dumplings are good but a little too creamy. The lasagna was spectacular! If they gave you the option to substitute the mushrooms for meat, I’m sure it would be even better! Tiramisu is a very important point for me in an Italian place, and this one is closer to a chocolate cake, so I don’t recommend it. I will probably be back so I try more dishes, but it is a little overpriced for the quality of the food you get. You also pay for the experience and the environment, so I do recommend that!

This might be the most beautiful restaurant I’ve ever been in. The food was incredible. My friend and I got the rigatoni alla vodka and the wood fired bread. The bread looks like it may or may not be good – it isn’t just good. It is GREAT. Order it! I really appreciated that before we started ordering, our server asked if anyone had any food allergies. As someone who has food allergies, I really appreciated that the server asked from the get-go.

Our new favorite place to eat. I went here for my 30th birthday with my wife and we loved it! Best meal I’ve had in a long time. The service was impeccable and the food was so delicious. We had the wood fire bread and chopped salad to start and were already in love. The bread was soft and the addition of honey was perfect. For entrees we had the rigatoni and chicken parmesean. Do not skip on the rigatoni. It was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The chicken parmesean was also delicious but for being so expensive I think we would skip it next time and try another pasta dish. For dessert, we had the seasonal crostata and they brought out some birds cake Gelato. Both were great but we were so full by that point it was a struggle to finish them.

Great place to get together for all types of celebrations, or just a regular date night . I’ve been here on multiple occasions and the staff are usually very attentive. I love the tagliatelle (my fave dish from them) and the margherita pizza! Don’t sleep on the wood fire bread too, it’s sweet & savory,and it can be shared amongst 4 people. Will be back soon.

Came here for the first time for an anniversary dinner and was not disappointed! I had heard about this place from a TikTok, and it just looked gorgeous and had great reviews. I was a bit skeptical because a lot of times restaurants in this price point are overrated/overhyped, but this certainly isn’t one of those. J.B. was our server, and he was perfectly attentive, had a great demeanor, and made some great recommendations as well. The decor and ambience are unique, beautiful, and comfortable. All our food was excellent, and we left knowing we’ll be coming back again. I absolutely recommend this place.

My friend and I came for dinner and everything we got was great! We each got an aperol spritz. There are actually several types but we just got the original. We then ordered the whipped ricotta dip for an appetizer and the rigatoni and bucatini for the entrees. 10/10 recommend. Can’t wait to come back!

A beautiful Italian restaurant right around the loop! I had a great time at this restaurant as the ambiance, service, and food was amazing! There’s a natural yet modern feel to the inside and the staff was kind and very efficient. We got the rigatoni and the chicken parm and both were great! I’d definitely recommend a meal here if you haven’t been already!

Italian hot spot, had the good Tuna Crudo and underwhelming Ravioli, I have to stop ordering ravi with cheese and cream sauce as it tends to bland out to me with so few punches of flavor, needed more of the caramelized onion . Excellent attentive service! I have mixed impressions of the decor, the trellis created seating areas but the fake hanging greens are a bit cheesy.
