We actually tried coming here 2 nights before we actually did get to come and were told that it would be a 45 minute wait, so we decided to wait another day and come back. This time seated immediately but did get lucky as 10 mins after I know there was a line.

Machiavelli was great, worth the wait time to get a spot. Our friends are regulars and love their carbonara, which was really heavy on the garlic this time… Their lasagne Bolognese was very saucy (kind of more of a liquid than solid food) which I didn’t expect. Chicken parmigiana was 10/10 and I would definitely recommend it, probably would go back just for that. Try it out if you love authentic Italian cuisine.

Very cramped. I called and called to order a to go items. After the 5th time, someone picked up the phone and sat it down on counter.

Fantastic lasagna, and the best tortellini I’ve ever had. Fantastic service was provided to us and we were not dressed appropriately. Thank you. I shall return!

Great experience here! The fettuccine bolognese was pretty delicious even though it was a bit too garlicky. The pizza was New York style and to die for! I highly recommend the pizza! Drinks were reasonably priced and the service was excelente!!

We were excited to try this due to the great reviews, and waited 50 minutes for a table as they don’t take reservations. Unfortunately was the worst pizza we had ever had – the dough was barely cooked, and the underside of the pizza was coated in about 1/2 a cup of flour. Even scraping it off you were still left with a mouthful of flour. The pasta was fine, but not sure it was handmade and if so, very overpriced. Service was great but this place is not worth the wait or the money.

I’d give a 4.5 star if I can! The food is okay, but the ambiance and service is amazing. The place is cozy and feels local, and the staff members are very friendly and chatty. The food feels homey but I don’t recommend the carbonara.

This restaurant is a no-frills, classic Italian dining experience with quality service and quality food. Their menu is simple, but affordable. Don’t come here expecting creativity or over the top production. This is a lineup of just the hits, and they all hit. We had pizza, salad, and pasta, and with each course our plates were entirely clean. Would highly recommend.
