Reviews
love this restaurant! i used to always go to the lincoln square location and had no idea there was one here. the food was just as good as i remembered, and everything came out great. david was our server and he was awesome—super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. definitely would come back again! :)
i wasn’t really impressed with the food. the mozzarella sticks and calamari weren’t bad, but the pasta was just okay. i will say the portions are huge, i got 3 portions out of my pasta. however, the pasta got so bland and boring that i ended up throwing some of it out. our server was nice and the food came out pretty quick. unfortunately, i don’t think i’d be back
Vodka pasta here was reallyyyyyy amazing. It comes in such a large portion my friend and I shared and we still didn’t finish it. The inside of the restaurant is small but still has optimized room for seating. Our server was very nice and checked on us regularly but not too much to where it was over bearing. Would definitely come back for more vodka pasta
This spot is perfect for a solo date or a cozy night out with your partner. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and the service is truly top-tier. I ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese with shell pasta and added spinach—my waiter’s recommendation—and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size was generous enough to last me two days, which was a huge plus!
Ordered through DoorDash and got the dinner for 2 special. Really liked this deal since we got to try a different variety of things for $60. The goat cheese and marinara (Tuffo Saporito) was surprisingly good and came with lots of breadsticks. Enjoyed the chopped salad and how big the proportions for it was. Pasta was good and the meat/shrimp was juicy and flavorful. Cheesecake was a great way to end the meal and wasn’t too sweet.
