Ambiance is lively, fun, warm. Service was good. The pesto gnocchi and carbonara alone are worth going back for. We split the 24oz dry aged NY strip and very much enjoyed it, also a great value. The patata larda and sautéed mushroom sides were lackluster. Mushrooms cooked in scorched oil, not even a pinch of salt. Overall kind of disappointed with the sides. But we'll definitely be back for the pastas, maybe try the steak with the bitter green salad next time. Although we didn't try the pizza they looked and smelled delicious.

The ambience was nice? Modern and clean our food was so delicious with good quality ingredients, particularly the bacon. Our waitress was so sweet and professional. It was my first time there with my friend and we had so much to talk about and didn’t feel the noise level was bad at all even with it being busy. Definitely coming here again! I got the sour dough bacon egg and cheese with aioli. It was perfect and hot.

This restaurant has a variety of tasty choices. My soup was spiced just right, it came in a rustic bowl with a generous side of homemade bread. I especially loved the Turkish coffee!
