    Excellent neighborhood Italian restaurant. It competes well with any of the gourmet Italian restaurants in Philadelphia. Interesting, creative menu. It would definitely be more popular if it was on one of Philadelphia’s restaurant rows. A local gem.

    Food came out quickly and we enjoyed most of our dishes overall. Portions were small, especially with my arugula salad, which was definitely overpriced. We were very disappointed that the options for water were unfiltered tap water or bottled water at 8:50 a bottle!!! How hard is it to buy a water filter and serve filtered water to your guests?? We spent way too much money for the quality and quantity of food. We won't be back.

    This has been a consistently good place since it opened. I can never decide what to get but it’s always good. One thing: music was too loud and IMO not in synch with the ambience. Pop music! How about some quiet jazz or light classical?
