    Ambiance was great. I recommend requesting a seat by the window or main area. Drinks and food were wonderful. Dear I say best rigatoni in the city!? Also, highly recommend the olive oil gelato for a sweet finish!

    My wife and I absolutely love dining here. We come here almost every time we come downtown for lunch. The food is spectacular. We love sitting at the bar. Joel is a top-notch hospitality professional. The whole team is incredibly warm and kind. Antonio was a very attentive, busser and support staff member. Can’t get enough of the Arancini, pizza, and pasta of every kind.
