    Great food! A little loud, but still good. We enjoyed the experience but even our server had a hard time hearing us. Don’t go here for a quiet evening out. :-)

    The food is always phenomenal here. And it is the perfect place to go during the holidays because it’s right next to ice skating at PPG and Market Square.

    Upon arriving the hostess barely raised her head to acknowledge we were there. She was too busy playing on a tablet. Server was okay, did bare minimum, example, we were never asked if we wanted a second drink. Food was very good. Love smaller pasta portions. Should also do this with salads.

    Excellent place for brunch before the theatre. Pasta portion was small but very good. Gem salad was delicious. Italian mule was a nice addition.

    Had a lovely family brunch to celebrate our daughter's college acceptance. Food and drinks were great! Our server (Corinne) was really attentive and really sweet. The ambience is great--especially around the holidays because you can see the PPG ice skating rink outside.

    We had a reservation and they still ran out of bread! We didn’t get any. You call this an Italian restaurant?

    Had 7:30 reservations on a very busy Saturday night during the holiday season; were seated within 10 mins of arrival. Ordered drinks first, then 2 apps (caesar salad & frito misto) about 10 mins after the drink order. The apps arrived before the drinks, so it definitely took awhile to get those. For meals, we ordered a small fusilli pasta, small spaghetti and the duck entree. It arrived in a timely manner, hot and every single bite was better than the next. The only minor hiccup was having to wait for plates as we had informed our server we were sharing everything; so we ended up having to wait for those. Not a huge deal though. Since we went for our anniversary, we splurged for dessert and went with the chocolate torta. Outstanding and would definitely order again. Perfect ending to the meal. The one thing that was kind’ve disappointing was that we were never offered the complimentary bread/oil. We didn’t end up NEEDING it bc we left with full bellies, but it would’ve been nice to try. Overall, we’d definitely be back to try more dishes because the food was really outstanding.
