Great atmosphere, great wine, great service, amazing Cesar salad -- but our pasta was a tad under al dente, making the bite a little harder than they had intended.

Honestly surprised at this experience. Wait staff seemed flustered and struggling to keep up from the minute we walked through the door. Never put a drink menu down. Never put down serving utensils for one dish. Struggled to flag down our server or hear her when she came due the noise level. Decor was minimal / industrial - concrete and metal. Felt like an unfinished construction project accented by poor quality fake plants. Pasta was served al-dente, rigatoni overly so. Meatballs texture was mushy. Flavors were good. Standout was the gnocchi - light, interesting and delicious. Pizza was good. They were out of the affogato dessert which we looked forward to. The only bread in the meal came with the meatballs dish. For $25 pasta dishes they should have served bread. I would not return.

The service was great! Loved our waitor. The food was ok. A lot of potential but every food item we had was just a little off. Almost like they’re doing too much. Chicken was bland too, huge bummer.

Samantha, Glad you loved your server, sad you didn't enjoy the food. Sounds like maybe a seasoning issue, as the food is typically one of the highlights. We will discuss with our chef team. Thank you for the feedback.

We tried a bunch of different things on the menu and everything we ordered was delicious! The cocktails were also great and they have a surprisingly extensive wine list. Will definitely be back.
