Great food, everything was delicious. We live close by and have been here a couple of times, love that they have a community table for walk ins since reservations are hard to get. I have a cough and jokingly asked if they could make me a hot toddy. After initially saying no, they procured the ingredients and surprised me with one, which I thought was super extra!

Cute and cozy. Food was pretty yummy but not necessarily awesome or amazing. Service was great. Overall, a lovely spot if you’ve got $50-60 pp to spend on decent Italian.

Was so excited to try this after loving Andro’s for years! The ambience was fantastic and our waitress was EXCELLENT. The drinks she made for us were not in the menu and same LOVED them (aperol spritz). She should be teaching the other staff how to make them and get them added to the menu because wow! Delish! The appetizers were good - nothing blew us away. Portions were a bit small. Focaccia was not special enough to cost the amount it did - it was a cracker /quesadilla vibe. Still good but not great. Brussels sprout special app was too small to share. Calamari was very good but needs a sauce. But again - tasted delish. Arancini was delicious. Arugula salad was yummy. Pastas we got were good - but again not great. It seemed like the menu was seeking to be unique and I didn’t experience it coming across successfully. Next time I will go with something classic instead of trying new items. Dessert items were yummy just like andro’s. Overall, was good experience but I’m hoping that pasta improves. Will give another chance most likely since I have nothing but faith in the team behind Andro’s.
