The ravioli was not good. Too chewy as the pasta to filling ratio was far too pasta heavy. Pasta itself was really think and not a good conduit for the sauce. More filling and thinner pasta would have been preferred. Otherwise the burrata, pizzas, and rigatoni were great!!

Went for a date night, unfortunately we were sat next to a big party who was very loud. Not the fault of the restaurant per se, but the noise does carry. Overall the food was amazing, the service was unbelievably good, and once the big party left, it was much quieter and enjoyable. I’d recommend coming here!

Service wasn’t great. Waitress kept forgetting our food and it came out at inconsistent times. She seemed overwhelmed with the kitchen.

The meatball appetizer and sausage peppers were delish. The pappardelle was amazing. Love the fresh pasta.

Came here will some colleagues after a convention at McCormick. Bartender was great and over all service was good. They forgot our order of fries, but got them out quick after we reminded. I sampled Chicken parm, pizza (pepperoni & jalapeno) and rigatoni with vodka sauce. All were very good, but vodka sauce was my fav. I’d go back.
