The pasta was super fresh but my dish lacked serious flavor. Was a shame. Adorable restaurant though....but not a repeat for me.

Very noisy! Overall we enjoyed the food. However, I couldn’t tell that brisket was used in the bolognese. It seemed more like just ground beef. Would have preferred it to be more like a ragu with shredded brisket and maybe a red wine sauce.

The food was excellent, really fresh, authentic and well presented. The restaurant space is very small, and the night we went it was crowded, every table filled, which is good for restaurant business but made the noise level outrageous. I'm not sure if they have enough staff to handle all the tables when they are full, so the service was slow, however they were friendly and apologized about it. What really matters is the food! Which was sooooo good, and the prices are not bad. Will come back when I am in that area again.

Insalata Mista was creative and excellent. Our pasta dishes were equally excellent, and different from what we have had at other neighborhood restaurants, so having Water & Wheat a block from home is truly additive. Service was friendly and efficient. We will certainly be back!
