We ordered the primavera ($34) to split and it came topped with mozzarella, pesto, ricotta, english peas, fava beans, and spring onions. They also offer chili flakes or this amazing chili oil if you want a splash of heat. It seemed like most tables ordered the margherita, so will have to come by to give it a try.

Our dining experience was not necessarily negative, but it did not live up to the expectations that…read morePausa should have. All in all there were a couple main issues: reservations and special requests that were made for group dining several weeks before hand and confirmed were not honored and , several dishes were "just alright," and the kitchen had "lost" several tickets so items were not delivered and had to be reordered. As we sampled multiple of the Entrees, the only star of the evening was the Mezzi Rigatoni which did make the rounds of the table for everyone to try. This was juxtaposed to other dishes that should have been standout, such as the duck breast or pappardelle to be lackluster in comparison. Dessert was the same, with only the Bombolini a winner. The Tiramisu and Panna Cotta came in at the 5/10 and neither lived up to their name and would be better enjoyed if you were not predisposed to expecting a specific dessert. The Chocolate Trifle was a complete miss. I can see what the aim was but the foam did not work. With that all being said, the seating was aesthetic and the cocktails and wine that were offered were quite good- kudos to the bartender

The complimentary bread with their homemade sauce is also delicious and a nice pre-meal snack.

My colleague pals and I would often come here after work to decompress and enjoy homemade Italian food. Their bruschetta is always good, as is their Polpette (meatballs in sauce).

It was as delicious as always...the cioppino broth was rich and warming (perfect for dipping the crusty bread!) and the lasagna had meaty savory layers with a great cheese pull! I will miss coming here but so glad, we got to have one last good dinner here. Wishing Francesco and Manuela the best on their next adventure!

Though the place was not packed, it took a bit for our food to be served. It helped that the bread came out quickly. The dip for the bread was very good. That was really enjoyable. The heirloom burrata starter was a missed. Although good portion, it was bland and poorly seasoned. Our entrees however, were delicious! We had the Octopus Spaghetti and the Linguine Vongole. Each dish had very distinct flavors and tastefully pleasing! We ended the meal with the tiramisu. It was simple, light and homely.

It wasn't a huge deal, but we were expecting indoor seating and we felt like the vibe of the meal was different given we were literally eating on the sidewalk. We asked to be moved to an indoor table but were told they were for reservations...which we had. For food, we got their classic gnocchi appetizer, the bolognese lasagna, and their seafood pasta along with a few nonalcoholic drinks. Everything was tasty but relatively high priced. For example, the seafood pasta was $35. The lasagna bolognese was good, but we felt that it actually had too much cheese. Gnocchi was good but not worth $14. Service was friendly, but we didn't appreciate how our waitress tried to push the burrata appetizer on us at least three times.
