    The drinks, the food and the service were all incredible. My carbonara was so good and rich.

    Great service and very good food! I couldn't pronounce half the stuff on the menu, but my meal and my fiancé's meal were very tasty.

    Came here for a belated Valentine's Day dinner with my fiancé. I recommend making a reservation as this place definitely gets packed! The service was great and the servers and hostess were very attentive. We ordered for appetizers the calamari and focaccia with whipped ricotta. Both are a must get. The calamari with banana peppers was a great touch as it cut the greasiness of the fried calamari. The focaccia was fresh and the cold ricotta was a great contrast to the warm bread! By the time our meal came out we were pretty stuffed but the pasta was also amazing! The bolognese was rich and meaty and the gnocchi Quattro formagio was creamy and delicious! Would recommend again for a date night out!

    So we came for my birthday and it was a surprise for me. I hadn't don't any research since I didn't know this is where our reservation was. The ambiance is nice and not too upscale. There are areas to sit where you can look outside at folks walking by and see traffic. It's really not a big place. The food was good. We had ravioli and spaghetti with appetizers. I wouldn't choose this spot for a birthday dinner again but it is nice for a date night. Our server was great but I forgot his name.

    Carbonara with scallops!

    Best pasta I've had in a long time! Nice restaurant with great service. The host was super nice and accommodated us even though we had no reservations. Carbonara was fresh and super tasty. Portion size was Just the right amount . Recommend 100%! The limoncello spritz which was delicious For desert had tiramisu, which was good. Definitely will return if I'm passing through Lexington.

Ran into this wonderful woman who happened to notice my car said Purdue alumni and my sister's shirt also was a Purdue shirt (my niece is at Purdue). She jokingly called us the Purdue people and then told us one of her sons graduated from Purdue. We're just so happy to also be stopping to get some lunch. She told us about this restaurant. So of course we decided to do lunch here. The bread, the meatball appetizer were great. We got the Italian subs. Very delicious!! next time we are in Lexington We will most definitely stop again. Maybe this time we can try the pasta. We shouldn't forget about the service. Both the Host and the waitress were top-notch.

So first -- major credit where it's due: the service was fantastic. It was busy, it was chaotic, it was love-in-the-air level packed... and our server was still kind, attentive, and genuinely great. It was a little slow, but honestly? On Valentine's Day? Totally understandable. Now, let's talk food. The meatball appetizer? Outstanding. If the whole meal had that same energy, this would be a different review. Those meatballs came in like the confident main character. I ordered the Chicago beef (hot instead of sweet), expecting bold, juicy, maybe-a-little-spicy goodness. Instead... it tasted like someone whispered "beef" from another room. I kept waiting for the flavor to arrive. It never did. I'm not saying it was bland, but salt might have been an optional add-on. My husband ordered the Manzo Parmesan pasta. He eats medium rare. This steak was blue. Not "a little under." Not "oops." It was grazing-in-a-field-five-minutes-ago rare. If it mooed, I wouldn't have been shocked. BUT -- we need to talk about the music. The playlist was elite. Every song that came on was something off my Apple playlist. At one point I genuinely wondered if they'd somehow tapped into my phone. 10/10 vibes. I was half expecting my "On Repeat" playlist to start playing next. All that said, the staff truly did their best on one of the busiest nights of the year, and we appreciated that. The bones of a really good experience are there especially if the kitchen can bring the same magic to the entrées that they brought to those meatballs. Would we try it again? Maybe but next time I'm ordering whatever the meatballs are having... and asking for the playlist.

Our service has always been excellent and we have enjoyed our meals in a quiet atmosphere. Perfect. We. Love. Their. Chicken. Marsala! Their Caesar salad is our favorite.

She spent most of her time standing around with other waitresses talking. We were seated as far from the kitchen as you could be and she was so loud yelling that we could hear every word. There was a small child sitting at a table alone that the wait staff kept checking on. Not sure if this was an employee's child that they brought to work with them. As we were about to eat, the hostess seated a man and his dog across from us. It was not a service dog. As the waitresses surrounded the puppy the owner explained it was 8 weeks old and he just got it yesterday. He sat the dog in the chair, on the table, and walked it across the restaurant, in which the wait staff pet it then went back to waiting tables. Our waitress then sat at the table with the child (close to the hostess podium) and other waitresses and yelled across the restaurant to the kitchen to order herself an Italian salad. The food was awful. We ordered the chicken parm and mezalluna. The chicken was beaten paper thin and the pasta was room temp and flavorless. We added the spices they bring for the bread to the dishes in an attempt to add some flavor. $50 for water, two entrees, and a very disappointing lunch service. Based on our dining experience, we do not recommend this restaurant and will not return.
