We had the Best Waitress and she was the perfect compliment to our guests and table. She handled the drinks and appetizers and our dinners flawlessly! The table could have been larger for what we ordered but we all managed ! Each dish was prepared PERFECTLY! Each dish tasted PERFECTLY, each dish was plated PERFECTLY, and each dish was DEVOURED! I have not had a diner such as what we ate in years. The Chefs must be culinary Geniuses! Being 100% Italian I was overwhelmed by each meal! It was a culinary delight to have dined here! Kudos to the Staff, the Bartender Beth, our Waitress Isabella and of course the credit all goes to the Chef! Thank you!

Pros: great size, fair price, really cool flavor combinations. Cons: not generous with the "fancier" toppings (like the meatballs on my pizza), flavorless crust, too floppy, overwhelming garlic on mine. I think we would give them another chance because I really haven't found any pizza places that impress me here and they are great price and size for sharing.

This spot has been on my "I should try that someday" list for a few years, and I'm so glad I…read morefinally made it in. The first thing that surprised me was how much seating they offer. The outdoor area is inviting, and inside there's a great mix of low-top tables, high-tops, bar seating, and cozy spots to settle into. Everything feels thoughtfully spread out, and I loved being able to see the open brick oven and activity in the kitchen. The space also has a bit of a bakery/café vibe, making it feel like a place where you could stop in for a quick grab-and-go item or stay awhile for a full meal. The staff made a great impression too. The people at the front were incredibly helpful to my guest, who was having some trouble with their phone. I also ordered one of the specialty drinks but asked for it without alcohol. The bartender absolutely nailed it--it was so good that my only complaint was that it didn't come in a bigger glass. For food, I had the grass-fed burger and fries (see photo), and it exceeded my expectations. The burger was so juicy and flavorful that I ended up cutting it into pieces just to make it manageable. Every bite was delicious. What I appreciate most is that I left feeling like I hadn't even experienced everything the restaurant has to offer. I already want to go back, choose a different seat, and enjoy a completely different perspective of the space. Honestly, it feels like the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. This is your sign, visit now!

My boyfriend loved his corn beef hash- looks small but very filling, rich and flavorful but wish it had more eggs. I didn't love the crostata. I heavily appreciated that the "greens" actually had other vegetables added to them to make it interesting and the potatoes were too crispy for me but that's personal preference. The crostata was good size and I loved the crust, I was just disappointed that it advertised goat cheese and I couldn't taste any. After eating we went inside to look at their pastry selection and they are absolutely beautiful!! We got the cream puff (gigantic and delicious), Nutella croissant (10/10 should get), and the butter cookie which was delicious but wish it was denser. The service truly blew me away and for that we Weill definitely be back to try more things.

For my main, I had the Steak Coulotte, again cooked nicely but reminded me of Brazilian meats, a little bland, more seasoning would knock this out of the park, the fingerling potatoes and asparagus were slightly underdone but not detrimental to the meal. My companion had a pizza, lovely dough, nice toppings but the sauce (which was also the side for the steak), tasted like a watered down Irish / British brown sauce, nice in small measures but wrong here. The waitress actually took it off the bill when she realized it wasn't going down well. You may think I've damned with faint praise, not so, all the basics were there, the chef just needs to tweak it up.

Very well balanced - I especially liked the stracciatella. Taleggio Capeletti (7/10): A bit too rich and too salty for my tastes. I think this dish just needed something to cut through the richness. Still really good nonetheless. Lumache (8/10): The chew on the pasta is impeccable!! The chew on those mushrooms is also insane. Texture-wise, this dish was a home run. For some reason, I kept getting hints of something resembling boar taint in the sauce flavor itself. Not sure why... I don't think there was meat? I feel like I would've given this dish a 10/10 had it not been for the hint of that flavor. Service was very friendly and fast. The restaurant is small, but the seating didn't feel too tight. Even though I gave it a 5/5, I actually don't know if I would come again. The pasta was very steeply priced for not that much food. Although the capeletti was surprisingly filling, I'd rather feel full on carbs than full on pure butter and cheese.

I have ordered from here at least three times prior the same buffalo chicken pizza, everytime the order has come out great, this is not a review on the actual product but the customer service and willingness to take accountability for when the staff messes up an order. Today I ordered a large Buffalo chicken pizza and they forgot to add an ingredient to the the pizza, instead of taking accountability they refused to take responsibility for their mistake and fix it, they denied the mistake and argued with me about it and said that Ingredient NEVER EXISTED (mind you I ordered this pizza three times in the past two months) so I'm confused? Anyway horrible customer service, it could have been easily resolved but instead they chose to argue with the customer. The staff was so rude that "the manager" of the establishment or the person who said they were the manager actually yelled at me and said " I AM THE MANAGER AND WE DONT MAKE IT THAT WAY" now I am a pretty logical human being and I'm pretty sure that if the pizza wasn't ever made the way I ordered it (buffalo chicken with blue cheese drizzle mind you buffalo chicken pizza without blue cheese is like peanut butter without the jelly, a margarita without the tequila) anyway back to my point.....I would never have brought up the simple fixable problem in the first place lol but either way they were horrible and they have officially lost my business that's no way to treat a customer whose paying you their hard earned money. AND AFTER ALL OF THAT WHEN I ASKED FOR THE BLUE CHEESE THEY DIDNT EVEN WANT TO GIVE IT TO ME? They wanted to charge me.... I can't lol BYE BYE PAPA RINOS. read more
