There is a very small bar but some nights they will not serve food there. It has a downstairs, a patio and the main dining room. Bathroom is off the bar area. We had reservations but were early as we knew parking was crazy. Met some great folks while waiting. Bartenders were fast putting drinks out and giving a little show while doing it. Started with the toasted ravioli as they claim 'they invented it. Got cheese and meat. The sauce that came with was so good we couldn't wait to get our food! I had the tortellini de papa with prosciutto and garlic cream sauce. So good! My husband enjoyed his pizza but remarked the pepperoni was a little salty. It was fine for me. Too full for dessert. This area will be a stop from now on when we visit!

    Ambiance (5/5): Super busy on a Sunday night but we managed to get a corner table. A little dark on…read morethe inside and on the noisier side. Service (4/5): It was a bit difficult to get service when they were so busy. The food came out relatively quick with no issues. The young waiter was very friendly. Toasted Ravioli (4/5): Glad we came and tried their famous homemade ravs. They had an exterior crunch with some meat on the inside. The marinara sauce went great with it. Chicken caprese salad (4/5): Added chicken to the salad and they did not skimp on the protein! I liked the vinaigrette that the salad came with. Penne a la Vodka (5/5): It was both rich and creamy. The flavors were on point and delicious all around. Found parking nearby with no problem.

    My daughter and I started out with bread that was not warm, which is surprising. These days, a lot…read moreof places make you pay for bread, which is disheartening, so this was a plus anyway that they offered us bread, albeit cold. We ordered a bottle of Amarone and enjoyed it with the whole meal. For starters, we ordered the polenta with Italian sausage between the two of us. We could only exclaim about how creamy the polenta was. It was extremely hearty, with some vegetables and thinly sliced Italian sausage. I'm glad that the Italian sausage was thinly sliced because otherwise it would have been overpowering for my palette. The next dish that my daughter had was technically a Caprese salad, which was tomato and mozzarella. She didn't like the red onion, but had asked for balsamic vinegar on the side, which she added to the salad, and when I tried the balsamic vinegar, even I realized that it is one of the best that I have ever had. My daughter went with the gnocchi, and said that it was among the best that she had ever had. We shared a veal and mushroom risotto between the two of us, and it was perfectly moist, the veal was not overpowering, and it was perfectly cooked. The veal just simply melted in the mouth. My osso buco came on a saffron risotto, and the osso buco was fantastic, tender, and simply delightful. I enjoyed the marrow very much, but I almost wished that the dish came with polenta, not risotto. However, it was still magnificent. We took dessert to go, because we couldn't finish everything at all. However, this is definitely not going to be the last time we come here. The ambience was fantastic, very intimate, darkly lit, but still noisy, with people having fun here. Our service was top of the line, with great humor. Give this place a try. You won't be upset, neither will you regret it. Our compliments to the chef, staff, and owner. What a home run.

    A strong experience with delicious dishes around the table that did not break the bank. Parking is…read moreentirely off street, but free. The dining room is a beautifully appointed Italian that's fitting of The Hill. White table clothes and candies on each table. Although our server was very nice we unfortunately had a slow down of attention toward the end. Possibly due to we were not drinking, but it was noticeable. Although we got an initial follow up and one round water refill our water was gone through most of our dinner. I regret the review is tardy and I cannot recall the pasta special I got, I enjoyed. Others had lasagna, pizza and spaghetti with meatballs. The portion sizes were more than adequate and came with bread. I would return and recommend reservations on Open Table. 4 plus, rounding down with slight service slow down.
