    Tiramisu and Rainbow Cookies
    Kaytlin K.

    Such a great dinner spot. We ordered a few things family style, and everything was hot and delicious! Our server was attentive and answered all our questions. Drinks came out quick and were perfectly made. Highlight for me was dessert and a delicious pasta dish. The meatballs were also incredible! We were sat near the kitchen which was fun to see how they made all the pizzas. Would absolutely return.

    Seasonal Gelato - Chocolate Amaretto
    Gina C.

    This spot is IT. I fell off with sharing reviews for a good minute. Vic's is the gem to throw me back on here. After this dinner... I immediately was like, "no omg I need to give them ALL the praise." Each dish was incredible, nothing ever fell short. I don't even know what to recommend because I'm sure if I ordered something entirely different, I would be saying the same exact thing. (If the seasonal gelato is still chocolate amaretto when you go, absolutely get that. The amaretto cookie/toffee crunch within each scoop was actual perfection. I'm glad we opted for 2 scoops instead of 1. Seriously... Best gelato I've had in my life, and I've been to Italy ) Our waitress was so helpful when I couldn't decide between certain dishes, and she was SO sweet!!!! I think her name was Paola L. It's so refreshing to have a server so upbeat, happy and helpful. She just matched my energy lol, and she was so great and attentive. :) :') The general ambiance also was very lively and upbeat - definitely on the louder side but that's exactly my vibe. And the songs playing in the background were all total bangers. Next to all of this, the cost of what we got felt like a STEAL after receiving the check. I haven't come across a place with INCREDIBLE food paired with AFFORDABLE prices since maybe 2016. We got 2 drinks, 2 apps, 2 entrees and 2 scoops of gelato. It rounded out to a range of $130 ish altogether. Just amazing. Vic's is top on my list. 10/10. Especially if you're in the 25-35 age range... You will fit right in on a Saturday night! (We went on a Sat at 8:30p)

    Prosecco we got on the house for waiting over 30 min past our reservation time

    My friends and I had a reservation at 8:45pm on a Friday night. We were told by the hosts that another party paid, but they weren't leaving - they weren't the friendliest hosts. 20 minutes go by and we were told again that the party wasn't leaving, but a manager or the owner gave us complimentary Prosecco to thank us for waiting. I don't drink so this didn't help me as much, but it was a nice gesture. Another 10 minutes go by and we were contemplating leaving as it was already 30 minutes past our reservation time and all of us were hangry at this point. We finally got seated at 9:23pm and were ready to order. It's pretty dark in the restaurant and gave date night vibes - playlist was great too! For starters, we got the crispy broccoli, brussels sprouts salad, and crispy potatoes and they were all really good! For the mains we got the cacio e pepe spaghetti, lumache, and sausage pizza. I love thin crust so the pizza was good for me with a thin crispy crust, which I enjoyed. The pastas were just okay to me, I did prefer the lumache over the cacio since it had more flavor. The highlights were definitely the starters! Would come back for those. I do hope that in the future they kindly ask guests to leave the table if another party with a reservation is waiting, especially if it's over 30 minutes as we did get really annoyed before even ordering.

    We enjoyed an early dinner out. The waiter was very attentive. The atmosphere was cozy. We sat around a booth with a table of 8. Enjoyed nice wine and cocktails. The hanger steaks were a table favorite. The cod was very good. The chick peas were a little too hard. The coffees and dessert were all very good. A nice spot on the east side.

    Fried calamari (tender). Partially digged in already
    Vicell M.

    Came here on a work dinner and the places is nice. I had the Calabria cocktail and it have a small nice spicy kick. We had the food family style. My favorites were the fried calamari, crispy potatoes and hanger steak. The cacio de pepe wasn't bad. Just a tad too al dente but that's my opinion of course. Foe dessert, I didn't get to try the tiramisu (probably should have) and instead tried the rainbow cookies. It is one of the most dense rainbow cookies I had. I would skip that. Overall, really nice place for dinner.

    Cacio E Pepe
    Cara T.

    My friend and I snagged a last minute reservation here last Friday. I'm so glad that we did! We had to wait a bit to be seated, but they were great about transferring our bar tab to our table once we were seated. I loved the Milano cocktail! Not too sweet and full of flavor To start, we shared the crudo, per our server's recommendation. It was delicious! So tender, light, and flavorful. I went with the cacio e pepe for my entree and it was classic and delicious! The pasta was perfectly al dente and the sauce had that intense peppery flavor you need in a good cacio e pepe. For the area and quality of the food, I found it to be very well priced. I would definitely come back here! I want to try the pizzas next time!

    My friend heard of this spot, so we decided to stop by for a light dinner when we were in the area. We got the garlic bread, the broccoli rabe, and the cresta de gallo to share. The garlic bread did not turn out as expected - it basically was this kind of pizza crust with roasted garlic spread on top. It was still pretty good, but most definitely not what we were hoping for. The other two dishes were solid. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce was light but delicious. And the broccoli rabe was tender, and there were bits of black olive spread around the dish, which added a nice salty kick. The vibes were also really nice with a good amount of seating, making it a good spot to catch up with friends.

    Roasted Chicken, Orecchiette, Sausage Pizza, Lumache
    Liz B.

    Came here around 8:15 PM with a reso and was seated almost immediately! The cocktails are mostly premixed so you can't change out liquor types but they tasted good enough. My friends and I split the arancini (10/10) it was really tasty with a nice crisp. Then my friend and I split the orecchiette pasta (8/10 could've used a little more flavor and the pasta was cooked a little less than al dente) and the roasted chicken (9/10 the potatoes were heavenly and the chicken skin was crispy but I got one really spicy piece of broccoli which definitely hurt). Overall great service and this would definitely be a really cute date spot!

    We came to brunch over the weekend. Service: service was great. Fast and friendly. The rest of the party was about 30 minutes late but they were very understanding and didn't mind that I sat at the table and waited. Ambiance: the restaurant is so pretty. Natural boho chic. They also had a lot of natural light which made brunch feel like an outdoor event but we could still be warm. Food: we got the arancini and focaccia bread as starters. The bread was delicious and perfectly soft. I also loved that there were 2 halves that had different flavors. The arancini didn't really stand out but it was fine. I got the vodka pizza as my main course. It was very saucy but delicious. The vodka sauce was flavorful and well seasoned.

    Food, service, and ambience were on point at this affordable Italian restaurant. My party started with the arancini and meatballs, which were both incredibly flavorful. The arancini were oblong instead of globes, and there were only two, so keep that in mind if you're a party of three or more. They're completely worth ordering though--incredibly juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The meatballs melted in the mouth, and the tomato sauce was bright with perfect acidity. For my entree, I ordered the campanelle with pork bolognese. It was a great portion, but the sauce was a little lacking for me, considering bolognese should be heartier than your average spaghetti sauce. My dining companions had the mushroom pizza and ravioli, and both said they were really good. I definitely wanted to steal one of my boyfriend's ravioli. They looked so plump and delicious! For dessert, the tiramisu was some of the best I've ever had, while the brioche with cream was underwhelming. Cocktails were solid. I had a Prosecco spritz, which I'd definitely order again.

    Cacio E Pepe
    Ellen L.

    I loved this restaurant. The setting is perfect for a nice dinner with friends/family, the food and drinks were delicious, and the staff was so friendly. We were seated in the back of the restaurant where we could see them making pizzas and cooking them in a brick oven which was cool to see. I got the cacio e pepe which was one of the best cacio e pepe's I've had. The cheese was so creamy and had the perfect sauce to pasta ratio. There was a bit too much oil at the bottom of the dish, but overall, everything else about this dish was perfect and delicious. We also got a side of Brussels sprouts which were decent, but nothing special. I probably would choose to try a different appetizer next time I come here.

    Cannelloni and Cacio E Pepe
    Chandni D.

    Came here with a party of 3 on a Saturday night and were seated immediately. Right off the bat, we loved the ambiance! Here's what we got: Arancini - super flavorful and yummy, would recommend! Crispy Sweet Onions - this was just ok, found them to be really greasy but my friend who loves onions loved them! Broccolini - this was my favorite dish! Super lemony but also spicy and had the perfect bite! Sometimes broccolini gets over cooked but this was just perfect! Cacio E Pepe - super well made! perfect balance of creamy cheese and pepper. Would 100% come back just for this! Cannelloni - for the main we shared the cannelloni which was forgettable. It was not super flavorful and was kind of watery and mushy - would not get again Overall, we enjoyed most of our dinner and would love to come back and try more pastas!

I remember liking their drinks, but I never stopped back in, as I don't go out to drink too often. More recently, I was here a few months ago with a large group for their Sunday Roast. The staff were friendly and gave us good service, even though the place was crowded, and there was some loud but pleasant live music playing in the background. Of course, a bunch of us got cocktails. I went with their signature Irish Coffee, as I thought the Alexander one, based on a Brandy Alexander, would be a little bit too sweet. Said drink was $17 and had Teeling Small Batch Irish whiskey, Andytown coffee, Demerara, freshly whipped cream, and nutmeg. As can be seen in the hundreds, or rather thousands, of other reviews, their Irish coffee is excellent. It's not too sweet or too bitter, with enough whiskey for just a tiny kick of alcohol, along with a hit of spice. Another person loved the $20 Frozen version with the same whiskey, along with Mr. Black coffee liqueur, cold brew coffee, cane sugar, and cream, and I believe someone else got the fancier Alexander version for $21. Outside of their coffees, there was a mix of other cocktails, including the Doctor's Orders for $21, with Wild Turkey 101 bourbon, Laird's apple brandy, cinnamon, allspice, grapefruit, and lime. I remember trying it as I gave the other person a sip of my drink and enjoying it. The majority of us went with the same $44 Sunday Roast as our main dish. This consisted of a roasted sirloin of beef, bread stuffing, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese gratin, roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, beef gravy, and horseradish cream. The beef was cooked to my requested temperature, and only a small portion of fat wasn't rendered down properly. However, this wasn't the case for others, with one person's steak in particular having a lot of fat. I partially blame this on the sheer number of orders, but that was unfortunate. The roasted vegetables consisted of carrots and broccoli, and they had a nice char, along with the potatoes. The stuffing was standard, and I liked the unique gratin in particular, as it added an extra texture and saltiness to the dish. The gravy it came with was nice, with some richness and a good beefy flavor, which paired nicely with the Yorkshire pudding and the vegetables. Lastly, I used a small bit of the horseradish, which helped cut the richness. Overall, it was good, but if I had one of the other people's plates, I might have liked it a bit less. This is a tasty place with particularly good cocktails. They have thousands of good reviews for a very good reason. Good luck in DC and Austin as well.
