Had a very tasty meal here with my nieces. We had the artichoke appetizer which was very good. I had the swordfish special which came with green beans and pasta. Perfectly done and had great flavor. My nieces each had pasta and both were happy with their dishes. All food came out steaming hot which I very much appreciate. The chocolate lava cake for dessert was warm and yummy. Nice wine selection! We had a nice bottle of falanghina that we all enjoyed. Would definitely go back. Great atmosphere too.

Very disappointing for many reasons. The only thing good was the ambiance. I will absolutely not be back, I wish I could give 0 stars. 1. The service was awful. It seemed like they only had one server. He was not very nice, my mother asked for what was in the salad and told us it was just tomatoes, but it came out with cheese. When we went to send it back, he snapped back and said for us to read the menu before ordering, when we asked him what was on the salad and never said cheese. The food took over an hour 1/2 to come out. The server was also rough when picking up our plates as if he was annoyed. 2. The food was not good, I got the veal which was extremely tough, and honestly tasted like it was reheated . The veal was like a hockey puck it was so hard. There was barely anything on the plate as well, and the only thing that was tolerable was the carbonara. 3. The prices were absolutely outrageous for what we got served. The food was awful and there was barely anything on the plate. 4. The server never even asked us what drinks we want. When my mother asked for a Diet Coke he was nasty and said there is no soda. Waste of my time and money and will absolutely not be back.

Celebrated one of my good friends birthdays here and we had a pleasant time. The interior is very warm and intimate. The expo kitchen is very small but adds to the intimate feel The menu is small and straight forward. They serve only beer and wine. As an appetizer I had the Octopus. I'm into grilled octopus and this one was more or less steamed with a tomato based sauce. A bit too chewy for my liking and the sauce did not provide enough flavor for me. As a main meal I had the Bolognese with a red wine, which I'll be honest, I forgot the name of it (sorry!) Regardless the wine tasted well and paired well with the Bolognese. The meal had some spice to it and it was flavorful. I would prefer some extra cheer on top next time. The gem of the night was the tiramisu. It was so good, I forgot to take a picture of it lol. An ok spot I do appreciate their intentions of providing authentic Italian cuisine and experience.

An absolute treat! The menu is full of straightforward, traditional Italian dishes bursting with freshness and flavor. Our favorites were the gnocchi and frutti di mar. The excellent service was coupled with an extensive wine list (don't be afraid to ask for a recommendation), and the ambiance was delightful. Can't wait to go back!

No. Though upscale casual would be most appropriate as a minimum in my opinion

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

We’re conforming with the state restrictions, tables are six feet a part, the stuff wears masks at all times and as this week we have 40% capacity
