This place came highly recommended from many, but ultimately fell flat. We got a wine bottle recommendation from the server that wasn’t really what I asked for, but it was fine. Anchovies and bread appetizer was okay. Entrees were the ossobuco and rigatoni, but were under salted, lacked complexity, and just okay. The ambiance was quaint, but I’ve had many Italian meals of higher quality.

Very disappointing… tiny portions, oily food, and very unpleasant service. Got the wrong pasta than what we ordered, we said nothing and they charged us $20 extra for no reason. I recommend to not come back.

Delicious Italian restaurant. Highly recommended ! The dishes were all great although we would have hoped that the portions were a little larger.
