Food Quality

• "Very delicious with the perfect amount of meat sauce."
• "The gnocchi pesto was amazing as was the chicken parm!"

• "Food is acceptable, tasty but not awesome."
• "The food was mediocre at best."
• "The bolognese, much like the meatballs, was incredibly salty."

Atmosphere

Pros:

Value

Pros:

Cons:

• "For a house red, one cocktail and calamari $70. Not worth it."
• "THE CHECK COMES WITH 20% OF TIP INCLUDED ALREADY (and we were a party of 2)."
• "Mediocre food at comparably high prices."
• "We didn’t want to get prosciutto on our burrata salad and they charged us full amount as $26 for a burrata on an withered arugula."
• "Paying the 20% tip with no possibility of other choice didn't feel justified either."
