    Delicious food, giant portion. Only thing is I didn't know the bread wasn't free, waitress asked if we wanted bread and I said sure which a little off putting. Also didn't know it would cost extra to get a different sauce, wish I was told that ahead of time.

    Walked in on a whim and had a great dinner of spaghetti with meatballs and a montepulciano. Service was very friendly, atmosphere was vibrant but not loud. Enjoyed the meal and would return.

    Quaint little restorante with authentic Italian food. We got the Quattro Formaggi and Carbonara. The formaggi was excellent, but the carbonara was much too salty. The homemade pasta was perfect.

    The restaurant ambiance is very chic and different. The service was excellent. The octopus appetizer was outstanding. The chicken spinach salad was ok. I should have ordered the pasta. Will be back.
