Great space, relaxed & cosy, lovely staff and delicious freshly made food! The pasta portions could do with being bigger per serve vs the price. I'd be happy to eat there again tho ☺️

Benjamin Chait

Start with focaccia and some polpette . Add some wine . And enjoy a half pasta per person, being sure to share (I had the pappardelle with rabbit , which was great). Perfect, simple meal.

Annie Chiu

Flavors are one-note and service is inattentive and cold. Skip the appetizers and opt for the veg sides. Leeks are too salty and buttery but still tasty. Hardly the experience it was made out to be.

Brian L

Grab a few half orders of the many lovely pastas and some wine and you’re in for a treat. the lamb radiatori was a highlight.

Stacy Bo Bacy

I’m not a big fan of pasta in general but the olive focaccia , cauliflower polpette , and octopus salad were likely the best I’ve ever had.

Tyler Darnell

Fantastic. Lovely atmosphere. Courteous waitress . I highly recommend the coffee with your dessert .

Marianna Fierro

Love the small bites concept and all the veggies were incredible

Adam Brotman

The cappelletti in brodo is amazing!

RTWgirl Arnette

I had the lunch special and loved the tagliatelle

Sophie

Really good pasta and antipasti . A half order of pasta is pretty much all but the hungriest need - full plates are better for sharing.

Best time to go is between 2 and 5. Lunch and dinner there's a helluva wait.

Jonah Crane

Great pesto , beef and pork raghu, and excellent desserts all around. Also good very reasonably priced wines .

Stephen Koch

Put your name in and then go over to June for a few cocktails . It's worth the wait.

Peter Yang

Def start with some antipasti (arancino or polpette ), octopus salad , and half order of a pasta .

catherine Dalton

The rabbit pasta is incredible!

Alane Unger

The food was good, but the portions are quite small for the price. The panacotta was the best I've had. Would go back just for that.

andrea gentl

great service. good meal. cute space.

Robin Singhvi

Spaghetti w/garlic and hot peppers was good but fettuccini w/onion & pecorino was better. Salads and dessert was meh.

Carollyn Farrar

Shereen Rayle

The fig and goat cheese is REALLY good.
