Best dinner : start with a cheese flight of fontina , pecorino , and Gorgonzola dolce, followed by the bresaola (under "Cured Meats "), and finish with the sunchoke and escarole salad and calamari .

Krystina Darfus

Amazing food amazing service and amazing drinks. Chicken piccata is hands down best dish ever! Also the bruschetta is to die for. The meatballs slice like butter and melt in your mouth. Wonderful time

Megan ????

There really isn't anything that's not good here. Favorites include the white sangria , grapefruit basil fizz martini , chicken parm , and calamari . Atmosphere is great. Happy hour is fantastic!

Gaurav A

Really good authentic food. Pasta Carbonara was authentic with a yolk . Like it should be.

AmateurConcierge

That old school Italian vibe. Zucchini fritti are addictive, Brussels sprouts were quite good...skip the caponata

Jared Bitner

One of the best Happy Hour 's. 1/2 off all wines under the entire "Q" category. 1/2 off all apps, cheeses , pizzas , & small plates .

Jeremy Myers

I see alot of complaints on the food and I have to disagree. This is quality food, quality service, and a quality setting. I've been countless times and am never dissapointed.

Ali

Good is very good, if you are into Italian. The environment can use some help. The waitresses are very helpful and friendly

Sherri Kingrea

Great place for wine & apps but can be a little noisy for conversation!

Tyler Gums

The best f-ing meatball you've ever put in your mouth. Veal Meatball app is the best.

Claire McDonough

Great Italian. Reservations generally needed.

Chris Konecny

Nice place.. I was expecting more from the food based on rating, but I think rating was driven by value factor, which is great for that

Red sangria , lasagna and chicken picatta

Grab a table on the front for a terrific people-watching perch

The bruschetta was phenomenal!! Only thing that would make this place better would be cannoli !

Meghann Cleary

At least once a week Im there or get carryout ! Melted peccorino is the best item in my mind on the menu. Ghocchi bolognaise is always a great pasta choice.

Lis R

Get the Gnocchi , but with Alfredo and prosciutto instead of the tomato and meat sauce. Delish the original way, but this is also quite tasty.

Thomas Nebesar

Chicken parm & the roasted cauliflower
