"It is an appetizer... I had it as my main... The homemade ricotta is OUT OF THIS WORLD if you know what real ricotta tastes like....
The service was spot on and respectful of deep business conversation..."

"We went on a bad night because they had thrown a sponsored party there that had ended right before our reservation so the place was cleared out and a mess. We were disappointed that they didn't tell us the place would be empty and filled with only left over party attendees when we made our reservation ( we made it only an hour before). Food was very average- tasted like canned sauce and the drinks were fine- nothing special."

"We received a warm greeting at the door and were shown downstairs to a nice corner table with candlelight and yes, a tulip on the table. Very nice for an intimate birthday dinner. The service is very good, with frequent re-filling of water and delicious bread. Appetizers outstanding-roasted octopus was awesome and crostini with wild mushrooms yum. Entrees great too-seafood excellent and vegetables (tricolored cauliflower, broccoli rabe and fingerling potatoes all wonderful.) A vegetarian or meat eater could eat here and be equally blissful....I want to go back!"

"Extremely satisfied with this restaurant. The food was simple and yet sofisticated, try the crostini, great for sharing! The place wasn't overcrowded thanks to the tables well spaced out, giving you a true privacy feeling. Service was excellent, professional and friendly. On top of all this very affordable! Definitetly to try again."

"The staff was friendly, but the food was hit or miss. There were four of us dining during restaurant week and at least 2 of our entrees and desserts were bland. However the appetizers were great. If I go back, I think I would just get a few appetizers and skip the rest."

"After being greeted warmly at the door, we were pleasantly surprised at the feel of the place downstairs. On a cold night, it was warm and cozy. I was early and started a drink at the bar. Bartender was quite pleasant. Gave me a water along side my whiskey without being asked:).
Service was great. We were delighted with the amuse buche. Apps were fantastic. 2 of 4 entrees great, 2 not so great. Waiter was sympathetic and chef sent us aperitifs to make up for it.
We will go back, to try the pizzas next time."

"Went for lunch during restaurant week. Their special menu was limited in choices however the food was wonderful,and the servings were plentiful. Delicious baby beet salad with goat cheese , pappadelle pasta was fresh, others had black squid pasta, also well prepared and flavorful, dessert was a chocolate mousse cake that was excellent. Hostess and waiters were attentive and polite. Next time I would like to try the pizza prepared in a brick oven. Bar and lounge area was very nice, in case you have to wait, I will definitely return. Others in my party will return as well."

"Went first for Restaurant Week to this "unstuffy" gem and the food was so good, we followed up this week to try out the regular menu. Highly recommend the scallop/crispy polenta/chorizo appetizer in kumquat vinaigrette and the duck with mascarpone polenta. Creative cocktail menu begs trying everything, but the Cucumber Detox was so refreshing I confess I had it on both occasions. Both servers we had were warm, friendly, efficient, attentive, helpful with menu choices. The layout meanders from the central entry with three little L-shaped offshoots providing nooks for cozier gatherings or small groups. Most tables are nicely spaced. Brick walls with accent sections in mixed metals and wood add to the comfy feel."
