The service and food were great, but the wait is always long here. They only accept walk in on weekend which makes it longer to get in. The food is fresh and tasteful.
TLDR: Beware of raw eggs here!
2 Piazzas were burnt and had to be remade before we even saw them. We did not receive them until the end of our meal without any discount offered. When we protested they refunded 1 of our 2 pizzas.
When approaching the manager they were unaware this was even a problem. “First (I have) not heard of this.” Even though our sever claimed she needed a manager to get even the one pizza refunded.
Just odd business, which is a bummer since the food is good. I am unlikely to return.
edit: returning home after not being able to eat with my family, I found my remade Quattro pizza to have RAW egg! Disgusting

We arrived on a Saturday night without reservations and were informed of a 45-minute wait, but pleasantly surprised to be seated in just 20 minutes. The ambiance is vibrant and lively with loud music and a bustling bar area with a classy atmosphere. The food was delicious and we were delighted to have been recommended this place. Our overall experience was definitely worth the wait! Get the house bread!
I have heard good things about this restaurant and wanted to give it a try. We went on a Thursday evening and it was packed. The hostess was very nice and attentive at trying to get us a table as we didn't have a reservation. She told us it would be a 30 minute wait but we're seated within 15 minutes which was awesome. The food and drinks were honestly disappointing though. For food we started with seared tuna and the house bread. The entrees we ordered were the Sausage Risotto and Squid, Shrimp and Scallops. They food was lacking flavor and could have been seasoned better. I expected more from such a hyped up restaurant.
Despite the bar area surprisingly not being particularly busy on Saturday night, waiting over 20 minutes for a drink was quite frustrating. The most disheartening part was the apparent rudeness of one bartender, who seemed to intentionally overlook our presence. This not only impacted the overall experience but also left me questioning the level of customer service at the establishment. To the point she kept looking and I told her are we invisible to you or something she gave us a smirk and turned around. Someone need to fix some issues because apparently everyone seem to be complaining about it
Tried this place for the first time because we’ve only heard good things. The food is delicious. It’s dishes without like weird, artistic ingredients. It’s pretty straightforward flavor profiles, but well executed. Pictured are the carrot and broccoli sides, halibut with the EVOO & lemon garlic crust, and the spaghettini. The espresso martini is really good. I would definitely return for the food.
I saw some reviews about the service. We were seated on the patio per our request and our waitress was attentive, friendly, and helpful. It does get pretty busy so I’d recommend booking a reservation.

I’ve been here numerous time and included photos from multiple visits including todays. Always great food as well as atmosphere, the food however is served cold from time to time and the service is decent. Most recently, I was assisted by Cecily at the bar, very sweet and creative. I asked her to make me something sweet and refreshing and she DELIVERED, amazing drink. She was by far the best service I’ve had here so far. My favorite dish is the marinated chicken. Always worth a trip especially on a Friday/Saturday night!
Came here for a weekend dinner with friends and we all had a good time. They were really busy and the place was crowded and tight, and as a result of that we didn’t get the best service and often had to call the waiter to get their attention a few times. However, service toward the end started to get better. For food we got the house bread as an appetizer and that was excellent, and definitely a great taste. For the main meals, we got a few pizzas, chicken sandwiches and the pizza roll. The pizzas were great and were super high quality, not greasy at all and it didn’t make me feel bad after. The chicken sandwich had a lot going on, so I didn’t really enjoy it, I would say it was mediocre at best. Overall, the place is pretty good, I’d definitely recommend any of their pizzas if you plan on coming in.
