  • The restaurant was long on form and short on substance. The dishes were tasty but very small portions and over priced. I had the lumache but the pasta served was not lumache. It was some other shape, more of an elbow variety. The restaurant was very spare in its decor and loud. The server was chatty but not very attentive. It was difficult to get water refilled.

  • The food was excellent in both taste and texture. The spicy calamari pasta was especially fantastic. I really appreciated the chef's creativity in combining the crispy texture of panko with the tender calamari-it was a great contrast. The kale salad and tiramisu were also interesting, both in flavor and texture. Overall, the restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere, and I really enjoyed the music selection. The servers were very friendly and attentive as well. It was a wonderful dining experience, and I would definitely come back.
