Really enjoyed our meal here. We stopped in for a late afternoon lunch, which was outside the typical dining time and allowed us to beat the rush. We had heard it gets busy around dinner, so this worked out perfectly. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our meal. Everything we ordered was delicious, from starters to dessert, and full of flavor. The carbonara and the amberjack were definite standouts for me, with unexpected flavors that worked very well together. Portions were great, and the pricing was very reasonable for the quality. I will definitely be coming back.

1. The dishes were delicious and well-presented! I I really like the smoked short rib cavatelli! 2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The interior has high ceilings! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with our order! They were very attentive! Note: There is a bathroom available for customers! Photo: Crispy Calamari, Uni Vongole, and Smoked Short Rib Cavatelli

Lunch; Went when there was only 10 minute wait. The $28 Appetizer, entree, and dessert combo is a great deal, and got two sets of that for 4 people. The other reviews hit the main items on the main items pretty accurately, so our group ordered the Buta and the Foccacio bread, which were severely under rated. Foccacio Bread which was fresh baked, and the side of butter which made it stick out. I normally would not order bread when eating out since it's a filler item, but this was great. Additionally The Buta (pork) bowl was the one with the strongest flavor, but it's so strong it I would eat it last and recommend eating with the bread to shoe the sauce and flavors.

Idk what these other people are talking about because the food was literally Michelin star worthy. Service was suparb too. Considering the prices, we did not expect the pastas to be FRESH made in house. That was a really nice surprise. The clam chowder is also one of the best I’ve had and is also made from scratch. The fresh baked focaccia?? brooooooooooo perfect texture. I cannot believe this place doesn’t have a line out the door every night

Long overdue review. Came here for dinner w a bunch of girlfriends. Spontaneous night out but 1st dinner Saturday 8.24.25. Had reservations, we were about 10-15 mins late so called to let the associates know. Right when we got there, it was a full house. Had to wait 10-15 mins for our table. Came almost close to end of day along soft opening so their menu was out with a lot of stuff. Understandable since they did have a full house meaning it was pretty successful for soft opening weekend. It’s a Japanese Italian fusion restaurant. I’m not too big fan of pasta so i was ok with all the food along w my girlfriend did say it needed more seasoning on majority all of their food. Not sure if it was just that night we went in to dine. But i felt it could’ve had more flavor to each dish. I’m fa
