" Had a disappointing experience on my last visit. Though the ambiance was lovely, the food was mediocre and overpriced. The service was friendly, but it took a while to receive our dishes. I'd like to give it another chance because I heard so many good things. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited last weekend and the vibrant ambiance hooked me right away! The server was attentive, and the food was absolutely delightful! Pizza and gnocchi are things you should absolutely not skip. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not as great as I hoped. I tried the seafood pasta, and while the flavors were there, I found it a tad salty. The service was pleasant, but the wait times were quite long. I think I’ll stick to pizza next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for my birthday dinner and it was a delight! We ordered several appetizers to share including the oysters, which were fresh and shucked perfectly. The main courses were just as impressive - the scallops were seared to perfection, but I wish the service was a bit quicker. Still, it was a memorable evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibrant decor and authentic touches made this dining experience memorable. I loved the spinach and ricotta gnocchi and their tiramisu is to die for. Service was a bit slow, but again, food made up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although the food was pretty good, I struggled to find it worth the wait considering the small portions. It’s definitely one of the more popular spots, but I prefer more value for my money elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited last week and had a wonderful meal. Everything from the appetizers to the dessert were exquisite. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the ambiance was perfect for a date night! I can't wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)
