" Had a lackluster meal last night. The mussels were okay, but my pizza was subpar. The crust was chewy, and it didn't have much flavor. Service was decent but a little too casual, not quite what you would expect from a place with such high ratings. Maybe we caught them on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

The highlight was the cheese wheel pasta—we couldn't stop raving about it. This will be a repeat visit for us! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited last weekend and were pleased with the cozy atmosphere. The cheese wheel pasta was a definite winner. However, the main reason we won’t come back is the lukewarm reception and slow service. It’s a shame because the food was amazing, but the experience was less than ideal. " (*Curated Review*)

" The outdoor seating was lovely but we encountered issues with getting our orders right. My husband’s meal was incorrect, and despite our server’s best efforts, it took too long to fix it. The atmosphere was great; however, the inconsistency in service left us frustrated. I would like to give it another shot to see if it's better next time. " (*Curated Review*)
