    Beware: Service was sub par when I went (took 15 mins after seating to get a hello from our waiter) but food was delicious.

    Wish the portion was bigger so I could know if I actually enjoyed my meal. Overpriced and over too soon. At least the wine was decent?

    First time here and I'm disappointed. I really wanted to be blown away. The shrimp bucatini is drowned in olive oil and tastes like chlorine.

    Short rib is a hunk of $26 lard and not much else. Choose the $18 spaghetti and meatballs instead.

    We came for brunch and service was terribly bad. It's a shame because we had great experiences before. Really sad.

    Prices seem to have gone up and portion size seems to have gone down. Food is still v.v. good, though.
