Beautiful place, mediocre food and terrible service. Pappardelle with too much rosemary, cacio e pepe too oily and spoiled wine.

Minestrone soup is excellent if avail as soup of the day. Try the tuna and white bean crostini.

Not a good place for happy hour. They won't let you sit outside and just have drinks if you don't order food, which is cheaper than the drinks.

One of the best bloody marys in the area, just the right amount of spice.

The food is great but the service is painfully slow. If you have the patience to order desert get the Nutella Calzone.
