Great spot for an upscale but easy italian meal, including delicious pizzas. Beet salad was exceptional! Sitting at the kitchen bar was fun to watch all the happenings there. Fennel sausage has great spice. Tiramisu was great.

Staff is well informed and helpful. As a vegan, it was easy for me to have an amazing dinner. I ordered a customer vegan pizza and it was great. The eggplant was the best thing I’ve eaten in a while. Highly recommend this dish specifically. The bread and olive oil was simple and excellent. My date had pasta and the server recommended a wine that paired perfectly. We had a reservation which I think I’d recommend.

TLDR; really great spot for authentic Italian food. We came in on a Thursday evening with reservations are were shocked to see how full the place was. The line to talk to the host was so long that it took us nearly 10 minutes to just let them know we were here. Between the two of us, we ordered the eggplant as an appetizer, and the stracciatella and spinach cannelloni as mains to split. The eggplant is quite exceptional - the flavors are really unique and is now one my favorite ways of cooking eggplants. The stracciatella pizza was super nice too - the base was soft, the sauce was delicious. They originally brought us the stracciatella appetizer, and though we didn’t try any, it looks absolutely delicious- perhaps even better than the pizza.
