The rigatoni timballo was the highlight of our meal, too bad it arrived last and after a long wait. It was absolutely delicious! Even those who don't like eggplant would like this! The eggplant skin gets all crispy and nice and the red sauce is so beautifully balanced. The stracciatella with burratta and fruits was yummy. Doppio raviolo was good. Didn't like the fettuccine much, it was a bit too sour. Spaghetti had a mild spicy kick and beautifully balanced red sauce. Overall, the food was good. Service was alright. The restaurant is pretty loud and dark.

We’re a party of 8 and ordered 4 appetizers, 5 pasta dishes, and 1 main dish. It was a little too much for our group, but to be fair, half of the party doesn’t eat much in general. I loved almost every single dish we ordered. Each of us had our own favorite pasta, and 4 out of 5 pastas had their own fan(s). That really shows how good their pastas are, an 80% hit rate! You almost can’t go wrong with any choice; it all comes down to personal preference. Our server was excellent and very helpful with recommendations. We couldn’t decide on our fifth pasta, and the one she suggested ended up being my personal favorite. It had butternut squash and pine nuts. Yummmm! Will definitely come back again!

In the photos: • Duck breast with figs and blueberries finished with a fig glaze. The glaze added a nice sweetness, and the duck was cooked like a steak — perfectly medium-well ❤️ • Squid ink lumache. I thought the sauce would actually be squid ink, so I expected it to be black. But even though it wasn’t, it was still amazing — tender lobster, a buttery sauce, and a hint of lemon that balanced everything really well. • Grilled octopus. Cooked perfectly — super soft with crispy edges, not chewy at all. • Wild mushrooms with polenta. Every ingredient on the plate worked so well together. The flavors were simple but really delicious!! Only thing i wished for was a brighter ambiance so i can actually see and appreciate what i was enjoying.

What an immaculate experience. Every dish was fresh, made with care and an eye for detail, and absolutely delicious. From the bread, the bluefin crudo, Japanese sweet potato, mushrooms, and the pastas we tried, everything was stunning. I was honestly shocked we were able to get a reservation within the hour but it was incredible and I will definitely be back. Food, staff, and facilities absolutely did not disappoint.

First time to eat here and we were happy with everything we ordered. Everything was delicious and the server was very helpful in explaining the menu. Although I did feel rushed to eat because the minute my husband and daughter in law were done eating, they took their plate and cleaned the table even though I was still eating.
