The waitress was very cheerful and attentive making for a fun experience. The happy hour at this place can't be beat half off all drinks. The drinks were all delicious. It was apparent they were made by a bartender that cares about his craft. The food was also great we just got some snacks but everything was so good especially the hummus and burrata.

Cute ambiance and would recommend checking this place out though!

This was delicious and perfectly prepared rare with a chat. The risotto gravy was a bit rich for me. I would have loved a steak sauce but enjoyed adding lemon butter. Wonderful all around night before my asylum tour.

Last night, my son's flight was delayed and despite being packed, they were gracious enough to shift our reservations am hour later. And the food!!!! Always spectacular, and I get excited, to try their daily specials. We go nuts over their sweet breads or veal brains. None of these was on the menu last night. Instead, we had foie gras,, tuna carpacio, that was somehow unique, and the best we'd ever had, wagyu bavarette, octopus, and tiramisu. All set in the former TC asylum, with burrows and stone walls-- lots of nooks that make the busy place still feel intimate. Can't wait for the next visit!

You walk in and it's very dark and lounge feeling. We got the Krampus Old Fashioned and a Wake Up Call. Krampus is very strong! I'm a wimp haha my husband ordered that. I got the Wake Up Call. It was very yummy. A good dessert drink to end my night. I liked it! Also very strong. So if you like booze heavy drinks this is your place! It's not super loud down in the bar. It was a cool place to get a drink and hang out for a bit. Krista and Nick were running the bar. They were friendly and kind and attentive service. 5 stars if strong drinks are your vibe because this is place makes great drinks I only gave 4 because it's not really my style of drinks and I didn't love love my drink. I like it, it was good but I wouldn't get two. Service was 5 stars Bar was 5 stars Prices were great

We sat at the bar which was staffed by two very efficient bartenders who did it all. It was nice to be able to see right through to the kitchen from the bar. Really enjoyed the mussel special (not sure if this is always on the menu). The prosciutto fig salad was quite good too but a very small serving size for two people to share as an appetizer. The crostini served with the burrata was very tasty and crispy. The best dish was the fettuccine which has pork ragu and fresh parmesan. This was recommended by our server and it did not disappoint. I only wish there were just a couple more noodles because the amount of meat was very generous. If you're deciding between here and the other Italian place also at the Commons (I don't think I can say it by name) I would actually recommend PepeNero's over that one!!!!

Staff- friendly and as attentive as they could be, but found ourselves waiting quite a bit. All in all, pretty good experience, but room for improvement.
