    Lamb / Agnello  Bruschetta Caprese: Ciabatta, fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil
    Yelen P.

    Food - got the agnello, it was good! I liked the chunks of lamb. Also got Bruschetta Caprese, which was an appropriate portion size for an appetiser. Forgot to take a photo of this until after I ate it. Service - good, no complaints. Appropriately attentive Ambiance - small, laidback feel. Comfortable, not extremely fancy, food is solid

    The puttanesca, front and center

    A very personable place, I sat by the bar because it was going to be a night of reservations. I had a large appetizer of olives, misto salad, and pollo puttanesca. The olives were warm (a nice surprise) and more than I could finish. The misto salad was similarly generous and was a good accompaniment to the puttanesca which was a bit watery for my tastes (it should be like a pinch on your cheeks by nonna herself with flavor) but that did not matter. This was a surprise neighborhood find that was not overwhelmed by balloon fiesta visitors. Lots of people lingered which is a nice indirect endorsement.

    Lovely place where groups of people seem to be a tables. Ah, the holidays and a nice Italian restaurant. We did the same meeting up as a party of seven last night. Clean, inviting, and with a decent abbreviated menu. They picked the right things to go on it. The server was very attentive and kept my water glass full. I liked their rolls offered. Choosing the spaghetti marinara (easy on the sauce) with sausage (a little spicy) was a good meal. This is on the list for when we visit family here again.

    Crostini, goat cheese, mission fig jam and prosciutto

    Food was very good. This may seem petty but I don't like that they charge for refills of iced tea.

    We went on a Wednesday night for dinner and we were seated right and given menus right away. We…read moreordered our drinks (San Pellegrino Limonata and Blood orange) and received them right away. Everything on the menu looked delicious, but we both ended up ordering the Eggplant Parmesan. A friend had heard it was the best in town, and I have to agree! Two large slices of eggplant with crisp breading accompanied by cacio e Pepe pasta and some marinara sauce. The eggplant was well seasoned fried perfectly. The serving was so large that I took half of it home. I also ordered tiramisu which was creamy and delicious. I saw the cannoli and the dulce de leche cheesecake as well- they all looked great. The location has plenty of street parking by it. I walked from the CNM campus and it was only a couple of blocks. Ambiance was cute, looked like exactly what it is in the very best way. I definitely plan on coming back soon...and next time I'll remember to take pictures! Delicious!

We just had dinner here tonight, introducing two family members to the restaurant.... and we had a VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE. FOOD: I've appreciated their eggplant parmigiana in the past, a favorite of mine. Not tonight. It wasn't crispy and was served with very little sauce. It is served with a cacio de pepe linguine that was quite DRY. One family member had the lasagna. Presentation was nice but she found the dish lacking. She said it was OK but that she has had better... She's Italian and grew up with homemade lasagna. My partner and our second dinner guest had the spaghetti with meatballs dish. My partner has been a fan of this plate. He found the pasta a bit dry, short of sauce (again). Our dinner guest commented on how DELICIOUS the meatballs were, with which my partner agreed. For dessert we had the crème brûlée and the canelones. The crème brûlée tasted more like a pudding and a custard, and the flavor was very different from what were used to in the crème brûlée... Deficient. As for the cannelloni, the filling was tasty. The crusty wrap was very thick and dry. All in all quite a disappointing meal experience. AMBIENCE: A small comfortable neighborhood restaurant with charm. SERVICE: A big robust personality had our waitress. A bit on the loud side, a bit much on the robustness which felt a bit over bearing at the tableside. She herself was not unpleasant, but her presentation was a bit of nails on the chalkboard. To say the least, it was a disappointing experience tonight and as much as we have enjoyed this place in the past I'm not sure that we would return again. Especially disappointing because we live less than 2 miles away and it really has felt like our neighborhood place.

Very disappointing experience the other day at lunch. One of the people in our party ordered from the lunch special column. It was supposed to come with a lemon cookie but when we asked about it we were told they didn't have any. The server said she'd bring a scoop of ice cream instead. She later came back and said her manager said she could not give him any ice cream. The server apologized and said it was her fault for offering it in the first place. The manager humiliated the poor waitress and disappointed us over a scoop of ice cream. Very poor judgment.

It's in a historic area but the inside is chic, modern, and lively. Bold paint colors, unique bar and table sets, and they even have chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The only caveat is that it is LOUD. Between the noise of eating, talking, and the music, it is difficult to hear each other. The service was excellent. I wish I could remember his name to give him a shout-out. He was knowledgeable about the menu and had great suggestions for drinks, appetizers and main dishes. He also, was friendly and funny, and took care of us without hovering but was somehow always there when we needed something. The food was excellent, with large portions, great flavors, clean ingredients and fresh new takes on a lot of dishes. I had the Sourdough Gnocchi with onions, brocolini, and added salmon. It was truly amazing! They had a blackberry shrub, which is non-alcoholic, that I was able to add alcohol to and it was delicious! We also had the calamari for an appetizer and it was beautifully done, perfectly cooked, with light breading, and excellent sauces to dip it in. If you haven't been, I would highly recomend you check it out!

About 20 minutes later, someone in our group was able to order pasta, so it seems like they got things worked out before we left.

When our pizza came out it was the wrong pizza. I told the worker and he apologized and told me to wait a few minutes and he would make me the correct one. The correct pizza came out about 15 minutes later and it was great. It wasn't as thick as the pizza I've had at Giordanos in Chicago or Las Vegas but for around here (NM), it was great. Lots of cheese, tomato sauce topping and full of pepperoni and sausage. Me and my son ate the entire large pizza, 4 huge pieces each. I'm still so full writing this and it's been 5 hours since we left. I would definitely come back here and eat again. Price for this large Chicago deep dish was $22 and worth it imo. Service here was great. Friendly worker and very nice. Btw this guy was taking orders, making pizzas, handling the tables all by himself. Two thumbs up from me. Hope to be back someday...
