Even though the dishes don't look super upscale they definitely taste like it. The flavors were there and really delicious. It's got a homey vibe inside. I think it could be fun for a private/low-key date night instead of going to a super crowded loud/overhyped place. Service was friendly. Just go.

My partner and I've been coming here over the past year and a half or so with friends. We have…read morealways enjoyed the food and the ambience. 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.

The menu has many choices, and today on Saturday there was a list of specials to choose from also. The decor is casual and the feeling is relaxed. There is very nice ambient light. I opted for the seafood pasta that included shrimp, scallops, peas, and sun-dried tomatoes with an olive oil based sauce with garlic. A delightful balance of flavors and textures. Very nice sized scallops and shrimp. The focaccia appetizer is exquisite. A nice crust and a very soft interior crumb. It came with a very tasty tomato and basil sauce. I concluded my dining experience with a very tasty pistachio gelato. Prices are excellent. This is very fine Italian food. I will go out of my way to eat here again.

My boyfriend and I went out to dinner with my work mom and her husband. It was wonderful! I like…read morethe ambiance in this location better than the others. 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!

The good: The…read moreregional Roman dish Linguine alla Gricia was the most authentically Italian preparation I've had anywhere outside of Italy. Bravo! Someone did their homework. The physical space is lovely. A great place to call home during a great meal. Why just 3 stars? The service. First, let me say it is my fault for sitting in the most trafficked area of the bar. I think we had four waitstaff attending to our every need ... except the need to relax and enjoy the meal. Our primary waitperson, a volume bartender, obsessively checked in with us every 10 minutes and was not quick on the uptake, because it was clearly bothering me. Management: If you are going to say things like this on your website: "designed to capture the authentic spirit and culture of la dolce vita (the sweet life). Founded with the goal of bringing a true "feel of Italy" to the Southwest" , please do your homework here as in the wonderfully curated and prepared menu.

Flavoring of the sauce was nice and light but the chicken breasts were drier than dry! When I cut it with my knife the pieces kept shredding. The broccolini was overpowered by the sun-dried tomatoes. For me personally, it was too acidic. The mashed potatoes had the consistency of glue! We haven't been in a while and had brought some friends who had never been. They liked their vegetarian pasta with the artichoke hearts and lemon sauce. I told them I was originally going to order that and they said to order it next time! My other half had the sausage raviolini which he said the pasta was too al dente. I hope that maybe it was just an off night for the kitchen. The restaurant was very busy but everyone employed there was very friendly and personable. I will return, but it might not be for awhile.
