Reviews
Started with the Calamari appetizer. These were pretty great. Well seasoned, not over cooked, crispy assorted cuts of squid. I was not a fan of the marinade being on the plate and the calamari placed on top with the aioli drizzled on top. Had like four pieces of calamari absolutely drenched in aioli and the rest had none. Bottom pieces of calamari were half soggy from sitting in the marinara.
The pizza was excellent. I got the Tartufo with shrimp added. The dough is slightly chewy with a crisp slightly charred crusting and had great flavor. I enjoyed the toppings which were pretty evenly spread.
The Fra Diavolo was salty and very watery. It’s supposed to be a thinner sauce but it was liquid with some tomato puree here and there. Noodles were cooked well. Menu also said there was Chorizo in it… definitely had the texture and taste of smoked sausage, kind of like the turkey hill smoked sausage you can get at the grocery store? They put a lot of mussels which I suppose is to make up for the dime sized mussel meat. Scallops were large and well cooked. A few of the shrimp were oddly cold compared to the rest of the food.
The service: moderate. Server checked on us once aside from when she took our orders and brought our food. She didn’t ask if we wanted refills and all three of us had empty drink cups. The food took about a half an hour and there were only two tables there besides us.
3.5 stars rounded up to 4.
I hosted a surprise 60th-birthday brunch for my mom, and the experience was OUTSTANDING. Javier, the general manager, was INCREDIBLY accommodating from the start—clear on every detail and willing to meet with me beforehand to make sure everything was perfect. On the day of the event, the staff was so kind and helpful, and our server Erin handled our group of 15 with ease. They even went above and beyond to accommodate a guest with multiple food restrictions, and the kitchen delivered amazing options for her. Everyone LOVED the food, drinks, and atmosphere. Thank you to the entire team for making the day so special!!! Highly recommend!!!!
Lighting is dim but cozy. Bar top seating or tables. Very loud.
Food was fast to come out.
Wish the calamari had hot peppers as we’d come to expect. Would suggest sauce on the side, otherwise it gets soggy.
Otherwise very flavorful and paired well with the meatball pizza with pink sauce.
