Very cozy well appointed restaurant. The staff is good with timing on guests centered around the sole chef and his workload. The food is very flavorful, but the pasta is very salt forward so be prepared for that. You can bring your own wine, etc., which is a nice twist. Hard to get reservations, but overall a good dining experience.

I recently dined here and had a pleasant experience. The food was well prepared and the service was attentive. However, the ambiance felt cold and echo-heavy, giving it a cafeteria vibe rather than a cozy atmosphere. While the meal quality was good, the difficult reservation process makes me hesitant to return despite appreciating the food.

Reservation is via email only.
When you arrive for your reservation, you must stand outside the front door as the staff is focusing on the customers already seated OR as they are trying to get your table ready. We waited about 20 mins before we were called to enter and be seated.
The bone marrow is DELICIOUS! We would come back for a few more of those even as a meal.

2nd time coming here. And really enjoyed it. Make sure you make a reservation at least 1 month out as it is hard to get in.
Food and atmosphere is great. Free parking when we went.
Had the house salad and squid ink lobster risotto. Delicious!

Update: It’s been a few months since I’ve been back here and amazing is the only word I have. I have been here numerous times and this place never disappoints. Food is fabulous overall. I tried one of their king crab pasta dishes and I didn’t love it, the first time I went there. But the consecutive times after, that seafood salad was . Highly recommend. The service is slower but they make everything fresh as it is just a 2-3 person team. So expect to wait awhile for your meal. Creme brulee cheesecake for dessert was fantastic. Parking is also validated. My third time there, I tried the beef cheeks pasta.

Unassuming, nondescript venue, tucked away on the ground floor of an office building. It’s barely visible from the street, and only from some angles. Drove by several times and couldn’t find it, so I decided to park in the street and hunted around for it. Was starting to doubt Maps, but sure enough found it. You wouldn’t guess from the location and ambience, but this is some of the best Italian food I’ve ever tasted! The salad, bruschetta, pastas and risotto were so delicious. Flavors were spot on. You will not be disappointed. The dishes were made from scratch, so expect serving to take a little extra time. Kudos to the server. She’s a one woman force of nature that greeted and seated customers, took orders, served dishes, bar tended, bussed tables, and through it all kept a professional and friendly demeanor. Wow! Look forward to our next dining experience.

They are reopened! Make sure you make reservation. Food was delicious and fresh you could tell everything made from scratch when you placed your order and that they used high quality ingredients. It’s BYOB if you want to pair your Italian dinner with some wine. Plenty of street parking on Cooke Street after 6pm.

I went there with a group of people, and we all thought the same thing of this nice restaurant. The best thing about this place is the food, every bite of every dish was amazing. Our favorite foods were the black, squid ink pasta with seafood, and the Burrata cheese appetizer. The food is absolutely amazing and taste fresh. There is lots of thought into the recipes of all these dishes.
There was a few problems though about this restaurant. It is understaffed by one or two people. the one waitress that we had was handling all the tables, and I think preparing dishes in the back as she was in the kitchen a lot. she was a very hard worker, and did what she could by herself. She was awesome. But because of missing some help, she wasn’t there when we needed her for certain things.
Because the restaurant was understaffed, we also had the problem of long wait times on the food. We would get one dish, and wait another 20 minutes to get the next dish. It took about a total of an hour and 40minutes to get our full meal.
The next problem I had was the sound in that room. When people talks it bounces all over the walls. On our night, we had 50 people talking at the same time, we couldn’t hear ourselves at all. The sound carries really well, and you can hear other peoples conversations. So I didn’t feel like I had much privacy and my head was going to explode from the sound. They could probably use some partitions in between the tables.
Lastly, There’s no street parking, because all the metered parking was taken. And we didn’t know we can park inside the back parking lot behind the building.
Besides these other problems, I would highly recommend this restaurant. The taste and quality of their food cancels out all these other issues. Probably the best Italian food on the island.

Shared two appetizers, two mains, two desserts and an aperitif. The brussel sprouts and Pappardelle Norcina was divine. We ordered a lot of food, so our price pet person was higher than you need to go. It made for a wonderful date. Definitely recommend reservations far in advance. There is bar seating but it is first come first serve. Staff was attentive without being intrusive. We also have our order in advance to make sure they’d have what we wanted. As of September ’25 they were working on an automated system for reservations but was not implemented quite yet.

There are so many things to love about this place. It’s cozy and very stylish. I absolutely loved all the food there. You don’t really even need to read the menu, just point as something on it and I guarantee it’ll be delicious. I loved the bone marrow the most. The fat just melts off your tongue.
