What People Say

Diners love the wood-fired crusts, creative toppings, and house-made pastas. Many highlight the excellent wine list and cozy yet upscale vibe. Reviews often mention the attentive staff, quick turnaround times, and the convenient location close to concert halls and cultural hotspots.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that the space can feel a bit tight during peak times, and wait times for a table may stretch if you arrive without a reservation. Also, while the menu is impressive, it leans more toward comfort than variety—so if you’re not in the mood for Italian, options are limited.
