“ I had a reservation and was seating immediately. The place was very crowded, cramped, and loud though. I ordered the Vodka Pasta, and it tasted very good (nothing special though.) I also ordered the Caesar Salad and it was the best one I’ve tasted in my life. For dessert I had the Pineapple Sorbetto and it did not disappoint. The food tasted very fresh and authentic. I would go back. ”
