  The food was frankly super disappointing. The photos that people have posted looked amazing, our food when we got it looked amazing, just look at my photos. Me and my boyfriend were very excited to enjoy our meals, the gnocchi and the carbonara, and almost immediately tried them when our waiter put them down, only to immediately be VERY disappointed with the taste. It was the most boring and unflavorful food we have ever had the displeasure of eating.( And no, we aren't sick with covid or anything). i understand that simple recipes and foods can be quite elevated but this wasnt that. Simple foods must be done well and our meals werent. The carbonara was basically spaghetti noodles with olive oil, with a teeny tiny hint of egg and cheese, i had to force myself to eat it so i wouldnt waste my money. the gnocchi had a very boring tomato sauce, and that was more edible, but still not great for the price. The only reason this place gets two stars instead of 1 is their staff. Our waiter was very attentive, restocking on the bread and water often. He was nice and friendly and good at his job. The restaurant was nice, well cleaned,but the music was incredibly loud. If you want pretty photos for social media and don't care about actually yummy food, then this is the place for you! We will not be coming back.

  The food was great. I had a great sangria. Scallops were awesome (and I really don't even like scallops). But the thing that really took it over the top was the service. Andy made the first time experience GREAT. He was attentive without being overwhelming. He warned about how good the bread was, and warned not to get full on it before the food was served. (I definitely would have because the bread was crazy good). Ask to be seated in Andy's section.
