   Sotto Voce (their intimate, downstairs dining area) is an amazing environment, and all the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Must visit!

   From the minute we arrived for our anniversary dinner everything was excellent! From food, to our table, to service and ambiance, it was an amazing experience.

   Terrible experience. Food was so incredibly salty; it was inedible. Party of 4 sent back 3 dishes and 2 of them still came back the same, if not saltier. My brother and I left without eating and still very much hungry. All we were offered was a free dessert. Why would I want dessert when I haven’t had dinner yet?! Complete and utter fail.

    Elk bolognese will never disappoint! We were a little bummed that we ordered pizza as an appetizer, but our pastas came out first. Service was slower than our previous visits. They did comp dessert for the inconvenience which was very much appreciated.

    Great restaurant. Would have given it a 5, but the sommelier didn’t seem very interested in actually serving people. Lots of attitude from him while he was at our table. Kind of seemed put off by our questions and wine selection.

    Pleasant , just few suggestions: The focaccia is too salty and the parmigiano mousse pointless and tasteless , then the same focaccia shouldn’t be served along with strong tasty cheeses as Gorgonzola , you should have your bread oven made and less tasty as a side for charcuterie and cheeses . Then the charcuterie was pretty dry ( salame ) but the prosciutto was good and fresh . The pesto and the pasta were both good and well cocked but then why did you cover the pasta with fresh recula ? Wasn’t a salad ? And on top of it a lot of crumbled nuts … please avoid that … just a line of olive oil and some parmigiano shredded above and would have been delicious . The burrata was good but the tomato along with it , wasn’t the right type and wasn’t mature enough … beside that there was not enough olive oil and pepper … And about service , if you ask for the waiter one of twice during the dinner , is ok … but when you have to look and wait for him every time you need something … maybe is not right . I hope you don’t take me wrong , over all it was a nice dinner , could have been much better for few details … especially the missing bread and the salty focaccia

    The service was horrible. I’m not sure it was possible to feel anymore ignored. Bread was crazy salty, sea bass was over cooked and hard, pasta was not cooked, and chicken was not spicy. We came 4 months ago and enjoyed but that went downhill fast. Sad I decided to bring clients here. I’ll spend by money elsewhere

    Worst service I have ever received. Had a reservation for 7:15 and was sat promptly. Ordered beverages from server, they were delivered by another server, original server returned to our table to take our order approximately 10 minutes later. Food was delivered by a third server. We were not approached by or spoken to by another server for almost an hour. No beverages were refilled. No one asked how the food was. When our server finally came back to the table, he asked, "the food was great, right?". It was not. The pizza was marginal at best. Both pasta dishes were undercooked. The lack of service was appalling for the cost of the meal. Would never return.

    An exceptional and unique dining experience. They accommodated our request for a private table in the tunnel. I would rate their pizza as one of the best I’ve ever had…the balance, contrast and combination of the salt next to smoked mozzarella is amazing and the dough is absolutely perfect. Not to chewy, slightly charred.

    Such a cute and fun vibe! Food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful. I was in love with all the candles. We were seated downstairs and the tables for 2 were pretty close together but I would still recommend it for a chic date night! Downstairs is a little darker than upstairs, maybe better for a younger crowd or date whereas I’d take the family upstairs! Highly recommend for a fun Italian hideaway in the middle of downtown.

    It was a quaint evening and environment and would recommend to anyone. The vibe is “dressy, yet casual”. The wine list is great and the food was great, too.

    No pizza dough, no bread. Didn’t get told about this until we tried to order. If I’m ordering cheese board for 5 people I should get more than 2 small pieces of bread. Bad bad service but good pasta

    Went for my birthday and our waiter brought a dessert and lemon cello out for us, my parents did not order alcoholic drinks during dinner and our sever brought them a nice non alcoholic drink with the dessert (great attention to detail) we sat downstairs which was so beautiful and unique! Food was outstanding!
