Love the atmosphere here! Rustic look and charming atmosphere. Great drinks, and service was excellent. Overall, the food was good - but our pasta dish was undercooked (ravioli were a bit hard as well as the peas in the dish). Our zeppole dessert was also undercooked and were a bit bland. We had a great time and would definitely go back - but may try something else next time.

The waitress took away our food without asking if we were finished. The food took a long time to come out, but they were very quick to take it away after a short time.
