"we have maurizios absolutely loved! we went to a laune when we couldn't get to herb and sea and we're glad to be. we have definitely found a new favourite place that comes to the north to eat here! everything from the service, the modern atmosphere and especially the food was amazing. we were also pleasantly caught by the watch to see how reasonable the prices were, which was so refreshing for a change with the inflation made it so expensive and to eat everywhere now. also the owners came and visited with us who added to the warm experience. the linguine all bygole was incredible and stood the test of a budding Italian east coast - it was just as good if not better than this dish right off...

I made a reservation with a specific request to not sit by the front door and if so please keep the door closed otherwise please cancel. Guess where we were seated and how that turned out. The spaghetti and meatballs, certainly nothing special, having prime meatballs made them tender, I suppose, but did absolutely nothing for their mediocre taste. The gravy was fair at best and the pasta was cooked al dente, just how I like it however I would have preferred a thinner pasta. Owner needs to update prices on yelp menu, the actual menu is significantly higher, probably would not have eaten there had I known about that. The ambiance was not at all impressive.

Please, don't fall for the reviews. Way below average food with upscale prices a complete mismatch. We ordered fritto misto to start. It came with frozen pieces and the flavor was really poor. The main dish was fettuccine alle vongole. It came with the pasta absolutely dead' (completely overcooked) and the flavor reflected the fact that the clams were not fresh at all. Honestly the worst alle vongole I've had in my life. Maurizio, if you're reading this: I can guaranteed that you wouldn't serve these dishes to any of your Italian family members... not by a long chance! Why do you treat your customers this way? This is complete tourist trap, avoid at all cost. I will not coming back ever agai...
