"Great little gem in the Wallingford neighborhood. Pici Amatriciana was a little bit soupy/watery but overall it tasted great especially the homemade pasta. The environment could be noisy during peak hours."

"We were soo looking forward to trying this place but unfortunately we left pretty underwhelmed. I had pasata carbonara and my friend ordered the risotto. Also shared a burrata appetizer. The burrata was good, the risotto tasted good but was such a tiny portion. My pasta a la carbonara was the worst part. It was the worst carbonara i’ve ever had. It also didnt look or taste anything like it. It looked like a noodle soup with a very watery and thin cream, also very bland tasting. The restaurant is very small, packed, and loud. There’s barely room for servers to pass through the tables. We couldnt hear each other and we’re constantly interrupted by the servers. We felt like the service was overbearing. Given the prices and the bad experience, i will not go back."

"Atmos - old world homey. Nice :) lots of wood which I like. House Focaccia - doesn't come warm sadly. It's a little dense and dry for a focaccia in my experience. But it gets the job done. You do need the oil with it tho because it's so dry. I wish we had butter tho. Burrata w/heirloom tomato - Good! Fresh and sweet. I'd order this again. FYI, Does not come with any carbs. Rigatoni with snap peas and black pepper - very fresh tasting. Noodles were spot on. Pappardelle Bolognese - the sauce is fantastic. Perfectly balanced, perfect ratio. The noodles weren't cooked all the way but the freshness was still appreciated. Torta di Bosco - good but not mind blowing Tartufo Affogato - very tasty, would eat again"

"We got free street parking in front. We had the roasted pork belly and Agnotoli with white vine. It took 30 mins for the food to come out. The pork belly was yum but the Pasta was bland. The service was excellent. Also FYI, bread isnt free."

"Nice local neighborhood Italian restaurant. The portions are single serving, not meant for family style Italian eating. We enjoyed our dishes, some could have used a little more seasoning. My favorite dish was the rigatoni, it was sooooo good. My second pick was the tagliatelle, the past tasted fresh and the yolk made for a deliciously creamy sauce. The dessert were great as well as the cappuccino and espresso. My favorite was the fruit tart, great blend of sweet fresh and flavorful. The restaurant gets noisy, even so, the server didn't miss beat in hearing our order. The decor is very welcoming and cozy. We came on a Sunday night and they were packed. I would recommend reservations."
