Came here for the first time, last minute with a big party. Food was amazing, service was excellent (Alexa) even with our large party. The owner came out and talked with us, super sweet. I will definitely be coming back!!!!

I had high expectation of this place, having walked by it a million times and always caught pleasant smells wafting out from it, but my experience can be better classified as mediocre rather than pleasant. The decor and vibe is a bit lacking. You have all of the staples here like exposed brick and open kitchen layout, but it felt underwhelming rather than cozy or hip. The service left a lot to be desired. Despite being seated right next to the kitchen we rarely saw our server and it seemed to be a real inconvenience to them any time they did turn up. The food was good, not great, but good and tasty. I was a bit disappointed to see that the menu on their website is out of date and the dish that I had hoped to order had been dropped from the menu altogether. Overall this restaurant is fine and a serviceable option for a dinner out, but I would highly recommend checking out some of the other great options down town.

The ambiance inside is great! We came here on a Sunday night, maybe two other couples dining and one at the bar. Service was pleasant, and the food was surprisingly good. The shrimp was overcooked, but that's a small offense when you get a half-sized appetizer, half-sized entree, and full-sized dessert for $30 bux! We ate everything on our plates and felt pleasantly satisfied. New Sunday tradition in the making!

Really excellent italian food in Northampton. Excellent quality with smaller portions. Very nice outside seating. Service can be slow.

We took my sister for her birthday dinner. Unfortunately it was a super hot evening and the restaurant was uncomfortably hot. Old buildings and open kitchens don't help. Food was good and service was OK. The bill came and it had an item on it that we did not have. These things happen. When the check was brought back with correction we paid in cash and we were walking out of the building when the server ran over and asked very rudely if we paid the bill. She asked did we pay with our phone or something?? Um we paid in cash! Next time look at the table in the bill holder before accusing people of not paying.

Very welcoming staff. A wide selection of authentic Italian dishes; the price-fixed special (appetizer, entree and dessert) had great choices. Definitely recommend and will patronize again.
