“ok so exposed brick walls adn hanging plants everywhere creates this weird industrial-greenhouse thing that somehow totally works teh lighting changes all day so it feels completely different at lunch vs dinner would reccomend”

“the chairs look nice but there's zero back support!!! after an hour i was squirming around trying to get comfortable which kinda kills the vibe”

“they have gluten free pasta and the server double checked about cross contamination in the kitchen which made me feel completely safe”

“the gluten free bread w the olive oil was really dry and crumbly tho, didnt have that satisfying texture u want for dipping”

“their house made gnocchi is SO pillowy it takes me back to sunday dinners w family - light delicate and tossed w sage butter that would make my nonno literally cry happy”

“lowkey teh carbonara was way too creamy for real italian carbonara like true roman style should b silkier adn more delicate relying on pasta water adn egg not dairy ugh”

“seriously tehir coffee game is SERIOUSLY good - they use single origin beans proper extraction the barista knew exactly what i meant when i asked for strong but not bitter. they even have oat milk that doesn't separate which is wild in 2024”

“the noise during busy times is actually brutal. all hard surfaces everywhere so conversations just bounce around like a pinball machine and you can't think straight”

“the cortado here is flawless - silky microfoam w beatiful latte art and espresso w bright fruity notes that doesnt get overpowered by the milk ugh”

“thier single origin pour over took like 12 mins to arrive which is kinda excessive even for proper brewing”

“tbh every plate looked like a magazine photo - colorful microgreens artful drizzles interesting plateware instead of plain white. the natural light from the big windows made everything pop”

“food came out at different times so we couldn't get that perfect group shot. my pasta was getting cold waiting for everyone else's stuff which was annoying”

“ngl teh grilled octopus appetizer was perfectly charred w a TENDER inside - gave me best greek taverna vibes would recommend”

“def service felt rushed during dinner rush adn our server barely let us think about the wine pairings dead SERIOUS”
