The place is okay. Appetizers came out suspiciously fast but were generally good, with big portions. Service felt like they tried but maybe they were really busy when we went. Asked for drink refills twice, never came. Check took 20mins (not exaggerating). Overall, i would go back if I just want to be around the area, but will not seek it out in the future.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. It was our first time last night (we got the eggplant Parmesan and cacio e pepe) and everything was incredibly light and flavorful. You could really tell they made everything fresh. We’re excited to come back here and tell all our friends about it!

Sebastian is a shining star…..Server and Bar Tender! He, the receptionist, backup staff, and chef supported a slew of diners and graduation groups for an extended period of time until additional support arrived!!! Sebastian was organized, calm, highly professional, pleasant, humorous, and continued smiling through it all!!! I hope management finds a meaningful way to reward him and his supporting colleagues!! Well Done….it’s all about respect and partnering!

Menu has a good selection, food was good and the service is some of the friendliest we’ve encountered. We sat inside which was very loud, so the patio might be a better bet for a quieter setting. Would have liked some chicken options on the menu.

My husband and I ate at the Amalfi restaurant priort to attending a play. We were impressed with the staff and the food. Being of Italian background and traveling to many places in Italy and Sicily, we expect Italian food here to be good. It was. We ordered bruschetta for an appetizer and it was excellent. My husband ordered the ragu with rigatoni and he liked the texture of the handmade pasta and the flavor of the sauce. I had an appetizer for dinner which was the meat and cheese plate. There was so much thin sliced prociuto and mortadella along with three cheeses I had to take a fair amount home. My husband ordered the pistacio cake and it was excellent as well, It reminded us of our recent trip to Sicily. The waiter was great. He was very friendly and attentive as needed without hovering. The interior is small as you would find in trattorias in Italy. There is a good size outdoor seating which have heat lamps, but will be fantastic this summer. All in all we very much enjoyed our experience and would come again to try other menu items.
