When this place opened, my husband and I knew we had to try it because the Spedales had catered our wedding, and the food was wonderful (we got lots of compliments from guests on it). We were not disappointed. We tried the spinach salad, which had the same great dressing that we remembered from our wedding (that my husband has been craving ever since)! We also tried the Primizie crisps with the 3 different pestos, and all were very good. For our entrees, my husband had the goat cheese ravioli, and I had the gnocchi. Both were perfectly cooked and delicious. We didn't try the desserts, but probably will next time, as they all looked very tempting. The staff was super friendly & helpful. You have to order at the counter, but the staff informed us that they would soon be switching to full table service. Even so, the staff still brought out all of our dishes in a well-timed manner, so the counter ordering process was not a problem at all. The only (small) issue for us was that the place was pretty noisy, even without every table being filled. We could hear each other, but there was a fairly loud roar in the background. The prices were cheap to moderate for dinner, but might be considered a bit expensive for lunch. Overall, we thought it was excellent. We will be returning soon!

Pros: Food, dinner prices, staff

Cons: a bit noisy
