Quick service and many vegetarian options here. The spaghetti squash, kale salad and pizzas are all very delicious. Among the restaurants within walking distance of engineering @penn, this one is the definite favorite for a vegetarian.

Food was good, not the best Italian food I've ever had but I think people pay more for the ambiance here than anything else. Wait staff is however incredibly rude. The hostesses are about as friendly as ice and the waiter only slightly better. If you are dying to go I'd go during the happy hour and no other time.

Great happy hour appetizers here, along with a nicely curated selection of wines, beers, and cocktails. Staff has always been pleasant and knowledgeable.

Calamari rings were tasty although not that many. Butternut squash ravioli was excellent but sized like an appetizer, not an entree.

Decent and well priced. Wine bottle priced by the glass is a bit silly.

Just ok... We were coming once a while for the past four years and every time we come we know that we won’t be back soon... Today’s visit proved it again... We came late lunch time, got seats outside to enjoy the weather and well, we did so, since the service was awfully slow... They weren’t busy but somehow they forgot about our pasta order. But unfortunately when pasta arrived way later it’s wasn’t satisfying at all... No flavor, only poor little 7 clams were hanging out there. Please don’t order rigatoni not worth it at all... Luckily it was on house since it was so late, but it didn’t help to improve the satisfaction... Even desserts were so/so, the promised gelato was weirdly mixed with something so it wasn’t expected standard gelato... Only good things I can say about about pizza and fried calamari. Oh well, won’t be back again... no reason for it.

Nice industrial design and staff. Their tasting board is very generous. Pizzas are good.

It was just ok. I had looked online at the menu prior to going but they've changed the menu and the dish I wanted to try had changed. The campanelle now has rabbit rather than sausage. It was ok. I like that you can do half your from their wine list.

Small upscale Italian restaurant. Menu limiter but high quality food.

Questions & Answers

Yes. The selected drinks and food are about a third of the nornal price!

It's definitely a "mixed" crowd where everyone is welcome. Have ricotta with garlic flat bread!
