The Scene – Starting with the window's cute moon logo, the owners of the former tenant, Taku, have effortlessly morphed their somewhat austere space into a more inviting Italian restaurant that blends in better with the neighborhood. The red leather banquettes, long stretch of bar seats and spacious garden fills up quickly with the usual Smith Street mix: yuppies on dates, weekly dining parents and the occasional gay couple. – – The Food – In a neighborhood full of red-sauce Italian, seasonal small plates and mostly red-sauce-free pastas are a breath of fresh air.

Slow Service, small portions
by pippa82
I went here twice. Both times the service was slow and the portions were very small. The second time we went, my friend found a hair in his pasta and my fish was undercooked. I left feeling hungry. On the upside they do have a good wine selection, but it takes much too long to get your food.
- Cons: slow service, small portions

Authentic

I thought the food here was excellent. From the bruschetta to the chocolate cake, amazing. Would highly recommend. My only negative comment would be that the portions are small, so order plenty if you're hungry.

This place is awful!
by cateastend
This place is so bad! It is loud, the food is bad, the service is slow. I ordered the orchietta with sausage and it was so spicy. My friend ordered the meatballs and he said they sat in stomach for hours afterwards. The portions are really small except for the chicken made in a sweet and sour sauce, that was just plain weird tasting.Even the expresso they messed up, they served it with a spoon that did not fit in the cup. Don't bother coming here.
