    Fuscelli (red) and cacio pepe (white) with Rye Bandit and Peppino cocktails. Absolute delicious.

    I was there for brunch last Saturday and it was a very long one. Food was great and the staff was even better because they let us stay for as long as we wanted. I'm definitely going back!

    This popular Italian spot on 14th street serves up epic cheese plates and gorgeous brunch cocktails. Make sure you snag a table under a fancy umbrella, and enjoy the people-watching. Read more

    This place is a definite favorite. Their amatriciana has great chew, with perfect heat and, though not classico, perfectly hairline slivers of garlic.

    If you're vegetarian, be sure to announce it up front. Not all of the ingredients are listed on the menu.

    Squid ink pasta in saffron broth was great. A bit noisy upstairs and annoying with bar patrons constantly encroaching our table space, but the food made it worth it

    Great wines. Cute space to get a drink and snack on cheese and bread. Entrees and desserts are not great. The grouper was not seasoned; the spinach taste like fish; and the semifreddo was yuck.

    Fried artichokes, the Maltagliati, prosecco on tap and Morgan at the bar = best combination ever!

    Great patio option on bustling 14th street. Try the fried artichokes and carrot soup.

    The "Sofia" cocktail (brunch only, I think) is delightful.

    Gnocchi to die for! Very rich, so pair with some lighter dishes!

    Little Italy feel, and they have charging station for iPhones right next to purse hooks! Genius!

    Voted "Not Worth the Hype" in 2014. We love it for dinner (try the charcuterie plate), but not for brunch Read more

    Their homemade pastas are a solid choice. Pizzas are personal sized.

    Nothing but great things to say about the food, waiters, and bartenders. Host staff are abysmal. Go w/ a reservation or follow up regularly.

    Nice, airy space, but -- like most Italian places -- not a good brunch menu.

    Enjoyed the fried artichokes, lasagna and branzino on the patio. If you can, try to get Anne Marie as your server - she's great!

    Slow service. And I mean, VERY slow service. We're here and we've been waiting for our food for 40 minutes. It's Saturday and there are hardly any people here.

    The service is slow and the glasses of water are small causing the waiters to be slow at refilling your water.

    Pretty space and seems good for dinner, but was terrible for brunch. Out of bread and many menu items, it was a let down and frustrating.
