The only negative I have is how loud it is in there. Great food and service

This restaurant may be pricey but it meets that standard in their food. I got the starter meatballs and it was a nice portion that came with bread. I also got some pasta with spicy sausage and it was relatively medium portioned but it was still good and filling none the less. Whenever I go back to Iowa City I would surely visit the restaurant again. The waitress was really nice and patient with us as well.

6/8/22 Update: We had the bacon wrapped figs stuffed with sausage in tomato sauce and sprinkled with gorgonzola, and the burrata again as apps. My wife had the hat-shaped pasta with kale, sausage and cream sauce, and I had the porcini mushroom salmon on gnocchi with peas and bacon, again. It was all quite nice, as before.

We very much enjoyed the burrata, and beat salads, and I enjoyed the salmon entre with wild mushrooms.

Really good Italian hot food. Comes in big portions. Several veggie options if that is what you like. The Burrata is so yummy and a filling starter to share. The Eggplant Parmesan pasta is to die for. The lemon cake is a sweet delight. Roomy inside and they have outdoor seating too.

The atmosphere is inadequate, the food is mid-level and the service has gone down hill since the end of the pandemic. Find better Italian food elsewhere.

Our server was so attentive, and the food was some of the best Italian food I've had. DEFINITELY get the butternut squash ravioli. Cocktails are wonderful as well!

honestly it was so meh, it came recommended from my friends and it just didnt hold the hype. When it comes to italian in iowa city, just to go olive garden tbh

Very good service and food. I got the hanger steak and it was cooked perfectly and had lots of flavor. We also got a margherita pizza, which was a good size for one or two people. The tiramisu was different but still good. We had no wait and we sat outside. Definitely recommend
