Nice hidden gem right in downtown.
I stopped here for a late night bite and glass of wine.
Well, one glass turned into three, but same thing! I love bubbles and they just go down so easy.
Each glass was crispy cold (not just cool).
I also ordered the mushroom spinach pasta and it was delicious, a generous portion too.
I sat at the bar and read a bit while enjoying my meal and had a delightful time.
I would recommend stopping here if you are in the area and looking for a relaxing, laid back, yet elevated-feeling environment and experience.

Cute restaurant for dinner.
The pasta I had was cooked perfectly, and was actually good.
The spritz I tried was also pretty nice, well balanced.
Service was alright, food took a while to arrive.
It was also hard to flag down our waiter.
Overall we still enjoyed our meal.

Do not eat this place unless you are okay with being disrespected. The appetizers were good, but the entrée and service were way below expectations. I paid over 100 USD for lunch, but the service was outrageous.
The server mistreated us!! I wanted to give "0.5 pt" for the service.
Honestly, I think this place's tip expectation is way too high considering their services. We added prosciutto to our mushroom pizza.
However, they gave us a plain mushroom pizza. They took quite some time to deliver the prosciutto in a separate plate.
When I asked for the explanation, the first server gave me a blank glare and did not even bother to explain nor apologize.
When our original server came, she "did not apologize for" missing prosciutto in the first place.
She simply told us to put prosciutto on top of the pizza, which is nonsense!!! If we order additional toppings, we expect those to be added to the pizza, not being served in a separate plate COLD. I felt that I was not welcomed here as the server took orders from another party that came later than us, though we were already ready to order. Based on the service and experience, I would strongly NOT recommend this place.
I felt discriminated and neglected here. I would rather eat at restaurants that well treat me than look down upon me.
