Superb! With a feel of walking into a food kitchen market and seated in the main dining room that's bright and welcoming space. The tables made us feel like seating at an elevated farm to setting. Service was so well done that we didn't think they were there but they were. Thinking about the grilled octopus still brings back fond memories of the char, roasted flavors. Amazing. Burrata was sumptuous. Meatballs can't say anything bad. For mains, the short rib mafaldine was divine from the richness, seasoning without overwhelming and makes me take my time to appreciate all the flavors. The clam linguine was perfect but I'll have some more short rib please! Enjoy!!

Went there to celebrate Mother's Day. It was really good experience. Food quality and quantity was perfect and service was really fast and host gave us enough time to explain about the food in detail. Pasta is must try and pizza is the best I have ever had, thin crust with full of flavors. I would recommend this place and would definitely revisit whenever I get chance.

I visited this place with my girlfriends and our respective kiddos for a pre-Mothers Day celebration and was absolutely blown away by the experience. Our server, Anais was simply amazing - providing great recommendations when it came to drinks, very patient with all the kiddos taking their time to order and checking in on us every now and then to ensure we were never without food or drink. We tried a variety of appetizers - the roasted tomato focaccia, the burrata w/tomatoes and olives, fried squash blossom, cucina meatballs and truffle herb parmesan fries. For our entrees we had a few orders each of the artichoke and spinach ravioli, bucatini amatriciana, short rib mafaldine, chicken milanese and fennel sausage pizza. And to wrap up- we tried the chocolate budino (my fav) , the basque style cheesecake, the tiramisu and gelato.

This spot really sets the bar for ambiance :) I loved it! And I loved the wine cellar aspect when you walk in, very cool. The food was delicious, we split the grilled octopus starter and I had clam linguine for my main. The staff was super friendly, and of course the wine options were endless. Would definitely recommend as a date night spot or to catch up with a friend!

Inside an upscale shopping plaza with a Whole Foods and boutique style stores, this small restaurant chain mixes a funky design aesthetic with a fun, lively atmosphere as well as a wine shop where you can find interesting wines of the world. Bonus on buying retail and drinking on premise.Very friendly staff - many came to say hello.We visited during happy hour which offers some discounts on wines, drinks and a few menu items.Meatballs - nice. Served over polenta with marscapone which was rich and creamy Chopped salad - under seasoned, could have used a bit more ooomph. Mussels - nice broth, well grilled bread to accompany. We enjoyed the people watching and the hospitality. Will be back to try wines and some of the entree items!

Took my partner here for a birthday surprise group dinner. Great service, food was delicious and served quickly. Spencer was our waiter and he was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and quickly catered to our every need. Atmosphere was lively but not disruptive. Highly recommend this place to couples and groups.

The menu is always changing, but good haul from this takeout! I got the mushroom pizza, which is very delicious and good for two meals... And their new smoked salmon dip! Big pieces of fresh smoked salmon, a salmon purée, and a bunch of flatbread crackers to eat it with very delicious meal! I wish more restaurants would do taramasalata style appetizers. Pacific social had a delicious one on briefly and then removed it. I hope Urban Kitchen keeps this one here, presumably borrowed from the Gold Finch menu since it's more a Jewish than an Italian dish. The only thing I would change is a little more dill and a little more seasoning. But it was a great value and I'm dividing it over three meals!

I came here for a catered group outing. We took pasta making classes, cocktail making classes, and charcuterie board making classes. Afterwards, we were treated to an assortment of salads, pizza, and pasta. The food, especially the pasta, was some of the best that I've had in a very long time.

I came here with a few friends for an early dinner. It had been a while since I last dined here so I was exited to try it again. Sad to say, nothing I had was great. To start we ordered the squash blossoms and focaccia. Both were standard but the focaccia had more flavor than anything else that was ordered. The Italian chopped salad was lacking flavor, I felt like the dressing was just lemon and olive oil. There was nothing special to it and it bordered bland. For my main dish I ordered the bucatini Amitricana and it was not great. Overly salty, sauce was lacking flavor. Traditionally it should have been made with pork belly but this tasted like pork cheek (no big deal). The pork was burnt to a crisp, each piece I had tasted like charcoal. Wine selection was fine. I think for the price point they offer everything should be great but it was severely lacking. Waiters were fine. I ordered the bucatini without an egg and it ended up coming with one. Not a huge deal except the up charge was 3 dollars. I am giving two stars because their desserts were good. Tiramisu was made well and had great flavor. Overall I have had way better Italian around the area. I think the food needs some work. Maybe the pizzas are better? I don't know.
