I just ate the most delicious spaghetti everrrr from here! Like seriously rivals the east coast and Europe The Nero spaghetti is this spicy seafood red sauce spaghetti, usually with clams, squid and shrimp but I got it with the shrimp only and omg was it the best I've had in such a long time!! Will be coming back regularly for this now And also got as spicy margarita which was very simple yet strong and a nice twist on a classic lol I absolutely love the atmosphere here, very dark low lighting With loud music and right advice the bar seems to be a super cool upstairs seating area And even though masks are back on to be seated, the bar is still open! Not to mention my bartender was way awesome!! Overall 10/10 for sure

Been coming here off and on for 10 years. I always get the fresh ricotta and a negroni. Also wld recommend the Nero pasta and the pizza. Buy the pizza and eat a slice there it's not the same once you take it home.

Went here for the first time and ordered the Crispy Brussels and the Chicken Sando. Incredible. Their homemade bread is delicious. Love this place!
