Amazing Italian Wine Bar
Great ambiance and really good food. It has a grotto like feeling and is illuminated by soft lighting and candle light. Wine selection is superb and the food is extremely good. The only negative that I see with this place is the service. They can be unfriendly and unprofessional.

bravo
My new favorite, this little gem has a great wine list, solid food and run by real Italians. Makes u feel like ur in a small trattoria somewhere in a Tuscan roadside. Bravi

Charming place
Really fantastic gnocchi and squid ink pasta. Really interesting wines btg but a falanghina tasted old and oxidized instead of floral and fresh and werent given opportunity to taste or refuse glasses Vermentino was good negroamaro rose was great. Felt a little bit ignored arriving 930 after a show but what a charming place. Would certainly recommend.

Impressively crowded
Late on a Tuesday night, no less. Good wine selection, although nearly all Italian. (Not a big surprise.) The food is ambitious, even if it's not quite there. The chef's selection cheese plate was nice, although it could use some crackers (used up my complimentary bread basket with it), and the "truffled honey" is more like "honeyed truffles". Want to probably use a better grade of honey in the future. The tortellini in cream with mushrooms and peas? Two things. A) When using a dried mushroom, make sure it's reconstituted all the way, or chop it really small. B) It's too easy to get fresh shiitakes to use dried ones. Porcinis or morels I could understand, but you can buy shiitakes at the supermarket. Super tight quarters, funky clientele. Service tries hard, but is hit or miss - made my exit exciting, giving me 15 minutes to get to my bus by holding up both dessert service and the check. But the value is damn good, and there's just something about the ambiance. Would go again, if I found myself in the neighborhood, with time on my hands. Another plus - kitchen's open late.

Always consistent
I live around the corner and this is my go-to for a decent glass of wine and some italian tapas...always can get a seat, its nice and cozy and in the summer months they;ll leave the doors open to get a nice breeze! try the mussels =)

Solid Place
I consider this more of a restaurant than wine bar. Not every place with an extensive wine list can be considered a bar. The place is very tiny but the staff is friendly and the menu is great. Good, solid food at great prices.
