The food is always amazing here. It’s one of our go-to spots for any special occasion. This time our waitress was very impersonal, lacking attention at our table, not introducing herself, and making us wait 30+ min for a check. Granted, they were packed and it was a Friday night, but show a little personality and maybe smile at us once? We were celebrating a birthday and it seemed like she wanted us out the second we sat down.

Food was GREAT, portions were huge (like, really big, it seemed like people around us were sharing things). The only thing I could say it the seating arrangements are a little tight, but it’s also not a big space in there— it wouldn’t stop me from going back. We were a party of two on a Friday night and we didn’t have a reservation and we were able to get it, but I would recommend a reservation.

Immensely enjoyed the food and can't wait to go back. Very inconspicuous place, if you're not paying attention, you'll walk right by it. Even the entry is simply a staircase until you get upstairs. First impression, place is fairly small, but some of the seating is cramped. Your neighbors are so close, you'll feel like they're part of your party. Place will get loud when full. Don't expect a quiet dinner. But the food.. Amazing!! Portions aren't only large enough to share, but you'll have plenty for a second or third meal. I'm hoping they won't have the Spaghetti and Crab next time on the menu so I can try something else, because I'll be tempted to get it again. Can't wait to make my next reservation.

Ssshhhh 🤫 don't let anyone know!?! Best kept semi-secret in RVA!! Top five all-time best Italian 🇮🇹 meals yours' truly has ever experienced!! 😍 Very small, unpretentious, second story eatery with fabulous, fresh, luscious food 😋. The staff is on point in both efficiency and execution! Just a symphony of motion....🤯 We ordered Rockfish and Monkfish Fra Diavolo specials, both of which were cooked to perfection (as well as the Pasta) and the heat of the Fra Diavolo, perfectly spicy without killing taste buds 😏🥵😃. And the Veal Picata, 🙄 melt-n-your-mouth! Fried Squid 🦑 and Chopped Liver antipasti were heavenly 🌠 as was the fresh made, rustic bread with accompanying olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Can not wait to return for another round of Italian perfection!!! Make sure you have a reservation or get there before 5:00 and wait in line; well worth the effort!!!!! Take a night light or your phone to help see 👀 the wonderful plates🍝 (as well as the bill) 💸

Was quite possibly the best pasta I’ve had in Richmond in 25 years. Highly recommended.. as well as reservations. They opened at 5 and we got there 5:10 and there was two tables left.. I got the spaghetti with meat sauce and wife got the pasta carbonara

AMAZING food and great portions for the price. Everything we have tried has been delicious!!! Only downsides are you need a reservation and there isn't much standing room to wait for your table. Even with a reservation we waited over 30 minutes for our table. -- food was absolutely worth the wait though! It isn't handicap accessible and need to go up a long flight of stairs. It is a tight fit and very loud, so not a good spot for chatting. I think this place is amazing and such a wonderful local find! I would highly recommend it!!

Extremely delicious dishes, generous sizes, and great prices considering the aforementioned qualities. I loved this place because it was unpretentious and a wonderful experience. The ambiance was also lively, friendly, enjoyable. I ducked a star because service was slow and they were distracted all the time. I get that it was busy but they just didn’t click with the rest. Although, worth mentioning, we did get seated on a Friday night as walk ins. Still highly recommend going. We ordered the arugula salad, the mussels with white sauce, and squid napoletana. Also great selection of wines, we chose a bottle of 100% sangiovese, montepulciano from 2018 because why not? Price was fair for the quality.

Reservations are highly recommended for bigger parties. We went as a walk in, party of 2 and were seated in about 50 minutes. This place is truly out of this world. It's super small inside, but the food is worth it all.
