A great neighborhood spot for some delicious Italian food. Appetizers were especially good!
Heather, our server, ran a crowded floor (with just one bartender helping out!) and she is very good at what she does.
This restaurant is small and can get noisy, but I think it is terrific. Will be back very soon!
Thanks, Dinamo! And a special thanks to Heather for handling our party of 6 with such efficiency.

The food was outstanding. Service was great, it definitely is a compact eatery, so you’ll need a reservation. It’s an experience tho - to see the kitchen making your food as you sit and talk. Great cocktails and coffee options. We tried the tiramisu, but it was gone before I could take a picture! It was simply incredible 😋

We had a reservation for a larger group on a Thursday night. The small restaurant was busy but our table was ready on time, it just took quite a while to get drinks and food ordered and then service after we got our food. Otherwise everything was absolutely flavorful and delicious. They really know what they’re doing! Portions are massive so come hungry or dine with friends.

Had a really good meal here, and would definitely recommend it. Tried the mushroom pasta and had a few drinks, all of which were great.

Delightful dinner. More of a southern comfort and Italian food fusion. This was a pre show dinner and didn't disappoint. Huge portions. Highly recommend. Reminded me of under the radar restaurants in SF and NYC. Definitely a Richmond vibe. We didn't have reservations but they found a way to fit us in.

Food was very good here. You also need to consider that most of the restaurants are southern food based. They concentrated on Italian and did it very well. They had decent cocktails, good sized portions, and really good desserts.
Service was cordial. However the atmosphere and tables was kinda a step above a pizza parlor. So sit down wise it feels a bit cramped.

The pizza is great. Service is great. But we were really disappointed to find the mushrooms on our pizza and in the pasta were from a can. I know things are expensive right now but just charge me a few more dollars for fresh mushrooms if you have to. Really didn’t expect canned mushrooms from a place like this. The mussels and the pasta were both really garlicky. I would go back for a pepperoni pizza and a beer but that’s about it.

Very very nice spot for a good dinner. It’s a small place and gets busy so be prepared. We had the lentil eggplant flatbread which was basically an entire pizza! They aren’t shy on their portions. Flatbread was incredible, so many flavors. Dishes we had sweet potato gnucci (solid, needed more sauce) and the mushroom tagliatelle which was great. I also enjoyed being able to see the kitchen and chefs working since we sat at the bar. Good entertainment, lol.

Loved it. Nice people, great modern Italian Jewish food. Had the matzoh ball soup. Hot and tasty with perfectly formed but tender dumplings. Delicious dill notes. Eggs in purgatory were spicy and rich. Belgian farmhouse ale gem Maine was sharp and refreshing.

Not an extensive menu, but well prepared and oh so good. Service is friendly and quick, though limited seating requires some planning ahead or hanging around waiting. One can be served at the (small) bar if impatient to wait for a table. And yes, espresso is served.
