I thought the food was great, and our server was on top of it. My mom is someone who always asks for extra things and opinions, and he handled it so well. I thought the wine was a great value, and we all enjoyed every dish we got.

We came here for Christmas Eve dinner. It is dark and rainy, and the front entrance is not well-marked. But after finding our way in, the ambiance was perfect. The menu is good, with lots of options for Italian food. Our party enjoyed capparise and meatballs as starters, along with lasagna, risotto, and spaghetti with a vodka sauce. Everything was tasty and well-cooked, and the portion size was not too big or too small. Our only complaint… I don't like to sit five adults in a booth. One side has to sit three, and I don't find that great for comfort or concernversation. Minor detail; otherwise, I highly recommend it.

Salads, pizza and chicken pot pie were all winners. Service was attentive, friendly and helpful in navigating the menu. New neighborhood gem!

My only reason for give four stars on the overall category is due to the confusion of booking/making a reservation for this restaurant. We was not aware this is actually TWO different restaurants with "Vino" being on one side, while "Carbone" is on the other side. When I made my reservation - I thought I was reserving for the "Carbone" side (not realizing this was a different restaurant, of course). We had already looked at the menu online and through OpenTable which is the menu for "Carbone". Once our server came out and handed us the menu, we was confused as we did not see anything mentioned online that she was telling us. When we asked her, that is when she explained the difference in the two different restaurants, which we was not aware of. She then informed us we have to get a "reservation" card at the front host stand to email and make a reservation for the "Carbone" side of the restaurant. Said all of that to say - 1) this should be better explained when making a reservation and 2) the restaurant should have both menus easily and most definitely understandable that there are two different menus due to there being two different restaurants right next to one another. The service and food was great - so this does not fall on them - this falls on the owners/management of this establishment.

I have eaten there many times and all the food is good.
