Went early in the evening, service was very attentive, friendly greeting at the door, waitress checked in often at the table but at the same time not too much to be interfering w/dinner. Water was refilled frequently which I appreciate. Everything we had was very good (esp the arancini, and the chicken dish). I didnt have pasta, but it looked delicious. Cocktails were done well, the bar looked nice if you wanted to drop in or opt to sit there instead. Ambiance is good - energetic, 'clean' lines/decor. It's a busy place, so the noise level is loud, but not so much where it's hard to have a conversation. I would definitely go back.
