Dan Buhler: Great smoked wings. Try the spicy and sweet ones.
Dennis Murray: Brisket was delicious and well seasoned. Wasn't the most tender I've ever had but was very good. Pork and beans and collard greens sides were both great.

Ron: Fantastic Italian food, excellent service, swell bar program! Get the charcuterie for in-house cured meats, smoked chicken liver pate, bone marrow, pizzas, pastas - everything was good!
Pablo Setticasi: The salumi appetizer was amazing! If you generally like salami, prosciutto, and cheeses you will love this dish.
Eater: There's heavy emphasis on house-cured meats, pizzas, and pastas, with unexpected and inspired flavors. The beverage program here, from cocktails to wine, is a hit, too. [Eater 38 Member]

Heather Hale: Their pappardelle is the only pasta homemade fresh on the premises - so worth trying! :-)
Zach Behrens: The free bread is super addictive. If you're trying to watch your calorie intake, just stop them from putting it down in the first place.
Garick Chan: Racist host. Ignored us as we walked in yet immediately looked up and seated a white woman who walked in afterwards first.
