The bruschetta was perfect. Highly recommended. We tried the veggie cannelloni and the pesto farfadelle. Delicious!

Food was excellent, specially the Steak salad (amazing dressing on the fresh baby spinach leaves) and the chicken breast in white wine. Service was also extremely friendly and helpful. Italian music in the background was nice, I would add more classics Italian music but it still was a great atmosphere.

We made a reservation and still we wound up waiting over half an hour for our table after we arrived. The maitre de said that it was because the previous diners were still paying for their meal. If that's the case then the waiter needs to hurry them along to pay informing them that there are people waiting to be seated. Food was okay overall, but the linguine with scallops, calamari, mussels, and shrimp. There was only one scallop in the mix and the shrimp tasted like dirt. Risotto with pork tenderloin. The pork was extra chewy (way overcooked). Waiter was nice enough, but didn't ask us how the food was after we ate. There was also a party of around 30 people in the restaurant proper while we were there, so I can see how that can effect wait times for seating, but if that's the case, then don't accept reservations, or close the restaurant and make it a private event. I'm sure our experience was situational, but it did affect our time there unfortunately. Not sure if we'll be back.

Kind of an underwhelming storefront in an otherwise very picturesque Princeton. Otherwise, very intimate and close seating inside. Make sure to ask about the chefs specials because many people from my party tried the special dishes! The vodka chicken parm was incredible! The chicken cutlets were perfectly thin and crispy, the vodka sauce was creamy, yet light and spicy. Served over a bed of al dente linguini, this was a very filling and tasty dish! Good prices, and another great BYOB spot, so make sure to bring your favorite wine to pair with some great Italian food!

I feel quite bad giving such a low rating because the service was lovely, but the food really didn't appeal to my dining companion and I. We left after the appetizers. My companion ordered their appetizer special. The sausage could have done with some sauce, since it's naturally dry. I like that there's a bit of spice in it, and found it tasted better with some added freshly ground pepper. I think the spinach could have been blanched a tad more, as it was still somewhat bitter. The cheese and peppers were standard. Overall, some extra glaze or sauce for extra flavor would have been great. The truffle gnocchi appetizer which I ordered was fairly standard and had the minimum amount of sauce. It was good, but not great. For the mains, I'm afraid there just wasn't anything that really spoke to us. That may very well be our own pickiness, but the mains selection just felt rather boring for a sit-down restaurant. Some of the sandwiches could do for a quick lunch, but this is meant to be a proper restaurant rather than a cafe. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was lovely - our servers were very friendly and attentive - but unfortunately, the food just didn't cut it.
