"I went to this decent and pretty reasonably priced Italian spot with a group a while back. The place inside is charming, though a bit small, and our group sat on a table in the back that was slightly elevated from the rest of the restaurant. The service was alright, being friendly but a bit slow and haphazard. For instance, I got my main dish much later than everyone else, and another person's appetizer arrived at basically the same time as their entree. To drink, I had the very tasty Oreri for $17, listed as a Sardinian boulevardier with rye, Campari, Borghetti caffe liquor, and Mirto wild blueberry Sardinian liquor. The drink was delicious with a bitter-sweet flavor with a bit of light fruitiness, and I would recommend it. My appetizer was the Burrata for $17 with farm tomatoes, toasted almonds, celery, and red onion vinaigrette. The burrata wasn't the largest piece, but it was good, with there being plenty of tomatoes. The celery and almonds added some crunch and texture, and the vinaigrette was very light. As the dressing was light, it was a little under-flavored, needing some salt if they want to keep it simple, or perhaps the obligatory balsamic glaze you see a lot on burrata. I tried a bit of the Endive Salad for $16 with avocado, orange, croutons, and a citrus vinaigrette, which was bitter, refreshing, and tasty overall. If I recall correctly, no one else got an appetizer or salad otherwise. My main dish was the Bistecca Di Tonno for $29, listed as pan-seared tuna with spicy romesco sauce, hazelnut, and chickpeas. I ordered it rare, and the dish came out with the tuna properly seared, but it was unfortunately cold. As said, my dish came out later than everyone else, so possibly someone missed a queue. The rest of the ingredients were flavorful and worked well with the tuna, whether it was the slightly spicy and earthy romesco, the bit of crunch from the hazelnuts, or the chickpeas that retained some texture. If the tuna had been hot, it would have been much more appetizing, and I would have sent it back, but I already got my dish late, so I decided not to, or else I would have held up the rest of the meal. I tried a bit of the Malloreddus Alla Campidanese for $21, a Sardinian gnocchetti pasta with tomato sauce, sweet Italian sausage, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. It was slightly salty, and the pasta had a unique texture and was decent overall. Another person had the Brasato, or braised short rib, which they enjoyed. Another person had the Pappardelle, which they seemed to like. We didn't bother with dessert at the end. The food was decent, but I wouldn't rush to go back."

"My husband and I stopped here for a date night. Doors open, beautiful night, instrumental jazz playing in the background very attentive service....a cozy table for two- we couldn't have asked for a nicer evening out. Recommend : Brussels salad, papperdelle with mushrooms, pesto, tiramisu, chocolate mousse. House wine was good. Pasta was nicely homemade and al dente. Mushrooms off the chart savory and delicious. Not too much food but just the right amount. Walked away feeling good. Recommend!"

"Carlos was amazing. The food was incredible. I want to come back❤️❤️ Also, best place to be for a rainy or cold day. Many cute magazines here to read and find peace in a busy city! Such a sweet waitress a as well"

"This is a cozy restaurant with genuinely friendly staff. I loved my drink we ordered the Hot Lip and a glass of red wine. The pasta was good overall, but for a mushroom-based dish (Funghi), the mushrooms were a bit sparse. I wish it had more."

"Great little spot for before-dinner drinks on a Thursday night. Epistrophy even has the extra perk of pretty solid happy hour deals up until 6:30p. We had thoughtful service and enjoyed the classy vibe with just the right amount of casual grunge. Plus, my wife's cocktail was excellent and I loved my Nebbiolo orange wine. All in all, a great experience! We'd definitely visit again."
