The restaurant needs reservation, and the chef is very polite and kind to accept my late call. They played good music with decent lights to make the right phenomenon for a good dinner.nThe food is absolutely delicious and the serving pace is just right. I enjoyed a small but good conversation with their kind staff. And the chef showed up to make sure you feel comfortable.

Hands down, my favorite restaurant in Albany! My partner and I have enjoyed many memorable date nights here. Delightful staff, great ambience (both patio and indoor) perfect for both special occasions and mellow week-night dining. Truly, truly remarkable food. Ali's dedication to quality comes through every bite (and Limoncello shot). This place is a real gem — I can't recommend it enough! 11/10

Very well executed Italian food from the Lombardy region in Italy's north. My party could not find a flaw in any of the 8 dishes we ordered.nnThere was a minor inconvenience with the fact that we were seated at 9pm for a 7:30pm reservation. It was somewhat understandable considering we were a party of 8 and the space is limited. However, some better organization would be appreciated.

As we all experience sheltering in place and doing what we can to slow down and stop this virus, we decided to place a take out order from Ali with curbside pickup so that you don't even have to get out of your car. That made the decision to order easy. AND the food was outstanding. It was ready on time, hot and delicious. I have been told by my family that my eggplant parmigiana is so good that I shouldn't order it at a restaurant because I would only be disappointed....well, I ordered it last night and it was so good! I will definitely be ordering that again. One of many of my favorite Italian dishes. And the pizza's are always the best as well.nnOne tip, while all this craziness is going on, try and call in your order before 3 pm. I heard they had to turn away quite a few people last night.

Finally ordered from here last night and I must say it exceeded my expectations! We had the pizza and the burrata salad and everything was so flavorful and fresh. We will for sure be ordering from this place again very soon. I wish we had a picture to share but we were so excited to try it and devoured it quickly
