Overall a fabulous experience. The restaurant is very attentive and timely with your service. Was a group of 3 of us, all got pasta dishes, the squid ink pasta, rigatoni and the braised pork pasta dish. Overall was very good. Ordered a cocktail called The Notorious F.I.G. Incredibly strong drink and very pungent with the smell but in a good way. Sweet and strong drink. We had the Pumpkin Tiramisu to finish and that was the perfect dessert to finish the meal with.

What a great experience we had at this place last night, every single dish was so delicious. We enjoyed everything, but I’m still dreaming about that mushrooms tagliatelle and the passion fruit sorbet. Definitely we will be back. Highly recommend..

Awesome food and experience! Diego was an amazing server and fun to chat with. The tortellini was top-notch, probably one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had. Also highly recommend the burrata.

First time here was a great experience. Wonderful pasta, strong drink (though the waiter told us this would be the case, much appreciated), and amazing dessert (pumpkin tiramisu).

Cute place, food is good, I'm not sure they make their own pasta, though. My dish was flavorful, but the texture of the pasta didn't seem freshly made. My cocktail was great, and the garlic bread was tasty. It was very reasonably priced and our waitress was very nice.

Thompson Italian was amazing! Food was delicious. Service was great. We started off with the lamb meatballs and some complimentary bread & olive oil. We got the squid ink bucatini (spicy, but sooo good), the trente, and the ricotta cavatelli. For desert we had the passion fruit sorbetto, the olive oil cake and the lemon tiramisu. Every single thing we had was absolutely amazing. And the decor was so adorable. The music was also amazing. We will definitely be back soon! So glad they opened a location in Old Town.

This place is awesome! With an outstanding one page menu, every piece is extremely well sourced and made and original! Every dish pairs well with the next course, everything is perfectly portioned, and the cocktails are fantastic! Definitely going again!

I was really excited to try this new Italian place in old town because I love pasta but I was pretty disappointed. The bad: We got 4 dishes and they were all mediocre at best, and also overpriced. The lamb meatballs were chewy and way too fatty. The mezzaluna was entirely too much pesto. It was all you could taste. The squid ink pasta would have been good if there were 60% less chili flakes. It was all I could taste. The lemon tiramisu was basically just lemon creme. I think the meals here have potential but the kitchen needs to figure out the proportions for the flavors. Every dish we got was one note and had very little depth of flavor. The good: We sat at the bar. The atmosphere was great and the bartender was very nice and friendly. We had a total of five cocktails and four of them were excellent and one wasn't to my liking, but I still thought it was well made. Recommendation: Go for the cocktails and skip the food until they change their menu again.
