I was able to get a table on a Friday night without a reservation, which was nice. There were other open tables.
However, I wish I'd opted to eat inside because I was underwhelmed by the patio space, which intersected with a view of the entrance to a hostel lobby, with people walking through. Throughout my vacation I ate at so many extraordinary outdoor dining spaces and was surprised that, for the price range, this space wasn't decorated with accent pieces, sculptures, nicer decorative centerpieces than what you see pictured, ceiling garlands, chair decorations, fancy napkins arrangements, a fire pit, a water feature...something! In some of the other photos here you can see the rickety old fan and exposed beams of the awning which is your unfortunate view. It feels a little...tired...rundown, rather than being "vibrant" or "chill" or a "hotspot" etc. I wouldn't normally be so picky about ambiance, but I dropped $100 on dinner for 1 so thought ambiance would be part of the package.
Waitstaff were friendly, although the service was on the slower side. I asked my waitress for a recommendation on dessert and was disappointed in the tiramisu she said was "life changing." It was ok (like 7/10) but I would rather skip dessert next time or try the chocolate lava cake.
The pasta dish really was special--so flavorful and amazing textures with the soft and slightly chewy pasta, creamy center, and melted buttery goodness, with the "Parmesan" cheez.
