We were asked to move tables after eating to make room for a party who were bigger than the table they booked. We obliged but immediately felt pressured by the staff to leave quickly. Was an unfortunate way to end what was otherwise a pleasant experience.

Great staff, very attentive and superb quality food at a great price. I would highly recommend Apulia. It works as a great option for 1-1 dining and for large groups (I've experienced both).
