    Our server Didn’t really tell us about the chef special. It was quite a sad experience because we have heard a lot of good about this restaurant for the price that we paid we thought for sure we would have a better quality of food.

    The location, ambiance and service were great. The food was not, however. Very mediocre for the price point. I did expect more, unfortunately. My wife's risotto was not cooked right, and the shrimp were overcooked. They took care of it, but still it was a disappointment.

    Great food. Calamari, octopus and bread knots for appetizers were great. Lobster ravioli, gnocchi and lasagna were 10/10. Table set up is very bad, with back of chairs hitting against each other and absolutely no way out once you are seated. Place is dark and very loud so go early if you are only there for dinner with family. Food came out quickly and looked great and they greeted us very friendly. I would go back but with less people and a bit earlier for dinner. No valet parking but lots all around little Italy.

    Anywhere else in Little Italy would be better than this. I’m a local and I felt like I just wasted money at a tourist trap. Don’t spend your money here. The staff is disorganized and have no idea what hospitality means. They can’t even make a decent Caesar salad. Look elsewhere
