    Excellent experience. Could not have been better service and a great atmosphere for some of the best Italian food I’ve had in the US.

    Last night was a disappointment. First we were seated in a tiny table for 2 and felt very crowded in. Then the a/c was so high I froze until the gentleman at the table next to me noticed and asked the server in Spanish to lower the heat. The new server was nice but not experienced and the server that has been there longer was not very pleasant. I asked for a half order of the truffle pasta as I was in the mood for it but a full order was too much and he just said no “the chef doesn’t like to make that half” the last 2 times we were there the pasta was inedible and we could tell the chef wasn’t there and they saw we didn’t eat it but didn’t ask why or take it off our bill. Last night the chef wasn’t there but unfortunately I didn’t order the pasta due to the server saying that. He then comes asking if we want desert and quickly cleared our plates. I didn’t even eat my portion of the branzino. I’ll think twice about coming there again. We have been coming there since they opened and frequently but the last 3 times (including last night) were extremely disappointing.

    The service was excellent and our party enjoyed the grilled octopus appetizer, the seafood special and margarita pizza. The buttermilk cake dessert was delicious.
