    It was Valentine’s Day so the place was busy. The food was awesome. Great fried calamari, the tagliolini zuppa di mare to die for with those fresh handmade noodles, veal Francese and Veal Parmesan, we’re so good. Desert was a strawberry pana cotta. The server took 20 minutes to even approach us about drinks or appetizers. He was sure handed but not attentive. Had to be prompted and asked. But, I understand. It was a holiday. His methods remain unchanged even after the room cleared out. I’ll go back but request a different server next time. Deliciously wonderful experience!

    Bad mussels. Awful service. The owner is very unpleasant and unhelpful. We didn’t have the server (the owner) check on us for over an hour. Spoiled mussels have made us sick. I hope they address this.

    Disappointing Valentine’s Day Experience My fiancée and I visited this restaurant for the first time on Valentine’s Day, hopeful for a great meal. Unfortunately, it was a major letdown. I ordered the heart-shaped lobster pasta from the Valentine’s Day menu ($34), which was a small portion, flavorless, and had a sauce that oddly tasted like cream of chicken. The texture was off, and the dish lacked any seasoning. My fiancée’s veal Parmesan from the main menu was soggy and equally underwhelming. Neither of us could get halfway through our meals, and we skipped dessert altogether after losing our appetite. For the price, we expected much better quality and flavor. Sadly, it felt like we would’ve had a far better meal cooking at home.

    Went on Valentine's Day. Food was not as good as we normally expect. It may have been because it was more crowded than usual for Valentine's Day.

    I had the sea bass for lunch today. It was fabulous. I would definitely order that again. Everything we had for lunch today could not have been better. The calamari appetizer was the best calamari appetizer that I have ever had. What a delightful culinary adventure!
