   Our party of four had a very enjoyable dinner. Very good service and excellent food! Short rib ravioli, lobster spaghetti and a very large veal chop with browned potatoes. Lively and full dining room. We will definitely return!

   Food was delicious as usual. Antonio was a great server. We never felt rushed and service was prompt but leisurely. A neighborhood gem for sure!!!

   My husband, daughter, and I stopped by this restaurant yesterday, and honestly, it was a mixed bag. The prices were decent, so no complaints there—it didn’t break the bank. The waiters were attentive, always checking in, and the wine was genuinely delicious, a nice surprise that kept the meal from being a total letdown. But the food? Oh boy, it was a snooze. Absolutely tasteless, like they forgot salt, spices, or any flavor existed. My pasta was bland as can be, and the portions were good, I’ll give them that, but what’s the point if it tastes like nothing? My husband and daughter got different pastas, and somehow they managed to taste just as lifeless as mine. We were hoping for a cozy, tasty night out, but it was more like eating fancy cardboard. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but I’m not rushing back.

   We had a very nice evening. Food and service was excellent. The restaurant was packed, so the noise level was high. There was a musician, who was excellent. Perhaps he could have turned the volume down just a touch. Overall a wonderful night.

   First time at an Italian restaurant where I leave hungry. Very small portions and the food was bland. 30 dollars a plate for like 3 bites of food? Way overpriced if you ask me. My son’s kids meal had more pasta than mine. I ordered the lobster pasta which was supposed to come with a lobster bisque sauce but the sauce was just the same marinara sauce used in the kid’s spaghetti and meatballs. My husband ordered the parpadelle and it was dry and bland. The place was very crowded with very little room to walk through the tables. You were sat one party on top of another. That and the live music, you could barely hear each other from across the table. I am very disappointed bc the reviews were so good, and I love Italian food but sadly, our dining experience was not good at all.

   We were seated outside for dunner good idea since inside was quote noisy. It took several minutes till we were asked for drinks . We ordered the salmon and pasta filled with ricotta. The salmon came with potatoes . We decided to have roasted potatoes a=instead of mashed. The salmon was ok however the portion was a very thin cut maybe 1.5 to 2 inches and prob 4 -5 ounces at best for $29 , ala carte beet salad $13 and tomato salad $13as well. It was a hefty price given portion. the tomato salad was small and after eating it a few min she saw a live moth in salad , not sure how it got there! We brought it up to the waiter and he asked if he can bring another . We replied no . I would think he would take off bill or offer dessert? Overall not a a great experience .

    This was our first time there. We were celebrating Valentine’s Day and birthdays. May have not been the best choice given how busy it would be. Food was very tasty, dessert was good, drinks were good. When I made reservation I stated there were birthdays and my husband told waiter about the birthday. No one acknowledged it. Service was slow. I realize valentines is a busy dinner day but others around us were in and out and we were still there. The wait staff bringing our food and clearing our table were hustling and did a great job. Our server was slow with our table and he was a seasoned server.
