    The dinner was outstanding. I highly recommend the Casarecce al Pesto. Delicious!! It came piping hot and the Pesto sauce was light and still very tasty.

    Loved everything, however. We ordered a glass of champagne for two. Then our 3rd party showed and ordered a glass. I asked our waitress if we could change and pay for a bottle and she said no! We ended up ordering a bottle of wine as well. I just thought she might accommodate, since I'm sure we drank the the bottle of champagne 🤷🏻‍♀️

    They were out of everything we tried to order from two different wines to the entrees. And refused to tell us what they were out of in advance. Just said the menu was changing the next day. Took over an hour to get our first bite of food. Ridiculously frustrating all around. Won’t be going back.

    Had a wonderful dinner together last night. The food was delicious! I had the lasagna, my friends and my husband veal scallopini. I hadn’t seeing my friends in sometime, was perfect to visit and catch up. Our server was excellent perfect timing. I’ll go back whenever I have the chance
