   The food and ambiance was awesome! Unfortunately the service was terrible because they were so short staffed. The fire department would have shut them down in a heart beat bc of blocked walk ways and capacity on patio. Servers couldn’t even walk around/get to tables. They had plastic fold up tables outside for big parties. Everyone was kind, just super short staffed. Food took 45 mins and you could tell it had been siting under a heat lamp. We were without water for a majority of the meal. All the tables around us had the same problem and were getting very frustrated.

   The service was not prompt. Probably she was too busy. Food was ok relatively large portion and expensive. Hope has a little bit more quality in pasta and secondi. Anti pasta was good. Wine price are 3x.

   The food was absolutely fantastic—everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in their dishes, and it was well worth the visit for the quality of the meal alone. However, the overall experience was disappointing due to the service and seating arrangement. We were a party of three and were placed at a table meant for two, which made for a cramped and uncomfortable dining experience. Meanwhile, we noticed other parties being seated at more spacious tables, which was frustrating. On top of that, the service was frustratingly slow. I value my time, and waiting this long for food and basic service really took away from the experience. It wasn’t just a slight delay; it felt like we were constantly waiting—for drinks, for our meal, and even for the check at the end. While I appreciate great food, I also value comfort and efficiency, both of which were lacking. If they can improve the seating and service, this place would be much more enjoyable. That said, once the food arrived, it was outstanding. If they can improve the pacing of service, this place would easily be a five-star experience.

   Unfortunately not a great experience. We were sat for 20+ mins before the waiter even came around to ask for our drink order and then that took forever to come. We were never told they were out of pizza dough until we were ordering and asked for pizzas so we had to order something else. Food was good but the service was very disappointing 🥲.

   My partner and I had an amazing experience. There were absolutely no complaints whatsoever from the service to the food which by the way, spectacular. I don’t think anything was wrong with it and will definitely come back again.

   Food was good but not worth the price it had, service was excellent, atmosphere was good but where I was seated sadly I had no view of the rooms without turning around awkwardly. For the price tag I should be able to see the the wonderful restaurant. Drinks were great I expected that

   Service was impeccable and the lunch special was great. We started with the order of the calamari, which was really good and crispy. I had the Italian chopped salad and small Branzino, and my bf had a Caesar salad and the chicken Parmesan. My issue was really about the seating. There were two of us and we were seated next to the only other table for two, and both were crammed together next to a column/partition, so the back of my chair touched the back of the chair of the woman at the other two-person table next to us. All the other tables were for parties of five or six and there were half booths around the perimeter, which were beautiful. The restaurant was only about 10% occupied at 2pm on a Saturday. Why not seat us at a larger table or booth where we can take in more of the restaurant and ambiance? The hostess took us back all through all these empty tables to get to a little crammed area, which didn’t make sense. Odd.

    Food was good once we finally got it. Appetizers took a long time to come out and as soon as they came out, our dinner came out. Quite expensive for what you get. Wouldn’t mind if the service was excellent. Maybe they were short staffed ?
