   Gorgeously decorated restaurant. The ambiance was lovely and service was excellent. We have been to the restaurant before and the food remains exquisite.

   The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous and no matter what we ordered it was delicious. We had so much fun and the service was very good, I would definitely return.

   This is not my first time, I always return to this restaurant and they never disappoint. The food is so good and the staff is excellent. The Sunday brunch is very well priced and the ambience is always very pleasant

   Better quality in years past. The veal parm for 2 was overpriced and overcooked. Veal is not supposed to be tough. Very disappointing.

   They must’ve changed their chef - I come here for chicken parm mainly because it’s always been simply the best. Last night the chicken parm was SO horrible.

   Maiella made our New Year’s Eve celebration truly special! The ambiance was festive and elegant, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The food was exceptional; every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, making the night feel extra memorable. The staff, especially our server, Jose, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made us feel warmly welcomed. The DJ played a great selection of music. It was a fantastic way to ring in the new year, and I can’t wait to return for another amazing dining experience!

   Horrible experience! Overrated place with very poor customer service. I would definitely not recommend it! Food was bland except for the lobster pasta which was excellent. Value is poor for what you’d pay for.

    Went there for NYE, what a mistake. We had reservation at 10PM. Upon arriving shortly after the time of the reservation, they made us wait in the entrance of the restaurant for 15 minutes before sitting us at a table that was free and ready since we got in. I know that for a fact since it was next to the entrance and we could see it during our whole wait time. Since the table was next to the entrance it was cold the entire night. Upon seating we get no welcome for 10 minutes. A piece of bread placed on the table with no introduction and still no water. While looking at their menu one of the runner comes and places a plate of arancinis on the table and leave before we can say a word. According to their menu that’s the second course. He comes back a few minutes later take the plate off and go 2 tables further and drop it. Luckily for the other guests we hadn’t touched it. We finally order, from the 4 options on the pre-fixed menu only the short ribs seemed like a great choice. It appears we weren’t the same to think that since after taking our order the waiter came back to tell us he didn’t have short ribs anymore. We then had to settle for raviolis and halibut. The first course comes and we receive the second course at the same time. We thought it was a bit weird and felt pressured. The shrimp and carpaccio we had as a starter were great. The second course of arancini was cold. Not from having sat at the table while we were eating our first, but entirely cold. We had to mention it afterwards since no one cared to check the quality of the food with us. They then offered us a round of drinks, which we appreciated. While refilling our water they dropped some water and ice in my fiancee plate and didn’t even care to acknowledge it or say sorry. Main were unremarkable, the side of the plates were dirty and it felt rushed. We felt robbed for the price they charged the value just wasn’t there. Don’t matter mentionning anything special, they don’t acknowledge it
