    For a restaurant that normally provided a great experience, I don’t understand what was going on. Granted, we had not been there in a while, but food coming out of the kitchen was extremely slow and erratic, several of the dishes that were delivered were lukewarm at best, and no management ever showed up to even inquire about our satisfaction. The server did as good a job as possible given the kitchen‘s performance. This is a place that used to have three or four managers roaming around, checking on satisfaction, and, thus, surprising that nobody seemed to care at all.

    We read so many great reviews and we had high hopes. The ambience is outstanding. However, the taste of the food was only average. It’s presentation was absolutely gorgeous, but it just wasn’t that tasty. Two of us had the eggplant Parmesan. It looked beautiful, but it wasn’t hot enough and it wasn’t tasty enough. Another of us ordered the gnocchi. It needed salt and pepper. Kind of bland. Someone else ordered the veal chop. She only ate half of it. Overall it was very average.

    Pizza was excellent, as was the Caesar salad and arancini. Loved the Orgeat Limeade. Our server was very efficient. Nose was a bit much but not untenable.
