    Service was slow to start. Appeared to be preoccupied with other things. A person who seemed to be owner or manager intervened and service improved . Waved corking fee as compensation for poor start. Shrimp and pasta had a delicious sauce.

    The owner/waiter is a very very rude person. We had a 5:30 reservation that we arrived 10 minutes early for. We were looking over our menus for about 5 minutes when he came to the table to inform us that we needed to place our order as he "had a very busy night". He then proceeded to stand there with his pad and poised pen waiting. So unprofessional and unwelcoming. The food was ok - not good enough to overlook this man's attitude. In hindsight, we should have just left.

    From start to finish, Martino always goes above and beyond! The food is always the star of the show - We split several appetizers, Meatballs, Salad, Eggplant, Burrata, and Rice Balls - each as equally fantastic! Main's were cooked to perfection and bountiful.

    We had a wonderful dinner last night! Service and food were both amazing. Loved all of the complimentary additions: fresh pecorino cheese from the wheel, zucchini, limoncello! Had delicious pasta and chicken dishes for dinner, and a tiramisu dessert to go. Would love to come back!
