We went in tonight at 5:35 pm and did not get our drinks in until 5:55. We ordered our food immediately and didn’t get our food until 6:47 . We had to leave immediately for a job we had to leave for . After my husband ate his chicken valentine he got sick from food poisoning we realized the chicken was way undercooked because they rushed the food in the kitchen. We are never ones to just tear down a company but this is un called for.

Hi there. This is a lovely place, atmosphere is good, food was authentic and service was on point too. No complaints.Darcey took wonderful care of us and she has a great personalityI had the lasagna with Caesar salad, she had some soup and the margarita pizza (she wasn’t a fan of it but I tried it and It was decent enough that I’d have it again)We’d be back if they’d have us

The owner is polite friendly and has a sense of humor. The marinara sauce for the eggplant parmigiana is very sweet. The eggplant strips are nicely breaded and fried. An eggplant parm wedge would be a nice sandwich to offer, but they don’t sell sandwiches. There is one waitress who wears glasses, and she is curt, unfriendly and unprofessional. This is why I preferred out. Every time we go there, I pray I don’t get this particular waitress. She’s just rude.

Have had better alfredo and red sauce. Pasta overcooked. Husband liked the spicy seafood. Cookies old and dried up.

Best Veal Marsala I have ever had! Very flavorful. I believe they have a happy hour, because my wife’s very generous pour of Pinot Grigio was only $4.95! The veal at $25 a great value too.

So good. Had the seafood cannelloni, subbed out the sauce for Alfredo.... Amazing!!! Took our daughter there for her 17th birthday. Good service, great food and super kind staff. The young hostess was so sweet!

First time at this restaurant and it was an awesome experience. One of the best Chicken Francese dishes ever and the Eggplant Parmigiana starter was delicious. The main restaurant dining area, lacks the atmosphere I seek out, but the lounge seating was great. Loved it! The bartenders and the servers are great and I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

Food not as good as previous visit, dirty wine glasses, never asked table about coffee or dessert. Better dining options in the area.

Took our friend out for birthday dinner. This was our first time to this eating establishment. Here are my thoughts. The waitress seemed totally overwhelmed and thought she had to give us a play by play of her whereabouts in the restaurant. The food came out and my friends plate looked like it had been sitting under the heat lamp for awhile. She ensured me the food looked good but I am not sure if she just wanted to be polite. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and I like the decor however the waitstaff seems totally overwhelmed on a Friday evening. My dinner came out, I had ordered the mussels and I was looking forward to them. Having ordered mussels numerous times before, I was a bit taken back when they came on a bed of pasta. Never before, not even in Europe, did they come on pasta unless specifically mentioned so on the menu. When I inquired about that, I was faced with a rather rude man acting like I was crazy. I will not visit this establishment again. So sad, as this could be a really nice Italian restaurant with a bit of love for food.

Pizza was perfect. The service was outstanding eventhough I ordered to go. I was blinded by hunger and did not catch the man's name that took my order on the phone/ cashed me out but he was very kind. It is not the closet option to my job, but I will take the extra travel time and definitely return!

I've eaten at this restaurant multiple times but tonight was my worst experience ever and I will never return to this restaurant. Given it was a holiday we understood that the restaurant was very busy. But our waitress did not take the time to make sure she had our orders correct she had to be flagged down to correct my friends order. Her dinner was very good. But mine was not our waitress was so frazzled she was not available to tell her how bad the meal was until she brought our check. We attempted to speak with the owner the little man who was walking around the restaurant. He was very rude to us and acted as if it was my fault that the meal was bad. My dinner was not comped. And I will never come back to this restaurant that man should not be left in charge during a very busy evening.

Anybody that doesn’t like the food doesn’t know real Italian. I ordered the large Zuppa De Pesce and it was amazing. The best I have ever had. There was so much I had it for 2 more dinners when I took it home.We always enjoy a slow paced dinner and our waitress was good when we told her no rush.Everything ordered at the table was great.We have been in Venice for 15 years and this was our first visit. We will definitely be back many more times.Our new first choice for Italian.
