Food was terrific. Most portions were great. Wish that they had not covered the rosemary potatoes with marinara sauce and that we had known the ravioli portion was small. The lasagna was the best! Wait-staff was amazing! Restaurant is a little noisy, especially as it filled up with diners, but not a huge problem.

Food was excellent especially the Bene salad. Splurged and had the tiramisu. So good. The restaurant wasn't busy and many open tables. Was a bit irritated that we were sat at a 2-top against the bar wall... wasn't a comfortable spot and certainly not warranted on a sparsely populated night. Guess reserving was not rewarded. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Loved food. Only one other table while we were there and service nonexistent. You have to ask for bread (we found out after meal). I will go back for food with understanding that service not worthy of tip (but we still tipped which contributes to problem)
