Went last night with husband and daughter. The menu is much smaller than before and food was just okay. Prices are very expensive. I understand it’s under new ownership. Too bad…At one time it was our favorite Italian restaurant. Won’t be going back.

Service is laughable.
Waited over a half hour (!) for my salad to arrive.
To their credit they gave it to me, gratis, but I had to tell them to buy it for me or keep it!
Server was very good but management couldn’t care less…
Not a word of apology.
Food, by the way, was OK.
I won’t be back and I urge potential patrons that this place is living on past glory…

Food was amazing! Great service plus the pre fix menu benefits Blessings in a Backpack.
I will be going back!!
