We went for a group event and didn’t meet the “group minimum” so we paid the extra to meet the minimum. We were given wine for this amount paid which was ok. We went to leave and were standing outside and we were rudely confronted by the waitress while outside who complained on the tip amount left. We then had to pay extra money to the waitress until she was satisfied with the amount given. It was beyond me to be confronted so rudely in front of a crowd of people after already being asked to pay the remaining $75 to meet “minimum” for a group event. A drink was forgotten and we were not attended to as often as we could have been. I have been a service industry worker and have had all sorts of tips small and large, but I’ve NEVER rudely and publicly confronted anyone and made them pay more. Embarrassing and pathetic.

This was a great find. Wife and I were in town for the day and didn't know where to eat. Food, service were both excellent. Pricing very fair.

Loved it! We sat outside with our dog and enjoyed some awesome food. We shared a salad followed by a pizza and the carbonara pasta with crusted chicken and mushrooms added on. Yummy!

We are from out of town and stopped for dinner on a Friday night. We did not have reservations, but we're able to get a table late in the evening. The food was great and so was the service. A couple of suggestions... offer the diners a bread basket and have extra parmesian on the tables.

This place is absolutely top notch. The Caesar is the best I've had all year, a long with the carbonara. Everything that everyone else had was also done well according to the others. Thanks for another awesome dinner

Service, atmosphere, and experience were very good! Drinks were also a highlight.

The food was just ok. We ordered for apps— the meatballs and cheesy bread. The cheesy bread was an especially small portion for a larger group, but flavor was good. The meatballs were pretty basic.

For entrees— we got the primavera, bolognese, and pizza. Primavera is very asparagus-centric as in the sauce is pretty much all tastes like asparagus, it was very earthy and didn’t necessarily seem to align with the menu description. The bolognese did not have much meat. And the pizza was also very small, and was the same base as the cheese bread. Pasta portions were reasonable.

I would come back for drinks but not the food again.

This was a highlight of our weekend trip to TC! The pasta was some of the best we’ve ever had, and the prices were relatively reasonable. The house wine and beer was also a great deal. We did have to wait an hour, but we were able to check out some of the shops downtown while we waited!

if i could give it 0 stars i would. it was my bachelorette trip and they were super rude enforcing a minimum they didn’t have. do not recommend going to such a restaurant with such rude people. ruined my bachelorette trip.

Good place to stop by if you are craving pasta! I got the carbonara. Primavera with chicken was another popular option in the friend group. Would visit again

Clam fettuccine was way too salty. Class are salty by themselves, the chef needs to be more careful when adding salt to a dish like this. Expecting waitress to come all how are things but she didn't. Nice place though. My friend said the carbonara was good. Maybe the pasta a little too el dented. Tea was okay.

We always get the crispy chicken Caesar salad. It is the best salad ever. We live 3 hours away and we talk about this salad every day! Can’t wait to come back again! The pasta is delicious too, and the garlic dots!!
