Everything was great, the only reason I didn't give 5 stars on ambiance was because the air conditioning wasn't working. The food was excellent

The food was really good, it was busy, Our waitress was fantastic, we had a few mishaps but like I said our waitress and kitchen made up for it. We will be back again

Although the restaurant was far from full, they sat us at a table that was not big enough for us. It was very crowded. Service was ok - server was not attentive and didn't check on anything, although they were quick to add 20 percent to the bill, which is the minimum I typically would tip, but honestly the service didn't warrant it

Real good Italian food....6 of us dined and were all satisfied with our tasty, well portioned apps and entrees....Our server, Chelea, was attentive, personable and professional...

Disappointing Service Ruined What Should Have Been a Special Evening I took my mom here for her birthday, and unfortunately, the poor service completely ruined our experience. While we were seated promptly and received water and bread right away, everything went downhill from there. We waited 30 minutes before our waitress even approached our table. When she finally came over, she only took our drink order (an espresso martini and two glasses of wine) without asking about appetizers or if we were ready to order food. It took another 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive. Only then did she ask if we wanted appetizers. After placing our appetizer order, she disappeared again without checking if we needed anything else. We waited another 20-30 minutes for the apps, and during that entire time, she never once checked on our table. By the time we finally ordered dinner - over an hour after being seated - our drinks were empty. When I had to call her back to request another round of drinks, she took the order and walked away again. We waited 45 minutes for our dinner to arrive, and she never checked on us once during that time. When she finally delivered our food, she realized she had forgotten to bring our second round of drinks. Throughout the entire meal, she never asked how we were doing or if we needed anything. The service was incredibly slow - we watched other tables that were seated after us finish their entire meals and leave before we even got to order our dinner. While the food itself was good, the terrible service completely overshadowed everything and ruined what was supposed to be a special birthday dinner for my mom. For a special occasion like this, the lack of attention and care from our server was truly disappointing.

Excellent food. Chicken parmesan is wonderful! Stuffed mushrooms are also great.

Ordered shrimp fettuccine Alfredo! The pasta was really hard and the sauce was like burnt on top, when I went to unroll my napkin to get my silverware, there was a piece of the butter sticker was stock on the knife, requested a new set was kinda thrown on the table instead of handing it to me! I used to love going there back in the day, now the food looked like it was warmed up and kinda thrown on the plate! I’ll never go there again! The Olive Garden is much better even though it’s a franchise!!! I’m still paid for the supper I didn’t even eat!!

Still a great place to dine.

We go there quite often. I try different dishes. My date sticks to the same. I like everything I try. We have sat in the same booth on the side against the wall on the bar side twice and love it at that spot. Quiet and love our waiter. Nice place.

Got the mussels as an appetizer and they were great. Extremely tender and flavorful. My wife got the chicken marsala and loved it. I got the beef/pork special that was in a light marina (special for the night) and homemade pasta which was fantastic. Finished off the night with tirimisu and pistachio cake. Both were delicious. Looking forward to the next visit.

Best stuffed artichokes EVER! Thank you! My husband had the lobster ravioli and mussels and they were terrific too. We only did take out, but plan to dine there in person soon.

The food is always good here especially the eggplant rolitani appetizer. We were a party of 8 and our waitress was amazing. So Friendly and fun. The waitstaff were attentive filling our water and bread. Great Experience and everyone liked it
