I had high expectations since it seemed to have mostly high reviews. I had seafood over linguine with a white sauce. I had a lot of empty mussels/clams I my bowl, calamari was a bit chewy and the sauce was very bland. Food was a bit pricey for what you got. One small bread basket for table of 7, service seemed a bit rushed, and server was a bit rude. There are many other better Italian restaurants in area to choose from probably will not go back again.

I had the short ribs with parmesan risotto. The risotto didn't have much flavor. The meat was tender and tasty. Given how much meat i got - 3 small pieces, I felt it didn't warrant the price. My caesar salad was also dull. My husband raved about his shrimp fra diovo(sp?) and the arugula special salad. We each had a vegetable side ala cart. When all said and done $150 a lot of money with no alcohol involved.

My last review was about 6 months ago and boy does it hold up - absolutely fantastic food. You're missing out. Hot topic over all the reviews - noise. Since our last time there, they have installed sound proofing panels on the ceiling throughout the restaurant and it makes a HUGE difference. Went a Saturday night, 630pm. Place was about 80% capacity, tables are tightly packed, but I could still enjoy the noise level and talk with my spouse. With the new upgrade of sound dampening panels on the ceiling, this place goes from a 4/5 to 5/5. Best Italian food you'll get within 20-30 minutes of Washington Township. Next best is driving up to Collingswood or going into Philly. What a serious win.

Waiter Ramiro was fantastic. I appreciated how he ask us after our salad if we were ready for our main course instead of just bringing it. He didn't rush us at all. The food was delicious

Been eating great Italian food for years - this restaurant ranks up with the best. Everything we ordered was very much enjoyed. Will definitely be back. Only negative was on a Saturday night it was very loud and hard to hold a conversation.

Excellent meal and service. Two couples meeting up for a date night and first time visit. We all found the food to be excellent from aps & salads to entees and desserts. Our waitress was charming, perfectly attentive and non intrusive as we spent a bit of time catching up! Definitely will return and highly recommend!
First, a warning to all diners who use a gift card, not a credit card - we were charged a processing fee of 3% for using our gift cards. I understand many establishments are now charging a fee for using a credit card but absolutely under no circumstances for a gift card!! We questioned the waitress and she couldn't give us an answer. We asked to speak to the manager, and was told he would not be in until the next day. We called the restaurant the next day and spoke to the manager and he asked if the gift cards were purchased by cash or credit card. We told him that we believed that they were purchased by credit card and a fee was imposed at that time, but that was irrelevant to the issue at hand. Gift cards are the same as cash, and customers should not be charged another fee for using them. He told us that he would look into it and offered to reimburse us for that amount. It's not the amount that is important - it is definitely the principal of the thing. In all fairness, I do have to mention that the manager did offer to take care of us when we returned but we explained to him that we did not complain in order to receive any complimentary food. It was to make him aware of the gift card issue as well as the food. We do not want anything. As far as our waitress is concerned, she was great and the service was excellent. As far as the food, our appetizer of Caprese Di Burrata was excellent. My husband's Linquine Pescatore was also very good. However, I ordered the special which was Flounder Francais and was very disappointed in the quality of the dish. For a cost of $45 for that entree, which doesn't include salad by the way, was disappointing. I should mention that I did have this same dish when the restaurant was newly opened and it was delicious. On a more minor note, our bread was not fresh, and the inside of the bread was still very cold, although the outside was warm, which makes me think it was frozen. I don't think we will be returning. Many other options out there. By the way, we saw a review on another site where the customer also mentioned their issue with the gift card surcharge. Hopefully, this issue gets resolved.

Food was very good; place was too loud, even on a week night. Would love to keep having dinner here, but you cannot hear yourself speak, at the table. They need a bigger space.

Food was delicious but a little pricey for the portion size. Service was great, attentive to table. Used a gift card and was charged the non cash rate which I don't agree with.

The food was incredible. I had one of the daily specials, it was a homemade past and seafood. Had to be one of the best meals I have had out in a long time. Services was also very good. My husband and I will be going back.
