I really liked this place, the kindness of the service, the food and the atmosphere was great. ...until we ment Amber, who I think is the manager. Upon entering (mind you I have meen here multiple times now) a server had told me she'd have a table for me but if would be a little bit of a wait, which I didn't mind. An elderly couple entered after I did, and got seater almost right away. Which again, I did not mind. But I did ask Amber, who said that she was "waiting for my full party" (my mother, who was the only other person, was parking the car). So I waited, and them my mom arrived and she as soon as she saw her, refused service because she was ", " and "walked out on her cheesecakes" and "never tips".SO.My mother walked out on those cheesecakes because they were not the right flavor, she was not trying to be rude and was simply in a hurry.My mother is not rude, that seemed like her personal opinion. And that by itself is not a solid cause for why we should be refused service. If anything, she is the one being "rude".My mother does tip, although not often because she did not live in the states until recent. In our culture and country, we don't tip. It's still an adjustment. If you were so worried about that you could've said something. Again, you can communicate.Mind you, this manager lady has not said anything prior to seeing my mom. Our table was 'ready'.So in reality.Who is disrespectful?Who is rude?Fix your attitude, don't ruin other people's nights.Above all, never disrespect my mother like that.

Penne pasta only for the Gluten Free options which is a bummer to enjoy something enjoyable each visit. Catering to more of a generational family style experience. I vote for gluten free Angel hair pasta pls!Dietary restrictions: Just GF penne. ?

Exactly what you’re looking for in a cozy nice neighborhood Italian restaurant. They have a bar area with TVs, so if you want a drink after work while you wait for your to go order, it’s still a lovely experience. During the summer their patio is enjoyable.Vegetarian options: There are several vegetarian options available, and I highly recommend their vegetable lasagna.

I love the staff here. They recognize us even after we moved cross town. The manager and Kate are true gems.

Mediocre service, food and atmosphere. Certainly nothing horrible; however, nothing special either. Olive Garden is much better.

Hans Schobert verbally admitted that he does not care if his female patrons feel safe in his work environment. He also took it upon himself to verbally attack various women online. Is this the kind of employee that this establishment wants to represent them?

Was looking for a restaurant that was open after 8:00pm and came across this place. Ratings were good so it was worth the try. Arrived at the place and waited several minutes before any of the staff acknowledged that we were there. Eventually someone came past and ushered to a free table after they had prepared it. Service was friendly and good with a smile. Garlic bread with olive oil dressing as a taster good idea but at least bake the bread and don’t serve it raw. Pasta bolognese was ordered which came out very quickly which is warning sign. Too much water on the plate and the pasta at different temp and texture was a tell tell sign this was not properly good. Sauce was bland, watery misding salt and water from the pasta just made it mushy. Meal balls tasted bland as if filled with bread. Not sire where the high scores come from but real Italian food.. just ok for a quick meal. Nothing special

Very nice meal with great flavor of Italy in an out of the way location. Traditional atmosphere. Plenty of parking. Moderate to high prices with plenty of options for your pocket book. I will be going back.
