It was extremely hot in the restaurant and it made for a very unpleasant experience. If not for that, everything else was good.

Food was good but not outstanding. Waiter was nice and polite but took way too long to serve drinks, no offer of bread for the table ( It's an Italian restaurant-c'mon!) and left us waiting for half an hour after we had finished our meal. Maybe not entirely his fault as we did not see other servers in the place.

A well established place with pretty good food. But we went on a Tuesday night and it was very busy and noisy, even though it's a pretty small room. The waiters seemed totally overwhelmed and the service was extremely slow and bafflingly incompetent. We were offered and ordered items on the menu that they'd already run out of or didn't have available. We had to ask for our drink orders many times, and refills of our water. The room was under air conditioned and steamy on a humid night. The food that we did get, however, was very good.

Server might have been overworked but she was rude and annoyed everytime I asked her for something. But when you park us at a corner table and then completely ignore us, what do you expect?! I will need to ask for things - like bread, olive oil, a second glass of wine (which I never got). It was terrible service and I RARELY write negative reviews.

Pasta was poorly seasoned, way too much red pepper (and nothing else) in one dish and no flavor at all in another dish. Caesar salad was just okay, especially for the price. Service was rude and our waiter tricked us into paying $8 for a bottle of water. Server looked down my friends shirt on two separate occasions. Don’t go here.

Quality of food dropped significantly over the last few years, between over-cooked pasta, cold shrimmps, and super-dry tiramisu (have they ever had a roper tiramisu?!). It's a pitty, it used to be a good restaurant, comes at $100/pp with wine, not worth $20

Place checks all the boxes and the ambiance is spot on for a romantic evening or a family gathering in the wine cellar. Food was fresh, tasty. The steak option has an amazing addictive cheese sauce that will leave you wanting more.

Nice interior, otherwise poor experience. Octopus was not trimmed or cleaned properly, had an unappetizing malodorous effect. Cesar salad had mayo-based dressing. Shrimp (7pc for $23) wasn’t cleaned properly either and the sauce, though flavorful, was mostly butter. Service was slow, waiters too insistent on dessert.

The food was okay… for an italian I was expecting the pasta to be cooked al dante but they were overcooked (breaking) & the buffala was so-so. Although, the tricolore salad was good as well as the agnello (lamb).The staff was hurrying us up which was slightly frustrating. Overall too pricey (400$ for a group of 4) for the experience...

Very disappointed with the food, celebrating our daughter’s birthday with my wife, son, daughter-in law and my daughter. But aside from that, the waiter failed to inform me of the gratuity already included on the bill, and it was too dark in the room to notice that, so I inadvertently double tipped my waiter for his mediocre service! It was the slowest service I’ve ever had. The waiter was nice but it took so long for him to even take our food order. Please post this and learn a little bit about customer service and stop robbing your patrons!!
