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!!

I hate to give a negative review because the waitstaff were very friendly, but unfortunately I don't think my dining experience here delivered on what I would expect for the price point.To start with something positive, I did enjoy the wine. They were reasonably priced and it is definitely a heavy pour if ordering by the glass, which I'm not going to complain about.Some of the negative points:* We were seated in the basement wine cellar; the corner alcove in which sat our table smelled so dank & musty we had to ask to switch tables, which thankfully they allowed us.* The service was quite slow, and we were sitting easily 15 minutes with empty plates between each course. Similarly they were not going around to refill the water glasses so mine sat empty for most of the meal* I ordered the quail appetizer. It was presented with the serving fork fallen completely into the sauce, and the sausage inside tasted (to me) a bit dry and overcooked* The linguine was a little watery and the butter sauce emulsion had broken, so there was just a buttery watery pool at the bottom of the plate* This may be superficial / subjective, but the music played was genuinely offputting. It was like a playlist solely composed of sensual crooning covers of top 50 pop songs

I went to this restaurant a few weeks back and the food was absolutely delicious. I say that as an Italian American, who is hard to please, when it comes to Italian food, however, despite all of this, I had a bit of an issue, because even though we made a reservation, we wound up waiting for 35 minutes for our table!!!! the waiter was very nice and offered us wine but I don’t drink and reservations are meant so that you don’t have to wait that long. It was 930 at night on a Friday.
