I recently visited this restaurant with high expectations, but unfortunately, it did not live up to them. The food, while not bad, was far from the flavorful experience I had anticipated. The dishes lacked the taste and seasoning I expected, and overall, the meal was quite underwhelming compared to other similar places.
On a positive note, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which certainly helped improve the experience. They were attentive and eager to make sure we were comfortable, which made the visit more enjoyable despite the food falling short.
One downside, however, was the parking situation. It was quite difficult to find a spot, and we had to circle around for a while before we could park. This could be a hassle, especially during peak hours.
Additionally, I found the prices to be on the higher side compared to other restaurants offering similar food. Given the experience, I would have expected better value for money.
Overall, while the service was commendable, I can’t say I would return for the food. There are other places offering similar dishes at a better price and with better flavor.
I ate here twice over a 3 week stay. I enjoyed the meat lasagna and the fettuccine alfredo. I loved the alfredo so much I ordered it again 4 days later with the grilled chicken. Unfortunately my chicken was completely unseasoned and dry as a bone, so I ate the noodles only. I really wanted salmon instead of chicken anyway but it wasn't an option on the take out menu.

Our waiter at the bar was so inattentive by the time I had eaten my salad and decided I didn’t like it. I had to wait almost 30 minutes for him to come back for me to tell him that I didn’t enjoy it but then the person I came with, had already finished their food.
I gave them a second shot today in order to steak entrée that came with a side salad that was iceberg lettuce why bother having three dollar signs if you’re gonna use one $ ingredients?

We sat there on a Tuesday afternoon. Restaurant was just about a quarter full. The server did not greet our table until 15 minutes later. We ordered couple of appetizers, and lunch specials. I ordered the chicken francese with Alfredo sauce. The chicken was rubbery, hard to chew, just very poor execution of this dish which I have gotten in many Italian restaurants and you should be able to cut with your fork. My friend ordered the chicken parmigiana with pasta. Again their complaint at our table was the chicken, how rubbery, and chewy, very hard to eat. I thought it was just my dish, and I had the misfortune of getting a poorly prepared chicken dish. However my other two guest that the same experience, this is no coincidence. Someone should teach their chef the way to properly prepare chicken going forward. Hope you don’t get anyone sick with undercooked chicken, or plainly delivering poorly prepared chicken dishes. I truly hope service gets friendlier and better, and food preparation of most important. I would over look the poor service all around, however the food just doesn’t cut it.

Visited as part of a party. My spouse has celiac disease and therefore has a serious gluten allergy. I called the restaurant before the party to ask if they could accommodate his allergy since it can be difficult, and we were assured all precautions would be in place. We asked staff every time they brought his dishes if they were safe, and sometimes we were met with disdain. Needless to say, my spouse got sick— he’s been sick for five days. Would not recommend to celiac/gluten allergy customers.

This place looks like it's going to be phenomenal when you arrive. And the staff was outstanding. But the food itself was really not very good at all. The bread at the table was dreadful. The pasta sauce was like a blend of a cheap, chunky Ragu from a jar and Franco American/Chef Boyardee. It made everything taste a little bit like spaghetti-o's. If that's your thing, then you'll be right at home. It's a cool restaurant with awesome service. But all the food was mediocre at best.

The seafood risotto was delicious with lots of seafood. the risotto was cooked perfectly Well worth the money The penna bolognese had good flavor but the pasta was a little overcooked
Nice place, good atmosphere. Had the fried calamari which was fried very well, tender and crispy. Also had the eggplant rolatini which was good. Wish the portions were larger for the price. Good beer on tap. I would like to visit again to try the pizza.
Parking: Plenty of parking right in front.

Food was pretty good, not as spectacular as a more family run place, but can accommodate larger parties. The mozzarella sticks are pretty stock,
Vegetarian options: The vegetarian symbol should be labeled as pescatarian as seafood is not considered vegetarian. Another note to non meat eaters, the vodka sauce contains prosciutto.

Food was well prepared and tasty. Extensive menu selections including small, gluten-free pizza. Menus were tossed across table, not placed at each table setting. Servers and bellpersons reached across and in front of patrons and over food, interrupting conversations.
