Delicious food and excellent service. I really liked the Truffled Artichoke Hearts and the Italian Long Peppers.

I had a bad dining experience here many years ago which involved waiting more than an hour while having a reservation and being served freezer burned gelato. the whole experience was incredibly mediocre and i have avoided the restaurant since.however, i recently moved back to the area and decided to give it a second chance. I came for an early dinner where the dining room was about half full. i had the fig based drink which was fine. i found the brussel sprouts ordered as a side to be tough to eat, as though they had not been roasted enough. the cheese on top had also congealed as though it was not freshly shaved on but from a bag of supermarket cheese. the portion size of my entree was large, but the taste was overall bland. my service was good, but i did find the entire experience to be cold, which is how i would describe the restaurant. devoid of personality in a sense. i won’t be returning.

This was my second time eating here for tapas style food, had lunch and previously dinner. The menu does not change. I recommend getting the olive bread, warm olives, and calamari. The pork ribs were okay. My boyfriend really liked the truffle fries because they were crispy but I prefer thicker and more soggy ones. We got the meatballs again but they were not as good as I remembered, a bit bland. The pizza looks delicious but did not try it yet. The service was subpar as we came on a Wednesday and it was empty but had to ask the waiter 3 times for sliced lemons and kept forgetting other requests. The price of the food was a bit pricy for the portion size and taste.

Was quite excited to come here and try out the food. Had a very promising start. Great service. Not crowded. Ordered quite a lot of the pasta dishes to sample each. Have to say, for the most part, the food was just "ok". Some do the pasta dishes were a bit dried out, especially the orecchiette and broccoli rabe. The bolognese was not traditional and truly didn't have flavor. The fungi was salty. The dessert was also not great. The chocolate cake was a bit dry too. The gelato with espresso and whipped cream was very good. All in all, the experience was ok. Had a good time and, again, the service was very good. . Will not be in a rush to come back, however, as an over $200 bill for two people and just "ok" is not "ok".

I believe our servers name was Antonio. He was excellent! We had a few questions when ordering and he let us know that the mixed grill would take about 35-40 minutes. So we ordered that right away. There was four of us. We shared two pizzas. The one with fig and prosciutto was beyond delicious! Will definitely order again. I didn't try the other one, however it was pepperoni with hot honey, and our friends said it was very good. The mixed grilled was the perfect choice to sample a bunch of different meats. It was huge and a great value. There was lamb chops, sausage, steak, chicken thighs, and all cooked and seasoned perfectly. For sides we had the most amazing potatoes and brussels sprouts. We also shared eggplant meatballs, which were very tasty. Cocktails were to our liking, strong. My one friend who ordered wine. The manager Cathy came over to check in. She asked how the wine was and a moment later came back for my friend to try one she recommended. We were honestly blown away by the service. Cathy later came again to see how everything was and we happily told her excellent! I would honestly go back even if just for dessert. The fried little pieces of heaven in a bag with Nutella, caramel and chocolate sauce.... OMG! Oh course paired with an espresso martini. Overall wonderful experience and will certainly be back!

Good food but nothing special. Overpriced for small portions. Polenta fries were excellent.

Tried the Cherry Manhattan for the first time and it was spectacular. Ordered a bunch of appetizers to go with the drinks - and everything was delicious. The music and ambiance is perfect for a Friday night with friends. The staff is very friendly and attentive.

Lots of choices on the menu, great service, delicious food and drinks. I felt that the bruschetta was small (just one piece) and the ricotta should have come with more bread. The restaurant was very nice without being too fancy. I'd return for a date or dinner with family/friends.
The food was delicious and the chef is so incredibly kind. He came out to do the table side mozzarella and it was so much fun and we learned a lot. Restaurant has good vibes.

We visited the Garden City location on Saturday for my husband’s surprise 40th birthday party. Nicole, the general manager was amazing to work with. She was very caring and concerned when it came to a dairy allergy in the party making sure we had the ingredients for everything the child ate. She also gave us the private room since we were 25 including 7 young children which was perfect. Our waitress, Stephanie was fabulous as well. She made sure we had everything we needed the whole time and that everyone was happy.I highly recommend them!!Dietary restrictions: Allergies were handled with proper care and concern for sure!

We always have a great meal in this restaurant. The last visit we tried the lunch menu, excellent personal pizza, pepperoni was fantastic, the open lobster ravioli was to die for in a cream saffron sauce! Terrific wine to go with our meal!

This was our first time at this restaurant and this is also my first review I have ever done. I am writing this because I believe in supporting local businesses, and this restaurant is a hidden treasure. Our reservation was made for 7:30 on a Saturday night so the restaurant was very busy. We did have to wait about 15 minutes for our table, but the manager was very apologetic and thanked us for our patience when seating us. We were given a nice cozy booth in the corner, which my wife loved. Our server, Jessica, greeted us quickly and explained the menu and the smaller portions. We shared a couple of appetizers, the Chicken Milanese and the Bronzino, and it was all delicious. Over all, the setting, the service and the food was great. All points checked from start to finish

This place was amazing. I came here for a quick dinner with my husband and we were both very impressed with our meals. I went simple with a margherita pizza and truffle fries (it was a carb overload kind of night) and my husband got mussels if I remember correctly? The food was delicious and the service was too! We both agreed we would definitely go back next time we are in the area. (The restaurant is unassuming in a shopping center shared by many stores, but inside was beautiful!)
