The hype created by long wait and not getting the reservation far exceeded all the restaurant had to offer. Given its hard to survive in this difficult industry - there are basic things that can improve on - staff in front need to be more respectful. Giving snobby attitude is not the way to welcome a guest. When brought to manager attention - he could have been more professional.

Food was okay. Presentation of food was average. We enjoyed artichoke appetizer and salad. The lobster pasta was good but again nothing that made me want to come back. Lots of butter in my pasta. The waitress was nice and courteous. The restaurant has good ambience but some seatings are not ideal.

Maybe will give it another try but 1st impression left me with little desire to return.

We took our son and his girlfriend there last night for his birthday. No doubt the place has a very cool atmosphere and a very comfortable feel. That’s where it ends. Frito Misto was disappointing to say the least. It was more artichoke and pesto than it was calamari. We passed on the salmon since it has no place on Frito Misto anywhere on this planet. The cold antipasto was about what you would expect to see at a mediocre Italian restaurant. I had the chicken parm for dinner as nothing else sparked my interest. It was pounded so thin I may as well have been eating cardboard with sauce. My wife had veal Milanese. It was a giant slab of veal of poor quality with the texture of shoe leather. It literally took up the whole plate. It was definitely a lower quality cut of veal. My son had the cacio de pepe which was flavorful but overcooked. Dessert was unimpressive. The food does not equal the hype. It’s a great place to hang out but don’t expect a great meal especially if you know anything about how quality food should taste.

Unfortunately, the waitress accidentally dropped my silverware into my laptop, which also caused some tomato sauce to splatter on my white sweater. Naturally, I was a bit frustrated, but the restaurant staff really went above and beyond to make things right. One of the managers rushed over to apologize, offering to treat the stain and even offered to cover my dry cleaning costs. To top it off, after dinner, they brought out multiple desserts on the house as a way of compensating for the mishap. While mistakes can happen, what impressed me most was how the restaurant took accountability...overall experience ended on a sweet note - pun intended.

I had a great dinner. The food is definitely prepared with care, and it shows. The red sauce is really good and fresh. You can taste the high-quality olive oil used in their dishes. I think the bread is fantastic and worth $10. It tasted like it was made fresh. Just the right amount of butter and salt.

I had chicken parm. Perfectly crispy with thin slice mozzarella. It was great!

The chicken picatta had just the right amount of lemon zest. Sometimes, this dish can be overpowered by lemon. That is not the case here. Balanced is the best way to describe it!

I was impressed. Overall, the bill was reasonable given the high quality of their food. There are other restaurants that are considerably more expensive and don't make food this good.

Highly recommend! Just expect to wait for a reservation.

Made reservations for Valentines Day. I had to give my credit card information because a fee is charged if you're a no show. They have valet parking. We had early lunch reservations, so it was quiet, but it filled up very quickly. The area where we were seated was very white and clean. I couldn't help but feel like I was eating in a cafeteria. There are areas of the restaurant that looked a bit nicer and there is a pretty outdoor area for dining when the weather is nicer. We had a choice of sparkling water or tap. No mention of a fee but usually for sparkling there is, and it was on our bill. Our server took our drink order and then was switched with someone else. It was done seamlessly, and the new server was very attentive. Ordered baked clams, four to an order, for apps. My entree was four huge shrimp with sauteed spinach. My husband had pasta, cacio e pepe and a side of broccolini. Everything was seasoned very well and delicious. Priced a bit high, I'm not sure if we'll be going back there soon but The Farm Italy in Huntington should be visited at least once.

I went on Valentine’s Day and typically restaurants quality isn’t as good when it’s busy, but this restaurant dishes out fantastic food. We got the filet mignon and it was fantastic, cooked perfect. The branzino came in a delicious , light and tasty sauce. I would come back time and time again

Been wanting to try this place for almost 2 years but didn't have great luck with walk-in. Finally booked a reservation and left disappointed.

Pros - It's a pretentious, expensive place where you'll have to drop $150 per person to drink and eat properly. This isn't necessarily a bad thing and it was what I was looking for. The food was ok and the drinks were good. I'd say the food is above average for general restaurants but just about average for a restaurant at this price point. Our server was generally good and offered good recommendations.

Cons - The two girls greeting people as they walk in didn't smile or offer us to check out coats. Weird since we had massive winter coats and no where to put them at our seats. My wife had to get up and find coat check herself.

Even though we had a reservation, we were seated by the kitchen entrance and every 2 minutes we would hear someone say "corner". Very annoying.

Ordered a salad with olives in it and found 2 pits while chewing. Luckily didn't chip a tooth.

At the end of the night we ordered a Tiramisu but the server recommended a chocolate cake instead. We went with her recommendation. The server brought out the chocolate and the Tiramisu with a candle on it since it was my wife's bday. The server even said she "got us the tiramisu anyway". All was well but then I get the check and was charged for the tiramisu. I wasn't going to make a fuss over $10 and figured I would leave a review.

Overall, probably not coming back. Would I recommend it? Feels like a hit or miss type of place and there are other expensive, pretentious places and may try harder.
