Ordered the chicken parm. Over coked by a lot. The chicken was dry and tough as leather. So the food i had was not good. Then the bartender had her kid there. At first he was just being a bored kid but then he started bothering costomers at the bar. You could do better in the area.
Only place open till late and is a student hangout... in case you are wondering why the high ratings though the food is just about okay.
During regular hours, pretty much every other place next to it serves better food.
I had a Flatbread. The crust is amazing. I will return.
The music was way too loud in the back area. We were yelling to hear each other. The live music was actually quieter. Everything else was great!
Food was fantastic. Atmosphere definitely more of a bar vibe. Which is definitely fine, very, very loud tvs from where I was sitting, but there was other dining rooms so couldn't tell from there. Not the vibe i was expecting from what I was told but that's ok. Service was definitely lacking. I'm a very easy person, especially when I am traveling because I am just a single person at that point. Apparently, because I was a single person dining that meant I didn't need any service. I waited about fifteen to twenty minutes for someone to come over and take my order which ensed up being the server that sat me - ok cool- I got my food really fast from same server - which was good..... But then I never saw my server again. Even when I asked for her to pay my bill. The server from the table next to mine ended up grabbing my empty plate, and I was like woo! Teamwork! Cept then I waited about another fifteen twenty minutes only to have the server from the other table walk by to his table. I hated to do it but I called him over and asked if he could grab my server for me.. he asked if it was for my bill and i said yes, and he said he would get my bill. Lo and behold the bartender ended up giving me my bill. At that point I didnt know who was my server was and felt like I was just a nuisance because I was a single person. And bevause I didn't know who the heck qould end up getting my tip, I left it blank which I fricken hated to do. If I could just have the option to give the tip to the person who cooked my food that would have been better.
Okay food, worlds thinnest check breasts. Good alfredo sauce, slow service.

Just left work down the street where I'm the General Manager...wanted a burger more than life rn. Walked in with a friend, we sat at the end of the bar where the girl was handing off a cocktail and speaking about the private bday party in the back. She never looked at us or acknowledged our humanity. Then we waited patiently as she did a few other things for other guests sitting at the bar, we are patient as we do this work on the daily. THEN a party of 4 walks in and goes to the nearest booth, she immediately acknowledges them and tells them she will be right over with water and menus which we proceed to watch her do.
Nope. Done. We left. She never acknowledged us nor did she follow bar etiquette. It was a learning lesson tho bc I told the gentleman I was with, who also works for me...that if he ever did that he would be fired on the spot. I realize we work in fine dining but damn. I've also worked in dive bars and know the newest guest gets served.
She lost out on AT LEAST a $40 tip as we all AT LEAST leave a 20 plus future business. Fun times.
Walked in and made eye contact with the bartender. It was a slow Tuesday night at about 9, and got completely ignored. She greeted a table as soon as the walked in after standing next to us and ignoring us for 5 minutes. Very disappointed in the way we were treated. We’ve been multiple times, and service just seems to be going downhill

We happened into TOLI because we went to Little Italy on a Saturday night without a reservation. This was our first mistake. Our second mistake was staying seated at our table even though the aromas in the room were of a potent cleaning agent instead of food. If you’re just up for a bar with TVs playing sports, okay. But in Little Italy? No. We were served cafeteria grade food at restaurant grade prices. Service was fine, tho on the slow side. If you’re out for a nice Italian meal, this is not the place.

Ordered drinks at the bar while waiting for our table. The bartender/manager seemed annoyed. After being seated at our table, my dad waited 45 minutes for his soup. They served us flat, awful tasting Guiness. The rest of our appetizers took over an hour. When I complained to the manager, he made excuses of being busy and short staffed but there was no apology. I could go on and on but it completely ruined our evening.
TOLI is always a hit for us. Amazing food and good drinks in an awesome atmosphere, Little Italy!
