This used to be our favourite "go to" before covid but we no longer live in the area. 4 of us went and it was utterly horrible. The Focaccia wasn't focaccia, it was a garlic loaf with cheese, call it what it is. My wife had the Alfredo with chicken. It was a glue ball of pasta. After just spending 5 months in Louisiana I knew I was taking a chance with the jambalaya, it was terrible, another glue ball but the predominant flavour was hot sauce, certainly not how jambalaya is made down south. My son had the Gnocchi Gorgonzola, I tried it, all i could taste was the spinach, just a bland dish. The 4th dish was the Chicken Parm, a staple everywhere as it's simple to prepare. This was an utter failure, the pasta had no flavor and the chicken was bland and chewy. Not one of us ate more than 20% of our meal, I told the waiter it was terrible and not the standard we're used to there. No need for to go boxes, I got a weird look from him and a bill for $180.

Service is always friendly. Love their coffee. Great spot to share a dessert or meal. Love that they serve mineral water. Meatballs are amazing!

Ordered for pick up. Timely pick up.The food, not so great. ☹️Eggplant Parm was dry and thin and caked onto the takeout container, grilled sandwich was thin and Lemoncello Spag was dry and tasteless. And the ' garlic bread' ....not worth including.For the price, very disappointing. ?Won't be doing that again!

We ordered one glass of wine each; it was good. For lunch we both ordered Spaghetti Limoncello. The pasta was not cooked enough and the sauce was bitter and horrible. The serving size was very small.

We celebrated our 7 year anniversary there and the food and service was absolutely amazing!!! Thank you to the staff who made our night that much more special! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone ❤️

First time there for both of us. A great atmosphere, great service, and the food was fantastic. We both had omelets, and they were huge, fluffy, and delicious.

Most recently here for a Bridal Shower in their rental hall in the basement. Great space for the event. Food was tasty as I knew it would be, as I've been here for regular dining multiple times over the years. For regular dining, I've always had positive experiences all around.

If I could rate 0 stars I would. Horrible service, food wasn't good. Clearly understaffed. Very catty as well can hear staff talking about each other. I do not recommend at any point, many other places along that street that would be more appreciative of the business you are giving. 0/5. Will continue to leave bad reviews, as this is the worst establishment I've ever encountered.

This review is strictly for the Breakfast pizza.It sounded really tasty on the menu, all the components were there.It's really meant for 2 judging by the size. It looks beautiful, but for some reason I found it really bland.I brought the leftovers home.I reheated stovetop in a frypan, I put a scattered tbsp of leftover tomato sauce and some peperoncino on a couple of slices, and it was great!Service was excellent and this is the only disappointing dish I have ever had from Limoncello. Maybe my tastebuds weren't working, I don't know.

Food was fine. Sandwich was kind of cold even though it was literally just grilled vegetables. Went with a group of 8 people so gratuity was automatically applied but we were still prompted to tip. Many people in the group didn't realize tip was already included and tipped again. They basically got a double tip for mediocre Italian food.

Paid $15.95 for a grilled eggplant sandwich. Two thin slices of eggplant, very little mozzarella, tomato sauce and a lot of white bun. We were given 15% off but the sandwich wasn't worth $5.Corn chowder soup was okay, $10.95.
