We had a group of 9. The food was great but two people got different food than they ordered and most of the food was Luke warm when served. I think this is more about the server than the restaurant. They did give us a credit for 1/3 of the price to use for future dining which we will definitely use! On the whole it is a great restaurant with great food!

Our Waitress was so rushed that she was literally speed walking past all the tables in her section, only stopping for a second. Our food took an unusual amount time to come out. I felt like at their pricepoint, there should have been free bread for the table. Instead it was $8 for garlic bread that was not very good. When it was time to get the check, the waitress came speed walking past, quickly put the check on the table, and then speed walked past. It was honestly kind of comical, felt like something out of SNL. But at the price we payed, it was really bad service, will not be returning.

We went here with 6 people the night before the Portland Marathon. Our intentions were to carb load. Food took a long time. So long our server brought out free bread. When the food did finally arrive it was delicious but portions were small. Would not recommend for a pre-race dinner.

Food was excellent, service was a bit slow when we had cards on the table and were ready to settle the bill.

We were lucky enough to grab an early table on a Monday and very happy with our experience. Our server suggested a few dishes which did not disappoint. The bolognese was on point. Being from out of town, we won't get a chance to come back soon, but I'd recommend it to whomever is looking for some solid Italian cuisine.

The overall experience was good. The food was delicious! For somebody who's gluten-free and loves Italian food this is a great place to go. because they're not a lot of options when it comes to Italian . The drinks were really good too. Our server was an absolute delight! I would go there again. ïżŒïżŒïżŒ

Adorable Italian place. We came here for their happy hour and enjoyed the drinks and the smaller plates.

First of all when you have a server, that’s sad your food will come out my waiter wouldn’t take one thing off my table dishes are piled high, not a smile on his face. I ordered the soup. it was ice cold. I order my entrĂ©e lasagna that looks like it was seven days old. When the manager came over to me she basically explained to me. It’s OK that the food that she premade is seven days old and it’s OK to serve that the customers they don’t give you fresh quality food. It wasn’t packed in the restaurant they wouldn’t make it right take nothing off the bill wouldn’t even take a plate off of my table. It was horrible service The food was horrible. It was a disgrace. I might as well went to Olive Garden and it would’ve been fresh. I don’t know what happened to this place but it’s basically really went downhill they want to save a dollar and you’re eating pasta. You should have it fresh and take pride into this restaurant that you want me to come back here. I wanna come back here ever again. Do you guys self a favor and go to Olive Garden horrible how the manager situation she’s very unprofessional and she was not expecting anybody to see everybody overlook everything all day

My friend and I stopped in to try it out, we sat at the bar where we were greeted by a sever, I believe her name was Erica. She was super friendly and recommended the primavera & Caesar salad. Then I asked her to surprise me with a cocktail using vodka. She concocted something with vodka, limoncello & house made hibiscus syrup... incredibly refreshing. Food came out and was scrumptious and the Hostess, I think she was the GM personally greeted us and asked us how everything tasted. Will definitely be returning. Especially on a Monday or Tuesday when the sever is working!
10/10 highly recommend! If you go with one or 2 people sit at the bar... the sever and Hostess will definitely make you feel right at home.

The sauce was too salty, I tried the lasagna and I felt like it wasn’t fresh made.
The kid’s Spaghetti & meatball was also salty( same Marinara sauce )

I don't know what is wrong with the staff. From beginning to the end I witnessed the employees who don't want to work there. The host was surly and even seems angry. When it comes to service side,it was even worse experience. It took more than 10 minutes to be able to order the food. And waited around 25 minutes for the order. The waitress was again surly and no apologies for the late order. Overall it was an awful experience. I will never go again.The food wasn't great either

Very poor experience. The waitress didn't get our orders wrong, but she was “lost” all the time with the service of other tables. I asked for a beer and after a while she came with half a glass saying that they were out and they wouldn't charge, but in the end they did charge. Food was not great either..

LOUD.
Holy mother of God this restaurant was probably the loudest I've ever been to. The waitress actually had to shout when speaking to us, and I couldn't hear what my family was saying right across the table from me if I didn't watch their lips as they spoke. They have ZERO acoustic anything in there. All hard surfaces. No attempt at all to mitigate the noise. My husband actually ran out to CVS after we ordered our food to get ear plugs for him and my daughter.
One of the reasons we went there was because they had a kids menu which is usually safe for my neurodivergent kid. She ordered spaghetti & meatball but the meatball was spicy?? I tried it and it was actually quite spicy. I asked the waitress if it was supposed to be on the kids menu and she sheepishly said yes. She was very nice about it and had it taken off our bill even though we didn't ask, and fortunately my daughter was able to eat some of my husband's chicken parm but it was so weird they made a meatball on the kids menu super spicy.
So atmosphere: horrible.
Service: A
Food besides the weirdly spicy kids' meatball: B (pasta slightly overcooked).
I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
