It’s the same menu and specials every time or every time we’ve been there. I got the meatballs that are normally good. Unfortunately this time they were small in size and so much garlic I couldn’t eat them. Also had the short ribs that were really dry! My husband had the black bass special and he was not impressed at all. Although he did enjoy the eggplant appetizer. Service was ok not great. Idk… maybe an off day??

As every other review states, food is half decent, but the food isn’t good enough for how long it takes for the food to come out. Atmosphere is great but again, not good enough to put weight the 2-3 hours you have to be here to have a simple meal. Really wouldn’t go here if I had other options. Good food. Staff is arrogant and rude.

My husband and I had a lovely dinner this evening for my husband’s 66th birthday. We really had a nice evening out and a delicious meal. The bread was fresh and warm. Each course was beautifully prepared and savory. The gnocchi texture was perfect.. my husband looovvveedd his salmon! The waiter was awesome, and surprised him with an amazing chocolate dessert lit by a candle that was out of this world. We loved the food, and definitely will be coming back!

Not bad, but no compelling reason to try this place again any time soon.
Large, modern dining room and outdoor seating. Plenty of room and high ceilings. Most comfortable chairs. Bread was fresh and warm, but not abundant and not refilled; really just enough for one person. Bread is better than Paradiso, but not as good as La Voglia. The olive oil served with the bread was excellent – strong flavored, the best I’ve had at any Bucks county Italian restaurant. Burrata and heirloom tomato appetizer was pretty good, as was the Mesclun salad, though the latter maybe could have used more salt.
We ordered bucatini as our pasta course. Menu says “Tomato, Guanciale, Herbs, Sheep Milk Cheese”. What we received was not what I expected from the description. It was pasta with a very rich and delicious, though somewhat oily tomato based sauce. Sadly, the pasta was very overcooked. The dish was topped with a nice large strip of fried pork that I would have guessed was pork belly rather than guanciale, though it was tasty. I would have loved some more bread for the leftover sauce, but our empty bread basket was not refilled.
Main courses were branzino over escarole, and chicken with mashed potatoes. Portions are small enough to justify getting a pasta dish before the main dish. Both dishes were fine, but not memorable. The branzino would have benefitted from a larger portion of escarole.
Service is slow. Waitstaff was professional, if not particularly enthusiastic and friendly. Bottleneck appears to be the kitchen. We did not order dessert because we had already been there over 90 minutes by the time our dinner was complete.

Staff is friendly however food takes forever to come out of the kitchen. Don't expect your foods table to be delivered all at one time. Meat dishes and pizzas come out before pasta dishes. Food is great is you don't mind waiting a long time for it.

This place looks pretty but is just ok. I ordered the rigatoni which was described as being served with spicy sausage and broccoli rabe. I was expecting more of a red sauce, but it arrived just swimming in oil. I could only eat a few bites. Even the bartender recognized that it didn't look right (She was great, by the way. Took it off the bill and gave me a free glass of wine). The spicy sausage was nothing special. My husband ordered bucatini, which was presented pretty unattractively with a slice of guanciale just laying across the top. If you are an Italian restaurant with only 4 pasta dishes on your menu, they should all be amazing; no excuses. These were mediocre at best. They also took forever to come out from the kitchen, and we were there at a time when the restaurant was nowhere close to full. Another note; we ordered bread...the dipping oil was really delicious but you only got 3 small slices of bread and a few very thin crackers. Anyway- nice bartenders, good drinks, but no need to repeat a visit here.

Great place and I actually ate an entire plate for once! Good vibe for graduation parties, etc. The creme brulee is PERFRCT.
Disappointed! Atmosphere was very clean but somewhat sterile(not cozy) , very busy- took over 3 hours , server was polite but rushed and distracted, I had to ask for bread on the table . food was not great- especially for the price. Pork chop was very thin , had no flavor . octopus appetizer was in a red sauce not very good.. Burger and Ribs(small portion) were just okay, Arugula salad was the best thing I ate on the menu. We really expected a better experience for such a pricey place. Because both the food and service for a poor, we will not go back.
Parking: There is a parking lot but because it is in a strip mall area- parking on a Friday night is hard.

It was bustling with noise but that's their ambience. The servers were pretty attentive and we are good tippers, so never had issues. Food was clean for gluten free options. SERVERS GET 10 STARS from me as they have a difficult job. I unknowingly ordered a Italian dish and found pork in it and religiously it was difficult for me as I found that this was a non kosher restaurant. So religious people wanting a kosher kitchen may want to reconsider.

Our first time there! We sat at the bar on a Saturday night! The place was superpacked! Christian, our bartender was the best! The best! So attentive and service was on point! And even though it was extremely busy he still found time to chat up these new customers! We'll be back soon!

Cool atmosphere and great menu. We were seated in the back party room which is why I think our service was so incredibly slow. We weren't in a hurry but 2.25 hours is a looooong dinner. Place wasn't even full so there is no excuse for the slow service. Octopus was delicious and so was the striped bass with really good crispy skin. And the garlic infused olive oil that finally came out with our bread was really really good. I had the Bucks County Mule which was also good and my partner had the Blueberry Crisp for dessert which he very quicky devoured. They were pretty good with my dairy allergy but my sorbet came out with a biscotti that I'm sure wasnt dairy free. We'll be back and give them another try.
