Our table was a party of 6. Everyone seem to enjoy the food and we were able to hear each other with to much noise in the background. Although the food was enjoyable the restaurant failed to separate itself to justify the price.

8 of us for a birthday celebration. The service was marginal, as was the food. 6 out of 8 ppl. said their food was too salty and/or it seemed like it had been reheated. The server, although nice, was too busy, and we barely saw him. He forgot a few requests for drinks, as well as 2 special requests on food orders. For a dinner, that with tax and tip came to almost $500, we felt cheated.

I have not been here in several years and was looking forward to a yummy Italian meal. I was extremely disappointed. This was the OG for Italian fare for so long but it appears they have lost their mojo. Ordered the parm chicken and it was closer to burnt than crispy, I asked for Aglio e Olio pasta and the red pepper and seasonings were burnt!! I also expected a much better Italian wine selection but mostly below average brands you can find in the grocery store. Such a sad situation but many long-established restaurants fall off and fade away.

At The beginning the service was great, but then when our food was coming in, they took away our herbs and oil. Once I was done with my food, I asked if I may have it to go, the waiter was super nice, but I asked if she may put me some bread with the dip and she with no hesitation said yes, when I left, there was no bread nor the oil. If you were going to charge me extra, I did not mind paying. Don’t say you’re gonna do something and you don’t awesome. I did feel like we were being very pushed out as in hurry up and leave I will not be going to this location again.

1. Everything is overpriced when considering the portion size.2. I took the time to carefully select dishes that didn't contain cheese. So I ordered spaghetti and meatballs thinking that would be safe. I then discovered that there's cheese in the meatballs. This wasn't stated on the menu.3. I ordered the chicken soup which comes in two different sizes but I wasn't given the option to choose a size. I was brought the smaller size but would've chosen the larger if asked.4. The water tastes like tap.I didn't have a good dining experience at this location. I wouldn't eat here again. I don't recommend it.

Excellent menu! I haven’t tried anything I haven’t loved. I would make you aware that while the pizzas are good, the crust is not crunchy enough for me.All of the pastas are fresh and very good. Order off the menu if you want to. They will accommodate if possible. Great desserts, and wonderful bartenders!
