Our server was great but did take a while to come back and get our order. I was brought the wrong entree but they gave us another appetizer while we waited for my food to come. It came out fairly quickly after that. The staff was friendly and checked on us. We were there to try the restaurant for restaurant week.

The arugula salad with artichokes was very good and perfectly dressed with a light lemony dressing. Rigatoni with sausage also delicious. Our server was very pleasant and helpful but not intrusive. Another great dining experience!

The food was delicious and 5 star. HOWEVER, the service was laughable at best. It took the waiter over 30 minutes to take our order and the restaurant was empty. Granted we have a large group of 7 people, but each process took way longer than it should and maybe this is the "true Italian" vibe of lunches. Other staffs were doing other things or chitchatting but no one offered to help. Thank goodness we were not in a rush that day, or I would be really upset about it....
