Great service, friendly crew. Salad with calamari, goat cheese and balsamic reduction was excellent. Our son ordered the calamari with jalapeño, he said it was the best he has ever had. My husband had a NY strip cooked to his asking, with mashed potatoes and veg. He loved it, very satisfying and loved the old fashioned as well. If we are ever in the neighborhood we will stop in.
The manager at this restaurant is rude and has no manors when dealing with customers that the staff made wait for over 2 hours. Very disrespectful towards families when they ask for compensation for waiting prolonged periods of time. It’s understood that the food here is good but the service is extremely poor from the management side of the restaurant.

This place is incredible the atmosphere is very classy. Service was great from the time we walked thru the door. Joshua our server was excellent he gave us excellent suggestions to choose from of the specials and menu. The Crabcake special and fried mozzarella over arugula almost made me slap my fiancé it was amazing. We also had the lamb chops with red wine sauce over garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach it was the best I have had in a very long time. Ohhh and the bread is divine we had two baskets of bread alone. This place is by far the best I have been to in Stafford quality food I don’t give 5 star rating but this place is in all manners is 5 star

My wife and I ate lunch there today. This place was fantastic! First, the service was top notch. We started with Calamari and I also had the Linguine Mare, with Calamari, mussels, scallops, shrimp, white wine sauce. My wife had the Pansotti Raviolifilled with fresh jumbo lump crab meat, squid ink infused, vodka cream sauce. Both of our dishes were excellent! The prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was great. I highly recommend this place. We will be back.

Robiolina, how is your food so delicious yet service be so underwhelming? I want to give you all such a higher rating. However, your service has really made a negative impression.As a former server, it is crucial to at least check in and greet the customers within the first 2-5 minutes of being seated. It took over 10 minutes for our server to greet us. The runners that are also working diligently however seemed to miss that my table has still not been served water at the very least. After 10-15 minutes our sever finally greeted us. Another 5-10 minutes went by for us to finally place our orders and get the menus we’ve been staring at for quite some time off our table. We placed our order and was then served the complimentary bread/olive oil.The food is their ONLY saving grace. The bread was amazing, warm and pillowy while also being a perfect sponge for the oil to carry its tasteful notes. Then came our fried calamari and jalapeños which was the absolute highlight of our food order. Each bite was flavorful, it had such a perfectly salty crisp while being juicy and delicious inside. Each piece of calamari and jalapeño was fried perfectly.Understandably, being a Saturday evening the restaurant will be quite busy. Our main dishes came out and I would have to say. Flavor wise was a 10/10. However I was underwhelmed by the portion size. The piece of ribeye I was given looked to be about a 2cm thin sliver. The mashed potatoes that were also plated looked to be about severed with the corner of a tablespoon. I understand if the goal of this dish was to be about quality over quantity. However, for around $30+ other restaurants have at least ribeye dishes with 1/2in - 1in thickness of steak minimum. And at least a spoonful if not more of mash. Again flavor was 10/10. But the quantity/portion size and quality of service was very lackluster.

If you want real Italian, this is your place. While celebrating our anniversary, my wife and I stuffed our face. The atmosphere superb, waitstaff were great. The service I could say was first, not second rate.

Delicious cocktails, excellent service. Joshua and Alex were so much fun, loved their hospitality, best customer service I’ve had in a while. Will be back to try their brunch on Sunday!

Service was fast and staff were efficient and polite. You feel welcome from the beginning.However, from their website, pictures and statements there, you expect an upscale restaurant. This is not. The location, the infrastructure, the type of tables and chairs, the lack of tablecloth, they all say this is more like a regular restaurant, with upscale prices.The food was fine but nothing spectacular.At around seventy dollars per person for a dish, dessert and a drink, I think it's too much given the above circumstances.It's not a bad place. Instead, it's the misleading website and the wrong prices why I don't recommend it.Otherwise, it's a clean place with nice staff.
