We've wanted to try this restaurant for some time. Last night we were in town, so we had our chance. There were no kids, and the atmosphere was quiet, which made for a nice date. The menu offered both traditional and unique selections. There was also a dedicated gluten-free menu with a substantial list of choices. We tried a couple of reds by the glass and were happy with their recommendations. If this all sounds like the experience you want, definitely give Sages a try.

This restaurant used to be one of my favorite Italian spots, and I still remember having a truly fabulous date here about three years ago. The food, the ambiance, and the cozy charm left such a lasting impression that I was genuinely excited to return last night with a close friend.
We were really looking forward to a warm, relaxed evening of good conversation and comforting Italian food. The cozy dining atmosphere is still lovely, and we were seated in a corner which gave us a sense of privacy and intimacy — something we actually appreciated. We ordered a glass of wine, an appetizer, and two pasta dishes, all of which were delicious and reminded me of why I once loved this place so much.
Unfortunately, the experience was significantly affected by the service. My friend and I hadn’t seen each other in months and were deeply engaged in catching up. I tend to eat slower, enjoying my food and the moment, and we still had half a glass of wine left when the waiter began repeatedly asking if we wanted our food boxed up. This happened around six different times, which made us feel rushed and unwelcome, as if we were being pushed out instead of invited to enjoy our evening.
We were clearly still present, still sipping our wine, and even intending to order more, but the constant interruptions broke the flow of our conversation and shifted the energy of what was meant to be a cozy, relaxing night.
It’s honestly really sad to say that after this experience, I don’t think I would return, especially when this restaurant is so conveniently located just a block away from my friend’s home. I truly wanted this to be a nostalgic and heartwarming return, and while the food and atmosphere still hold their charm, the service made it feel anything but welcoming.
I sincerely hope this was just an off night, because this place has so much potential and such a beautiful ambiance that deserves to be enjoyed without feeling rushed out the door.

I've never been to a place more deserving of a 1 star review! Our weiter YELLED AT MY FRIENDS AND I ON OUT PROM NIGHT, for not spending enough money. I don't think I've ever had a restaurant intentionally treat their customers so horribly. I am HAPPY to tell anyone I know never to eat here. What a horrible place to eat.

The food was very average — the pasta didn’t have much taste, and the main salad was quite small. The waiter seemed unfriendly and kept asking if we had finished so he could take the plates away. Overall, not a pleasant experience. I wouldn’t go there again.

Really quaint spot with a very family friendly vibe. We got the lobster ravioli and the gnocchi and we all enjoyed our dishes. Service was fast and attentive.

Warm and welcoming place ! We ordered the penne arrebbiata, linguine rustica and the grilled garlic prawns. The pasta items were yummy but I was disappointed with the grilled garlic prawns. They were not at all grilled and seemed like they were just boiled and dipped in butter.

Their seafood platter was unforgettable. Fresh and perfectly seasoned!
Nice cozy venue with very tasty Italian cuisine (including gluten free options) with excellent service. I had the lobster ravioli and my wife had the salmon speciality and we both enjoyed the entrees. The chocolate decadence dessert is wonderful as is the brownie with ice cream.

Very tasty, just a little pricey. Smaller portions. Would go back again if it was priced a little more reasonably.

Food had a very tasty sauce, however the mashed potatoes tasted like instant with the same texture. Noise level made it hard to hear the waiter, the waiter was excellent, the chicken was a little dry. The carrots were very good soaked in the sauce.

This place is hands down amazing! The pasta was cooked to absolute perfection, so flavorful and just the right texture. I also ordered a Caesar salad and it was phenomenal. The tomato soup was just delicious as-well. Even the clams were incredible.
The desserts are also to die for, especially the tiramisu! Everything was the right amount of sweetness not too sweet which is amazing!
The owner is such a sweetheart and the servers are equally as kind, especially the lady who helped us. Our busser was also so sweet, constantly making sure our water was filled and our table was spotless.
One little touch I absolutely love is that they wrap your leftovers for you, it’s such a thoughtful detail. The atmosphere is so cozy and intimate, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal.
If you’re in the area this is truly the best Italian food you’ll ever have around here. I’m already thinking about my next visit!
