To go orders are significantly smaller than what you get in the restaurant. Feels like I am being cheated out of my money.

I had dinner there last night, food and service was okay and I would recommended the place if not for what had happened later after I saw the bill. I gave 15% of tips and leave a whole number as total amount but only to find that the restaurant over charged me on tips and changed it to a number with decimal points. It's not the amount that matters but the fact that they are changing what customers have put down. Be careful with your bills!

Always an excellent dining experience. The 3 of us shared a bottle of chanti, salads are always excellent; the special seafood linguine was amazing, as were the lobster ravioli. Tiramisu a must have. Save room!
We were there for my Mother's birthday and everything was great! The food was excellent and the service, we had one couple that was almost an hour late and we were never made to feel uncomfortable. Other guests were all greeted warmly by the host (owner?) and it seemed that she knew and remembered everyone. Those she didn't know she tried to make feel like old friends. I wouldn't be able to afford frequent dinners here but if I could I would want to make it at least once a week. Highly recommend!Parking: The street parking was plentiful enough but the city has recently restricted it to 2 hours until 8 PM. Businesses on the block are trying to get this changed back to 5 PM, which would be helpful.
Overpriced, drab decor, needs an overhaul. Don't get me wrong, the food is very good, but you have to bring more than that when you're charging $24 for a plate of gnocchi. This place is what it was like to get Italian food in the 80's. The server was a bit stiff and unwelcoming. It was not a fun experience at all. It felt very stuffy.

We had a lovely tasty Italian meal as a large party. The wait staff handled our group of 9 with skill, ease, and grace and humor. I had ravioli with sun dried tomatoes (vegetarian) and their special pink sauce. I polished it off. Yum! Ps. My friend had gluten free pork.

Decent food, good atmosphere. Waitress was rude about demanding the tip. I left a tip that she felt was low. She came to me aggressively asking about the tip “is this what you are leaving for me”. To avoid the conflict at the moment, I increased the tip, but I am never coming back here again and advising my network and neighbors to stay away from this place. Good luck to the owners. You need to provide basic behavioral training to your waiters.
Delicious food. Had the chicken gorgonzola and my friend had the salmon. We'll prepared, generous portions and very friendly staff. A bit crowded as it is a small place, but it is a very nice restaurant.
I reached there at 8:45 pm (I had made a call earlier to confirm when they could take us in) I was taken-in after roughly 15 minutes and that’s when the front desk attendant said, “Did I tell you we have a Valentine’s day special menu?”. When I saw the menu, there was just one vegetarian option (I am a vegetarian). Menu cost per person? I think 59$. I wasted my time driving there and waiting in line. It was 9 pm and most of the restaurants were closing by that time. (Being a vegetarian, it gets tough to find restaurants in the last hour). I decided to leave. I think, if you have special menu you should inform people right away.

An unpleasant experience because of the waiter serving our table. Food was good but the male waiter was so rude, didn’t even look at me and asked me to turn up my voice unfriendly.

Greatest Italian on the Eastside by far. Staff are so inviting and will remember you after your first visit. Get the tomato soup .. I don’t know what’s in it, but it’s unreal - I don’t even normally like tomato soup, but wow. Add a montepulciano and a post-dinner espresso/tiramisu and you’re in for a good night.

Its our first time at the The Sages. We were seated within 10 minutes. We ordered Smoke Salman pasta, Shrimp Scampi, Linguini Rustica and Wife's favorite pasta. All the mains are fantastic. Food was so tasty. We had to order Tiramisu and Creme Brulee. We enjoyed our food so much we will be back
