Abysmal service, rude staff, aggressive owner. Avoid! Poor service. Waited forever, staff dismissive and unprofessional. I was waiting and got frustrated. I said something to get to know when the order would be ready and the staff were brushing me off and saying just wait for like 20 minutes. The staff then started getting personal with me which made me even more angry. They were acting like I shouldnt expect to wait there my whole lifespan. Then the owner eventually says I should never come back. I said Maybe I won't and he said "praise God." That tipped me over the edge and i told him wow you sure have a lot to thank God for then. They then had an officer that was there say I was trespassing because I wouldn't stand in the spot they told me to, because they were trying to force me to since I was asking about the order. Apparently this officer is chilling here and not doing his job. Have fun waiting 30 minutes for your food if you go here. That officer will probably be sitting there with a donut in his hands waiting while not serving the public probably thinking he's better than all us normies. I mean even look at their response, they seem to think they are above others. They did not respect my time and blamed it all on me. This order was one item. The complete disrespect ? I'm unprofessional but I had to FIND someone in their store to even find out about the order I'm trying to deliver

Honestly one of the best family restaurants I've been to in a long time! The service was over the top, on point and friendly. Food was amazing! Felt like family when we walked in and had an amazing time. It's our new date night spot.

I waited for my order for more than an hour. The kitchen is very slow, so don't hope that you will be served here quickly.

Went there for the first time on a Monday night and had such a lovely time! The calamari was perfectly crispy, the soup was so delicious (I’m usually not a soup person), they had a special deal on a local bottle of wine, and the pasta and tiramisu were some of the best I’ve had. Mike was so nice to us too!

Came here for the Saturday night 80,'s 90,s and 2000 music party. The drinks were the worst I have ever had. My friend and I both ordered the blue Hawaiian drink that was on the menu. They didn't have the ingredients to make that. Okay, we order something else. My friend ordered another drink off the menu. Some rum drink, but the male bartender didn't even know how to make it. This is on their menu for pete sakes. The female bartender gets frustrated with him and tells him to look it up. I ordered a mudslide. Both our drinks came out as milkshakes. I just wanted alcohol not a milkshake. My friend took hers back and got something different. I didn't want to complain so drank mine. It was good if that's what you wanted. I tasted zero alcohol and paid 28 dollars for two milk shakes. My friends rum drink that's on the menu should definitely not been a milkshake. After an hour we went up and ordered two Long Island ice teas. The worst drink I have ever been served. Didn't even look like one. Tasted like all lemon juice. I wasn't going to drink it or complain. I just sat there and watched people dance. My friend took them both back up. The female bartender was rude according to my friend. Dumped a little out and added a little more coke/ Pepsi whatever they serve in it. It was still absolutely nasty. I don't recommend going to this place for drinks unless you're just getting wine, don't think they can mess that up. Also they were very understaffed for having a party. No table service. You had to stand in line at the bar to order anything. I was very disappointed in the whole experience. Won't dine there and won't be going to anymore parties. Seriously didn't enjoy it. Was there at 9pm, left by 11

Family owned business. The waiter really treated us well. I felt like I knew that he grew up in the restaurant business.

Our waitress was so sweet and friendly. I forgot to catch her name but she gave great service. I do think the prices are high for what you get, but I do love the sauce they put on the tortellini. If I could buy it by the gallon I would.

I really want to like this place but the food wasn’t … amazing. Though I have heard the pizza is real good. Looks like this place is half Italian place half bar music venue. I haven’t been here for music yet but I’m coming back !

The Sicilian sausage soup honestly tasted like chef boy r dee tomato sauce. The steak at $30 was such a tough cut and so much fat. The Lasagna was very plain. None of the kids finished their food nor did they eat the leftovers. For a $300 meal I definitely expected more. Sorry just being honest.

Today was my first and last time dining at this restaurant. I ordered chicken fettuccine, and it was very bland. I should’ve stuck with my first mind as an ordering light maybe mozzarella sticks or cheese bread. For $24 I definitely could’ve made this at home & it would have tasted a whole lot better.
