It was Valentine’s Day so the place was busy. The food was awesome. Great fried calamari, the tagliolini zuppa di mare to die for with those fresh handmade noodles, veal Francese and Veal Parmesan, we’re so good. Desert was a strawberry pana cotta. The server took 20 minutes to even approach us about drinks or appetizers. He was sure handed but not attentive. Had to be prompted and asked. But, I understand. It was a holiday. His methods remain unchanged even after the room cleared out. I’ll go back but request a different server next time. Deliciously wonderful experience!

Bad mussels. Awful service. The owner is very unpleasant and unhelpful. We didn’t have the server (the owner) check on us for over an hour. Spoiled mussels have made us sick. I hope they address this.
