    Place was lovely. Very crowded. If we sat down at the table for two found out that it was and kept moving as we ate, could not be fixed so was a bit uncomfortable table was near a door and people kept going outside and it was cold. Service OK to start but then it was like we were almost forgotten. Appetizers brought out in a timely fashion. Dinner brought out before we finished appetizers so it was taken back then it was brought out again obviously reheated and we still hadn’t finished appetizers for the most part. Asked for cheese and it was brought until I almost finished my pasta dish. The Italian cheesecake which is supposed to be creamy was a bit dry and had a refrigerator taste so I left a good portion of it. From the reviews I read, I thought it would be excellent, but it was not. It was fair at best. The attraction to it was that it was so close to the theater . Would not run back!

    Wonderful lunch with my friend here. Not rushed at all. Great service. Delicious food! Salads, pasta, seafood and wine. Decorated for Christmas in the first floor dining room across from smaller bar. Delightful ambiance! Highly recommend!

    Great meal. The owner, Chris, seated us at a cozy private table and was very gracious. The food and service were outstanding. The only thing that was a bit disappointing was we wanted to go back to the bar to have dessert and an after dinner drink, but the music was so loud we left. We'll be back for sure.

    My $48 dish of seafood over linguine tasted super fishy. My husband didn’t like the sauce on his chicken Parm. It took us over two hours to complete dinner and we didn’t even order appetizers.
