The lasagna was advertised with bechamel sauce but none was to be found in my serving - only cold congealed blocks of cheese. Cold cold cold lasagna. The chicken piccata was overly salted. What an awful meal. Left there and had to stop on the way home to eat as I was starving

We sit on the beautiful, quiet, climate-contolled patio. We love all the waiters, but Rick is our favorite. My recent go-to menu items are the arugula salad and the lasagna (or Summer Corn Agnolotti in the summer). I'm hoping that they bring back Butternut Squash or Acorn Squash Agnolotti...YUM!

It was fairly empty at the time. One of the 2 women bartenders gave us a menu. We asked for a minute to decide. Fast forward 10 to 15 minutes the bartender failed to come back to us. Instead she stood in the corner talking to the other bartender and waiting on other customers who came in after us. We attempted to get her attention but were ignored. She finally took our order. Not a good start to an otherwise wonderful dinner. Shout out to our outstanding waitress, Aspen, she was amazing! Made our night much better.
