    It was an easy walk from the Martin Marietta Center on a Saturday early evening such that we didn’t repark our car. Our waitress was adorable and we had drinks straight away. The risotto balls were recommended by our daughter and they did not dissapoint. My husband and I both had pasta dishes. He loved his tagliatelle bolognese and I had the raviolis. They were both excellent. The little bread balls they serve beforehand are addicting. The cheesecake with a caramel drizzle was our finishing touch. Great dinner in a first time place for us.

    Had reservations and the place was empty except for a few tables. We got a horrible table right next to small group with kids. There were servers standing around, but the bartender was our server. It took her about 10 minutes to get our drink order. There were other tables that came in after us that were greeted and taken care of first and left before us. I ordered a hot toddy, which is on their mocktail menu, but requested a regular hot toddy with bourbon. I was charged for a cocktail as well as for bourbon separately. The charcuterie was lackluster, just dumped onto a board, and stacked with crackers and it looked like a lunchable for adults. The Caesar salad basically didn’t have any dressing on it at all, we had to ask for bread. Finally, spaghetti and meatballs were not good. The meatballs were very mushy with chunks of bread in them. Used to love this place, will not be going back.

    Great experience on 12/20/24, especially with our server DeAngelo. He was attentive and fun. Very disappointed that the legacy kale Caesar salad is no longer on the menu—bring it back, please! Also would love to see a return of the bucatini all'amatriciana.
