   Very disappointing experience. We had high expectations based on previous visits to many other restaurants on 5th Avenue, but unfortunately, this restaurant did not meet those standards. The music was quite loud, making it difficult to hear the server or have conversations at our table. We found the food to be below expectations, and our server seemed rushed and rude. They didn’t return to check on us or suggest refills, dessert, or coffee. The restaurant was empty, which we should have seen as a reason to go elsewhere on a busy night downtown. Based on the experience with service, ambiance, and quality of the food - we would recommend looking into other dining options in the area.

   The food was pretty good, but wasn’t as high quality as I thought it should be for the price. However, our service was horrible. Our waitress rarely came over, kept our cash change for herself without giving it back. The employees were wearing leggings and sweatpants and for a restaurant that is promoted as high quality italian, it’s not a good look on the restaurant and employees when you’re dressed like that. The overall experience was simply OK, probably won’t go back though.

   Best gluten free pasta ever. Learned it was home-made.

   Slow service. Also, rest rooms unusable. Even at half price was no bargain.

   Sadly I have to say our experience was not good, we have been here before and enjoyed it, however last night was not good. Our waiter was not good never came back to refill water, 2 of our orders were wrong, and just simple one was a kids pasta with butter it came with sauce, the other was a dish request for very light sauce came with a lot of sauce. We waited in between salad and dinner a very long time. Then they added a 20% tip because they said we had special request. Which both came out wrong. I requested outside seating and at first they said we couldn’t sit outside but we did, they asked if it was an occasion I said it was a birthday but they never acknowledged or asked. Hopefully it was just a bad night.

   The Pizza ( pepperoni ) was delicious along with the Calamari as our appetizer. The Caesar salad was just average !

   I should’ve known better than to eat at any restaurant on Fifth for Valentine’s Day. Very noisy. Food not up to previous visit. Waitress seemed to want us to leave. Brought the check without asking if we wanted coffee and dessert. We did.

    We sat inside, the music was too loud to be able to have a conversation. The wait staff were not very attentive and handed us our check without asking if we wanted dessert. We felt rushed to eat and leave. The food was good.
