   Always love coming to this location. I know it was lunch rush a bit but our server was bypassing our table. No refill on drinks until we asked for the check. Had to ask for a box to another server passing by since ours was basically MIA

   It’s nice to have a good Italian Restaurant near our neighborhood. Great service and the food was prepared properly.

   Service was great and we had the truffle garlic bread and arancini for appetizers which were delicious. We had a variety of mains, all of which were very good. I had a salad with salmon and the salmon was cooked perfectly. I’ve eaten inside and outside and both are lovely. Park across the street in the deck and you can get 5 minutes of walking in too. We will be back!

   Our apps were amazing but our service was sub par. The waiter took a long time to get our order and drinks. And he also forgot one of our entrées  and by the time he came to check on us everyone else was done with their meal. I got the tortellini and it was sadly undercooked. But the flavor was good.

   The food and service was excellent. The place was very busy and a little too noisy for my taste. However I would go back just not on a Saturday night.

   Excellent late lunch! The restaurant is beautiful. The waiter was super helpful on drink selections. We loved the Zucca chips & the homemade aioli was sooo good! Already made another reservation for later next week with my husband and parents.

    A friend and I were there for Saturday lunch around noon. It was quieter than we expected, which was nice. The bread and oil app was amazing. A little pricey for what it was, but it sure was pretty and delicious. Our mains took quite a while to get to the table (stromboli, caprese sandwich, both with fries). Fries were okay, they didn't have much flavor and didn't taste super fresh compared to similar restaurants in town. The stromboli was very good. The caprese sandwich (tomato, mozzarella, pesto) had quite a lot of pesto but only one small cherry tomato for the whole sandwich, so we needed to ask for more on the side. Service was responsive, bringing more tomatoes per request, but they didn't do much to acknowledge the (albeit minor) issue or do any service recovery. We might try again, as it's a convenient location and beautiful atmosphere, good flavors. Just missed the mark a bit.
