   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.

   Went to early dinner for Mother in Law's birthday and were really happy that the place was already bustling at 5:45, unlike some places that are basically empty at this time. It was a good sign that everyone wants to eat there even if the only available times are early ones. We ordered the shrimp appetizer, bread with olive oil and carpaccio and were very pleased with all of them. The carpaccio was loved by all, even my FIL, who normally doesn't like rare meat. I was the only one that ordered a cocktail, but WOW was it delicious! I would go back just to have this drink (coconut/pinapple/rum based but can't recall the name. Everyone ordered a pasta dish for their main entree, and all agreed they were delicious and really nice portion sizes. no acknowledgement of my MIL's birthday though we put it in the reservation notes, and even though we weren't expecting a free desert or anything, it seems odd to me when the restaurant ignores a detail like this, especially when you make a special night of it by dining there. Not a big deal, but at least say Happy Birthday, its a nice touch. Will definitely be back as the food was awesome, well timed and I can tell I'd enjoy more items on the menu.
