We have been frequent customers and have never had a problem. This past Saturday we visited with some friends and ordered dinner. After a while we noticed that people that came in after us were eating. After about 40 minutes of waiting we called the waiter and found out our order was never put in. When we finally got our dinner our pasta must have been sitting under a lamp because it was dry. We will go back because we've always had a good dinner and we understand mistakes happen but Saturday was not memorable.

We had a great dining experience. Service was excellent. Tried the soup special which was outstanding. Our appetizer and entree was also very good. No room for dessert. Next time.

Food was very good but the temperature was not consistent. Part of my dinner was just barely warm. Good service and nice ambience.

Dated, mediocre food, dirty floors (shoes stuck under the table). Wait staff was very friendly but service took very long for food. It was a holiday but there were empty tables so it couldn't be volume of diners. Would not recommend

As always great food and service! Starting at the bar area awaiting our table, to the end of our meal, the environment is vibrant and friendly.

We had a most enjoyable dinner experience. Selvin our server was very proficient and helpful with our questions about the menu. The butternut squash, Nonna’s lasagna and the rigatoni bolognese were excellent. It was nice and quiet for our early dinner which was welcome. We will definitely be back!
