    We sat in the back corner of the restaurant where it isn't as noisy. The front lounge area is very noisy with the piano playing and people talking over it. The service was fabulous, David couldn't do enough for us. We shared the charred octopus which was the best I've had and the Caesar salad which was delicious. I ordered the clams and linguini with wine and garlic sauce. The taste was perfect but the clams were so tiny, maybe the size of my pinky fingernail. It seemed like most of the shells were empty, but maybe the clams got lost in the pasta. If I ordered it again, I would ask to substitute shrimp. One friend had Chicken Vesuvio another Shrimp Fra Diavolo which they both said was also delicious. The lemon tart topped the dinner off and would definitely recommend it. Looking forward to going back again one day.

    What a fantastic dinner we had. Service was impeccable. The wedge salad was enough for 3. My Italiano Mare was as good as anything I’ve had in Italy. Drinks were served in beautiful stemware. Oh, and the espresso was delicious. Thanks for a great evening.

    My husband and I had high hopes for this restaurant, but unfortunately, our experience was just okay—not great. We had a reservation but weren’t seated until 35 minutes after the scheduled time, which set the tone for the evening. The restaurant seemed chaotic, with staff rushing around but lacking coordination. For appetizers, we ordered the truffle carpaccio, which was fine but not particularly memorable. I opted for the Sicilian mixed grill as my main course, but the server didn’t ask how I wanted my filet cooked. To make matters worse, I wasn’t given a steak knife, so I had to awkwardly cut my steak with a butter knife. My husband had the bolognese, which was decent but nothing to write home about. The service was okay, but the overall experience didn’t live up to the hype. It wasn’t a bad evening, but we left feeling underwhelmed.

    Our bartender, Pete, was phenomenal at the bar-along with everyone else behind the bar! Pete went above and beyond to help with a drink request. He listened and was attentive. Once we got to our table…the service was not so great. Our server was inattentive and not very interactive. Will return to eat at the bar!
