    This was our first time eating here. The food was really great, service was perfect. The only thing I did not like was that we were seated in a back dining room. The lighting was way too bright, and there was no background music. It felt sort of like a dinner. I know it was a busy night, but if we were to go again I would ask to be seated in the main dining room. All and all though, I would recommend this place.

    Definitely wanted a better table for an "in advance reservation". It was a reservation for two and we were told all the booths were set for four, then saw other parties of two sat there. Not upset, just jealous because those tables were bigger lol! Food was really yummy and everything was cooked with care and came out in an orderly time. Totally understand how service can waver on a holiday or when it is busy!

    Wonderful experience! We had only ordered take out from here and have been wanting to come in for a meal. Went for a Sunday afternoon late lunch. Our server was delightful and the food was delicious! We can’t wait to go back.

    The gnocchi was exceptional and the calamari was a large and perfectly cooked portion.

    It’s expected to include more vegetables in their menu.

    Had NYE dinner. We had reservations luckily. Restaurant was packed. Our waitress was very attentive. All our meals were perfectly prepared except my husbands Zuppa de pesce came out dry with hardly any sauce. Once we got attention of waitress she brought back to kitchen and had it fixed. Few negative parts of evening were bringing out 3 appetizers and then waiting 10 minutes for 4th persons to be brought out and same with dinner. I had to wait at least 10 minutes for my dinner and meanwhile rest of tables dinner was getting cold. I asked for another glass of wine and unfortunately it wasn’t served until my meal was almost finished. All our meals were wonderful. Kitchen just needs to have all meals served together.
