Great place for Happy Hour/Dinner. Appetizers are tasty and filling enough where you can turn happy hour into a dinner. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. A group of 4 of us had pretty lose the entire appetizer menu.

I went there a few minutes before my reservation and waited by the sign to be seated. I waited and waited. I tried to catch someone’s eye and flag them down, but I was ignored. I stood there for 6 minutes and then left with embarrassment for not being fit to be served.

We aarrived on time. The place wasn't busy -- three other families there so it was 80% empty. We ordered 7 entrees. Two were served and then 10 minutes later 3 more were served and then 20 minutes after that the last two entrees were served. Very disappointed in that. The food was okay, but not as good as it has been in the past. The calamari appetizer was very chewy. The waitress was very good but the kitchen staff needs better time management -- the entrees are supposed to be coming at the same time. Sadly, I am not a fan anymore.

Things got off to a rough start as staff wasn't watching the front and busy helping someone with takeout. After waiting about five minutes, we were seated. Menus were brought including the happy hour menu which only applies for Monday - Friday and we ate there on Saturday. I thought the menu was pretty limited for Italian food. I expected more options than the basic meatballs and spaghetti and lasagna, etc. Lots of options for pizza though. Once we were served, we never saw our server again until we flagged someone down to give us our checks. I chose this this place based upon the ratings on OpenTable which in retrospect, was a mistake. I wouldn't go back. Not because anything was bad, it was just "meh" and not worth going again.

Friendly, inviting and warm service. Happy Hour is packed with good bites (roasted chile lime chicken wings are on point) and tasty drinks. Can’t beat the value for downtown San Mateo
