    We had the place to ourselves on a Wednesday afternoon! The food and service were top-notch. The calamari was delicious. Our waiter, Steve, was wonderful and offered several helpful suggestions. The only disappointment was the state of the ladies' room. Wobbly toilet, missing tiles, and drab. It just didn't make sense when everything else was exceptional. It definitely needs attention. Looking forward to a return visit and trying other menu items.

    The food was good, basic Italian. We were a group of 5 and shared the eggplant involtini , arancini, and caesar salad as appetizers. The eggplant and arancini were delicious. The lettuce in the salad was browning at the edges and there was minimal dressing so it was basically a plate of chopped romaine lettuce and a few croutons. We all enjoyed our entrees and had leftovers to take home since the portions were generous: bolognese, cavatelli, ragu and gnocchi. Our waiter was attentive at first but then we waited a long time for him to come back to take our food order after he brought drinks to the table. We sat upstairs where there was a large party of about 12 and they were VERY loud/screechy--there were a couple people at that party whose voices could be heard over all the other conversations in the restaurant (most tables were full with parties of 2-6). Although it was not the fault of the restaurant it did detract from being able to hear our own conversation. Overall it was a good dining experience and we would go back--most likely in the summer when we can dine outdoors in the piazza :)

    The tables near the doors are terrible spots for people to sit when it’s cold weather. Our food got cold extremely fast from the constant door open. Food was good, service was good great.

    It was New Year’s Eve so I expected it to be busy but I think they overbooked. Had to wait 20 min after my reservation time to be seated. Waiter was really nice and professional but forgot our calamari order. Otherwise the food tasted great!

    The restaurant is amazing but too many people. They made tables where they shouldn’t be. The waiters had to maneuver through a tight maze. Tables were placed in front of an emergency exit door not allowing people to exit if there was an emergency

    We were late so we got seated at the bar, our fault. For some reason our service was slow and we were neglected compared to most of the other customers around us, kinda ruined the time there. Food was fine.
