    We had to wait a while for our table- but we know it’s not the fault of the restaurant. People need to realize that they can’t linger at their table- especially when they are the early reservation. Pasquale and his team totally did right by us. It was a great dinner- fantastic drinks and food.

    Our server, Brian, was fabulous. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and most importantly about gluten free options. He was also knowledgeable about cross contamination which is exceedingly important for a person with Celiac Disease. The food was great! I had the Chilean Sea Bass in tomato broth. The flavors were terrific and the fish was sublime. The other three diners with me ordered off of the specials. They ordered the lobster tails, the fruta del mare and the stuffed lobster. The three of them loved their dishes. I love the gf bread and I do not mind paying the additional $6 to get it! The only very minor issue was we felt our wedge salads were under-dressed so we asked for extra dressing and found out when we received the bill that we were charged for the dressing. It was a nominal charge, $4 for two, but I didn’t feel good about the surprise of it with the bill. Overall, a wonderful dining experience!

    Semolina is always our first choice when we come back to NJ. As usual is was phenomenal!!! The coffee crusted venison carpaccio was tender and delicious. I had the squash angolotti that were plump and the creamy sauce has just enough truffle and pepper notes. My husband had the spicy octopus ragú and it was light and flavorful. Finished the night with a hefty pot de crème that was perfection. Trish was out server and she was attentive, witty and efficient as the dining room was filling up punctuated by Bryson and Jillian who made sure we had everything we needed. once again walked away full and happy!
