Service and food are usually top notch. We did go right before Thanksgiving and it was a slow night at the restaurant. Our server was not responsive enough. Usually the portions are quite large. However, my son’s bolognese was not. In addition, the ratio of pasta to sauce was not right. When the pasta was gone, he still had half a bowl of sauce. The cheese plate was nicely presented. However, it was expensive for the size of the appetizer. The cheese portions were skimpy. Everything else we ordered was very good and the greeting by staff when we arrived and left was very welcoming.

The food as exceptional, per usual! I hope they offer physical menus again. I do not want to pull out my phone at dinner. Also, I was sat by the door for the first time and it was freezing. I will request a seat away from the door going forward. Overall, Tempo is our FAVORITE and we will be back!
