    Food was great. Love the grilled octopus and Melanzane Alla Parmigiana; pasta dishes were delicious too. The service is disappointing. The server did very minimal to serve us. Didn’t take our main course order. Didn’t ask us and bring the bill over in the end. We have two couples at the table, and only one person ordered a glass of wine. The server didn’t ask us how to split the bill. It’s kinda of rude and unprofessional. The restaurant was half empty, and not busy; but I felt he wanted us to leave. Perhaps we didn’t order a bottle of wine or order too few dishes. Overall, service needs improvement. Will I recommend to my friends or go back? Definitely not.
