   We were excited to finally visit this restaurant as we were regulars at Chiara, a Westwood gem. The interior looks nice but it makes the place incredibly loud. The menu is comprehensive but it contains nothing extraordinary. We ordered baked clams and this is where our disappointment started. There were 7 chewy clams covered by half an inch of dense tomato paste. You can call this dish 'death by canned tomato sauce'. I don't use this word often but the appetizer was disgusting. Our mains were spaghetti with tuna and a Cesars Salad with Salmon. The spaghetti looked nice but lacked taste. The Cesar's salad was below standard and the piece of salmon must have been precooked as it was a dry brick of salmon. The waitress was trying her best. she was kind by asking the manager to deduct the appetizer from our bill but the manager didn't show up to check in with us. We thought we'd become regulars but this dinner clearly led to a one-time-experience.

   Food was good. Service definitely needs more practice. Tables to close together tough to have conversation when you are 6 inches next to another table.

   We enjoyed our meals at this lively restaurant. We had great service as our server checked in on us many times. The food was absolutely delicious, starting with the chips with aïoli sauce and then we each had wonderful entrées. Dessert was tiramisu.

   Our first time. We both enjoyed our entrees and desserts. Next time we will try some of their appetizers. Busy and popular place but they had it all under control and service was good.

    I really liked this place. Very cozy local spot with great drinks, apps, and delicious pasta. The bar is pretty, and we had wonderful service. I’ve been 3 times in the past week and look forward to returning!
