We arrived 30 minutes early and were seated right away. Had pizza for our appetizer, it was Great. The drinks were phenomenal. My cousin said the spaghetti with Bolognese sauce and meatballs, was the best he has ever had. The pappardelle was fantastic. The service was phenomenal. Best Italian meal we have had in a while A+++++

Gnocchi were mushy and somewhat cold, though the sauce had a good flavor. Pizza crust was great but the rest of it was bland. Service was overall very good.

I never send food back but this time I did. They way undercooked the risotto - it was crunchy. Needless to say I ordered something else. And rather than comp my meal they made me pay for it. Not coming back here anytime soon. We have been here one other time and enjoyed it and recommended it to others but now not so much.

Made a reservation but still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated even though people who came after me without a reservation were being seated. Emma the waitress was great. Pizza and pasta were amazing. Salmon was ok
