   Was in town visiting and had been to Carbone in Vegas , so we decided to dine here knowing the name and quality of food and service we got in Vegas . Honestly, not impressed, way to dark , way to loud and the food was just average . Meatballs were lukewarm at best . Service was decent not blown away , but not bad either . Just was expecting more from the food and didn't get it . We like piping hot food and for the price way paid , lukewarm food to me is a turn off . The chicken dish was covered in a oily sauce with way too many peppers and tiny pieces of chicken for the price , and my guest dish was similar to a lunch portion not a dinner entree for the price we paid .

   By far, one of the BEST Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food and customer service were spectacular! We’ll definitely be back!

   Everything was splendid. We went to celebrate my graduation. Reservation was at opening and it was very quiet. We had an opportunity to enjoy the restaurant without it being full with guest. Food was superb. Everything was flavorful and fresh. We started with the shrimp cocktail and Caesar salad then the spicy rigatoni pasta and the lobster ravioli. Main course was the lamb chops and potatoes. All the meals were coursed out perfectly, tasted amazing and service was great.

   We requested an intimate table when we booked but instead we were seated a table in the middle. We asked to be moved to a booth which was a little more intimate and initially we were told we could not be moved although there were 2 empty booths beside us. After waiting we noticed no one was seated in the booths so I requested to speak to a manager to ask the reason we were not able to move . He came over and stated he wasn’t sure why we were denied the booth initially but moved us. We were appreciative of that but it just didn’t sit well with me that we were denied when that’s what we requested when making the reservation. The ambiance was great however the food was definitely not what we were expecting. There were limited choices on the menu, and for the price paid it just wasn’t worth it and I didn’t appreciate the service.

    Hype was more than the experience. Located in a warehouse space with drapes and plants separating areas, it was a noisy and cold setting. Our waiter (Captain) was great. He explained that food is served family style and is to be shared and quickly brought out a bread bowl (most was drenched in butter/oil), cheese and salami. He then told us their dining style of having multiple courses. Don’t be pushed into ordering every single course as I felt we were. We had 3 types of prosciutto with cheese (two were terrible), then the spicy rigatoni vodka. The pasta was the best tasting food we had. We followed with the steak Diane. The meat was tough and full of fat leaving much inedible. I had a glass of Rosè and my daughter ordered a daiquiri that tasted like wet grass (even the waiter agreed). He replaced it with an espresso martini that was delicious. They recognized my daughter’s birthday with two credit card sized pieces of amaretto cake baked in the colors of Italy. We won’t return because it’s extremely overpriced for the lackluster food, no ambiance and location. There are MANY beautiful places to enjoy fine dining with delicious food in Dallas and this isn’t one. We should’ve gone back to Bobs or Al Biernat’s.
