    I was sorely disappointed today , my first time at this restaurant . I had read some good reviews so was looking forward to my visit . The restaurant is excessively noisy . The staff was lovely and no complaints there. The food however was awful . We both ordered grilled chicken salads . The chicken must have been packaged , sliced chicken breast . It was dry and tasteless. The salad dressing had a terrible fishy taste and the tomatoes were tasteless . A plate of tasteless chicken and salad out of a package cost 16 dollars . I will never go back to this restaurant .

    We were a party of four for dinner. We shared a Margherita pizza as an appetizer. For entrees, we had Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken Scarpariello, Seafood Rissoto and Eggplant Parmesan. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. We will definitely visit the restaurant again.

    Put in specific requests about our a family who was hard of hearing, and that it was a birthday. Host was so checked out he didn’t even look at my reservation when we arrived. Offered us the table next to the front door and silverware trays. Thankfully our waiter was nice.

    We sat outside. The tables are plastic (could use table clothes) and not level due to the curb outside the restaurant. The food was ok. I had the special watermelon arugula salad. Nice presentation but something I always make at home. Then I had the special lobster and shrimp homemade fettuccine special. The shrimp were overcooked and there was no distinct flavor for the pasta. My husband had the eggplant parm app and a decent burger. Overall, it was good but not great.
