We love this place and it never disappoints, we arrived for our reservation, was sat right of way, the chef was singing and the whole place was lit, we love the energy. We ordered the artichokes, the pear dish and the lobster pasta, and for dessert we ordered the hazelnut mousse and it was divine. We will definitely be back again.

Through the entire dinner we felt rushed. We haven’t even got the appetizers and they keep coming back to get our main course order. For a party of 6 they were ready to get us out in 60 minutes, despite ordering appetizers, main course and dessert. Food was good, except for the special of the day ravioli stuffed with sausage. Music was nice but too loud. I like going out to enjoy a meal and not be rushed.

Understanding it was Christmas our reservation was at 5:45 and we arrived at 5:30 and was seated quickly. Our waited provided water and then forgot about us. When we finally got him over to take our order he tried to have us order a bottle of wine when all we wanted were a glass each. When we did not want that he walked away. We got him over again after he took the order of a 6 top who came in after our 2 top. At 6 p.m. they were out of anything we wanted and again tried to have us order their special "7 Fishes" which was not what either of wanted. My feeling is that the restaurant was ill prepared for the reservations taken. All the waiter did was make excuses. The atmospher was loud and chaotic. We left and had a great meal down the street at Thassos where the atmosphere was festive, food was excellent and service impeccable.

I didn’t expect the menu to be a Christmas menu. I don’t know why, but I didn’t. I expected to be watering off the original menu The ambience in the atmosphere in there was fine. The table seemed a little too close. For Christmas, I found the prices, challenging and high The musical entertainment wasn’t expected for a restaurant setting during Christmas. The music was loud. He pounded the keys on the keyboard. The music was not conducive to an Italian restaurant. I’ve been to the restaurant before. I have always enjoyed the food and I would go back.

My family went there for Christmas dinner and had the Feast of the Seven Fishes, Lamb Shank, Gnocchi, and Parpadelle pasta, all delicious. Appetizers and bread were great, and you must try the pear martini. Wonderful evening with great service!

Unfortunately they had over an hour waiting for our table. Even though we had a reservation. You would think a restaurant that has been in business for such a long time would had better management skills honoring our reservation time. We will never come back during any special day. We were charged for life music we couldn’t even hear.
