    My Opentable reservation was for 3 people and I chose "standard" seating, not "outside". When I arrived, I was told the reservation was for 2 people, and we were seated outside. Still, they had a heater next to the table, and the food was good.

    Hostess was only way to say is and was rude not only to us to all other customers. We were seated a table from the hostess stand.It was my wife's birthday requested standard (inside seating online offered both) we were seated in the patio area next to the alley(so able to have several cars pull in during our dinner). Our sever Gabriel was exceptional as was the rest of the wait staff/service team( By the way, worked in restaurant industry for 12 years hostess really needs to find a different career) Food : appetizer Burrata was good, Both the bolognese and the chicken piccata unfortunately was very bland lacked seasoning. Though the noddles for the bolognese very good. The desserts had the cannolis and Pope's Pillow. Cannolis very good but the custard for Pope's seemed pre-made lacked a vanilla taste expected. Our bill was 200.00 left 30% plus tip but 161.22 for the meal included 3 glasses of wine not on our be back list unfortunately.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. With your experience in the restaurant industry, you know that Saturday nights can be challenging. OT requests for seating are, unfortunately, just that—requests. While we always strive to accommodate our guests, there are times, like in your case, when it proves difficult, and for that, I sincerely apologize. To prevent future confusion, we’ve decided to remove this seating option from OpenTable. Since we treat our covered and heated patio as part of our indoor seating, we believe this change will help clarify expectations for our diners. Regarding the Bolognese, it’s our top-selling dish and a customer. I’m sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations. I hope your wife had a wonderful birthday, and I appreciate your kind words about the service.

    Wonderful neighborhood eatery - service and food are both excellent. We have a large family, often 9-12 family members, so making reservations can be tricky. We were able to get a reservation at the last minute. Our table was ready and our server attentive. Everyone enjoyed their meal choices - their burrata is the best. You cannot go wrong with any of them. This place gets busy but they make you feel welcome.

    Excellent food, wine, and ambiance. Only negative is it took a very long time to receive our main entrees

    Hi Darlene, Thank you for your feedback! Last Friday, we experienced a technical issue with OpenTable that resulted in overbooking. While we did our best to accommodate everyone, it unfortunately caused delays in the kitchen. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your meal, and I want to assure you that we typically pride ourselves on serving meals promptly. We hope to welcome you back soon for a smoother experience!

    Food was very delicious, but a bit pricey. Hostess was a little standoff-ish, but was very friendly to the "regulars." The night my wife and I went, and error on the reservations app caused overbooking, so the staff was trying to cope with a larger crowd than usual. The servers kept their cool and still delivered a high level of service, apologizing as needed, and filling my wine glass significantly more full than what I'd imagine during a normal night.
