   We had one order of linguini clam sauce. The clams were the small low quality clams, no taste. When leaving we noticed someone eating stuffed clams which were the same clams that SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SAUCE, which, by the way, was incredibly watery. Had to ask for bread and salt and pepper at the table. The second order was the sole oreganato. The fish taste was off. There was a trace of some kind of chemical....maybe an amonia. Although we both shared this piece of fish, we had to leave a portion as the more we ate, the worse the taste was as the sauce tasted subsided. In addition, it didn't look like sole, it looked more like cod. On the other side of this was the oreganato sauce with the veggies and potatoes. This was DELICIOUS. Once was enough though. Sadly, we won't be coming back. We can get a much higher quality meal for the same cost or less at a local restaurant in our Town. Your menu is very expensive with cafeteria style ambience.

   We truly wish you had spoke to management before leaving so we could have resolved your concerns. Unfortunately noting was mentioned. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, though we are far from a "cafeteria". We hope you would consider us again in the future

   We ate here for lunch and dinner, the pizza was excellent, regular and Sicilian were both very good. Dinner started with spicy vodka sauce rice balls and grilled octopus then went into linguini and clam sauce and a chicken and artichoke special all were excellent. Our server was on point from the moment we sat down . Definitely will be back when in the area

   Excellent dinner experience tonight. We had Walter as our waiter and he was the best!! Very knowledgeable and friendly. The service was outstanding. Hope to have him again as our waiter when I return.

   We have been here to eat twice. Both times were excellent. I have celiac disease and they have gluten free options and the servers check with the chef to confirm if an item is GF. The food is delicious and ther service is excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to going back.
