   The food was excellent. The staff was very accommodating when we asked to eat outside despite reserving inside. This was my second time there and I'll be back.

   The restaurant host and hostess are either busy talking to each other or on their phones and you have to stand and wait looking at them for at least 2-3 minutes before they can look at you. The servers/waiters don't show up and ask you what you want and never come on time to take the food order. You need a lot of patience and calm mind here. And when they show up, they don't explain the menu items clearly. We were told there was a good Tomato/Basil soup in the menu. The waiter never told us it was a COLD soup. I had ordered a pasta with a regular Tomato sauce. Instead I got the pasta with a spicy Tomato sauce. My wife wanted gluten-free pasta. Instead, she was served regular pasta and the server/waiter claimed it was gluten-free. These guys are way too cocky and arrogant and couldn't care less about what the guest wants. And, without the customer's consent, they add a 20% service charge for this crappy service. This restaurant is in a great, quiet location. But, the service is terrible. Food is okay. Nothing great about this place. Not worth the money. I wouldn't recommend this place.

   We ate lunch (about 11 am to 1 pm) and the service lacked attentiveness. Always had to prompt someone to find our server (to take our order, to get check, etc). Food was tasty although nothing spectacular — standard American take on Italian. Wouldn’t tell anyone to avoid this place, but wouldn’t go out of my way to return either.

   The service was very good. The ambience was nice. Lovely restaurant. The food was a little salty. But good.

   The service at this restaurant is just as bad as every review on yelp says. It’s unbelievable how apathetic every single remember of the waitstaff is, and it only becomes understandable once you’re aware of the 20% auto “service fee”, which they actually claim doesn’t count as a tip. The waitstaff will look at you like they don’t know why you’re even sitting there, and you’re absolutely blessed if they return to your table to check on you more than once.

   It is very evident that the servers do not work for tip money (instead there is an automatic 20% added). If they did, they’d actually care enough to provide service…

   Expensive, but good. The menu choices were sufficient for most diners to make a choice they like, but they may not like the 20% mandatory "service fee" tacked onto the bill, especially when they mention that this does not include a tip

   Amazing food! Fresh, tasty and came out pretty quickly. We dined with our two kids (10 and 7) and they loved Cacio e Pepe and the Meatballs. 10/10!

    Food was on point and service was delightful. Great little patio and not too far from everything.
