   They have expanded. The new addition is nice to have although it is not the small quaint italian feel that the original inside section has. The wait staff was very busy and it was crowded. The lentil soup changed some. I was charged for hot water - not excited about that. While the food was good and a great staple place to go some of the old charm seemed to be missing.

   Good is always phenomenal. But considering the price, i expected more attentive service. Our waiter visited the table exactly two times. Once to take order after we had been sitting for roughly twenty minutes, and once to drop check after we flagged him down. Food was delivered by a runner who had no idea who ordered what. All courses were delivered at the same time, which meant our second course got cold. As a result of the waiters lazy service, he missed multiple drink orders, dessert dollars, and additional food requests. The bill could have been so much higher and consequently, the resulting tip.

   The experience was ok under the circumstances. It was very busy and they were an hour behind seating their reservations. There was no hospitality whatsoever during the 1 hour wait standing outside on the side walk. Maybe be s little less greedy and limit your reservations slightly to accommodate patrons who are lingering with friends and family on the holiday, if you do not believe in time limits on reservations.

   Food and service were great but the restaurant overbooked for Christmas Eve and we had to wait 45 minutes past our reservation time.

   Authentic Italian cuisine that seems to be a favorite among locals. However, be prepared to arrive at least 30 minutes before your reservation. We waited for 40 minutes, and it appears this is a common occurrence at this restaurant.

   This restaurant does not take reservations. By making a reservation on this app it is allowing you to wait at this time. We waited 45min last night. Some waited over an hour because of their table size. I did question the definition of the word reservation, the very kind hostess said there was nothing she could do and she had no say with the management. The food and service was good…just be prepared to wait.
