Nice to be welcomed by owner. Maybe a bit over done when the water person goes on and on above having us there. At least two other people welcomed us besides the hostess, waitress, owner and water girl. A little goes a long way.\nNice remodeling and upscale atmosphere.\nLasagna was very good. Mushroom risotto pasta was a drab, even with salt there was very little taste. Maybe more garlic?\nPasta with seafood was also good.\n\nCalamari appetizer and Tiramisu dessert was very good.\nOverall prices are high, including salads, dessert and wine, but these are costly times.\nWe will go back, careful selection of what we order and not accept tasteless meal like the mushroom risotto again.\n\nSecond visit in July of 2023. One star this time.\nNever going back. Our mistake for taking another couple there, ashamed.\n\n4 in our group. 2 of us had the special, scallops and pasta and one had veal Marsala,\nanother the spaghetti and meatballs. The special had no flavor. Just cooked in olive oil.\nWaiter never came back to ask what we thought. We ate it because no one came around and\nwe waited long enough to get what we had. The veal Marsala was also unseasoned. We\nasked for salt, then pepper. You would think a good restaurant might realize that something\nwas wrong. Shouldn't an Italian restaurant cook with garlic and some seasoning.\nWe did ask for more bread and that took 2 different staff, not our waiter, to finally get around\nto bringing it.\nFor a meal that cost over $200, it was terribly disappointing.
