Met old friends for lunch. Food was delicious and service excellent. Music was very good but just a tad too loud.

Food was bland, not fresh and over priced. Service was mediocre. Small things - one guest received thire food 10 minutes after everyone else, one guest's food was burnt, had to constantly ask for water. I would not call this food "Italian". We will not be back.

The food was delicious - they were very busy so it was hard to get the servers’ attention but food came out promptly. It was rather noisy so it was hard to have a conversation and it’s a BYOB- that’s always a disappointment but we found the restaurant at the last minute so we were unprepared. A 12 year old granddaughter gave the pepperoni pizza a big thumbs up. The chicken Parmesan was superb and my husband loved the Vodka Penne. Delicious salad dressings on the mixed greens and Caesar salads. We’re all fussy eaters so I don’t often give such high praise. And it was very reasonably priced. A great value and amazing food- We will go back!
