   It may have been a little noisy and we may have had to wait a bit to get a table even though we had reservations, but the food and the service was excellent!!!! It was well worth any small inconveniences! We will be back.

   Service was great! Everyone was very welcoming and kind but the food was very memorable. The ambiance of the restaurant was so cozy and aesthetically pleasing. There is also a bar! They had daily specials and lunch specials. Complimentary garlic knots were so surprising and delicious. Their mozzarella wedges are a must have. Their pastas were huge portions, very filling and delicious. Their chicken soaks up the sauce of the food so well.Their food is made fresh in house so it was a little bit of a longer wait than I am used to but well worth.Will be back again!

   First time visiting this seemingly popular Italian restaurant. There was a significant line to get in that lasted for at least an hour after we arrived. Usually a good indicator. As for the ambience, we noted that it seemed to be a bit industrial in the outside dining we ended up and not well thought out. We were 15 minutes early and sat at the bar for a couple glasses of wine. They got us a table reasonably promptly for 7:30 PM. We ordered the meatball appetizer and a vegetarian pizza, large, and the seafood pasta. Meatball appetizer was good The pizza unfortunately was not great. Actually, it wasn’t even good. The dough was like bread throughout and was overcooked on the bottom. We both had one piece and decided it was worthy of keeping if we took it home and doctored it up later. But each piece was like a large piece of bread with a lot of air in it. Definitely not typical pizza dough. The seafood dish was good  with a lot of pasta and a little bit of seafood. The marinara was OK. As for service, it was OK. Bartender knows what she’s doing The waitress didn’t really check in on us and never once asked for how our meal was. Not at the beginning middle or end. After the appetizer was served - The food took at least 30 more minutes to reach us. This was a two hour meal and it should’ve been an hour max. To get our check, we waited far too long. Maybe 15 minutes after boxing the pizza. We will see if we can dress up the pizza and make it a little more palatable at home.

   As great as the food was that’s how bad the ambience and atmosphere was. They stuck us in a back room that felt like a Russian interrogation at a prison. Super ugly fluorescent lights. But the food was great. Don’t let them stick you in the back room.

   Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Large portions so I have enough for a second dinner. It was loud inside and hard to converse though and the service was a bit slow but overall a good experience.

   The food is always great…it’s our go to for Italian food. All the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Atmosphere is laid back and causal even on the busiest of nights (2/14/25).

   Was not aware the menu would be limited so was very disappointed I could not order what I wanted even though the limited menu stated the whole menu was available but could take longer time which was fine with me. Would have been nice for them to tell me when they called to confirm my reservation that they would have a limited menu.

    Food was just ok. Ordered shrimp fra diavolo and it didn’t have much flavor. I had to add salt which I never do, just to give it some. My wife ordered chicken piccata and the sauce was very thick and looked more like alfredo sauce. They serve garlic knots as their bread before the meal and they were served floating in oil. Maybe they just had an off night, but this was my experience.
