    Food was phenomenal. They were running a bit behind so we got seated late, but they brought out champagne for those waiting to be sat so we werent too upset. Service was also great. would go back in a heartbeat.

    Feels like you are on a cruise ship. The staff are nice . Decor is odd. Kinda like they told the designer we want to take an old school east coast neighborhood Italian place and modernized it which doesn’t really work. The back walls have digital back lit art similar to renaissance Works found in Italy. At any moment, the screen feels like it could change to The Little Mermaid . There’s nothing overly special about the food. I had the filet mignon Italian style that was cooked very well but over salted. would go back if invited, but wouldn’t go on my own.

    It took us a while to get a reservation so we were very excited to go. When our reservation said “Standard seating” was our only option we took it with hesitancy. We arrived 30 min early in hopes to have a cocktail at the bar. The hostess informed us that our table was ready and they would seat us even though the rest of our party was not there. She took us to our booth which was in the middle of the bar. I understand why she sat us as there was standing room only in the bar. It was so very loud we had to practically yell to each other and into our server. Our silver was fabulous and very knowledgeable. We ordered cocktails and informed our server we’d like to wait for the rest of our party to arrive before ordering food. The rest of our party arrived at 6:30 on time. And sat with us they two were looking forward to our evening. Again, the server was wonderful and she informed us about the. Antipasto cart that we were very excited to hear about. He arrived at our table and we ordered a couple of the antipasto‘s. Again, they were delicious and the service was wonderful. The food arrived and again it was delicious and exactly what we expected. Our overall experience in the food and service was exceptional, but we all agreed that we wouldn’t go back and eat again in that bar area as it was way too loud and very uncomfortable to sit through that. The next time we go, we will ask when we can get into the dining room as we were told by the server. It was about five times less noisy in the dining area. If you’re looking for a bar experience, it’s exceptional, but eating in that room was uncomfortable. Again we will go back for the dining room experience. I wish we would’ve been told this in the beginning.

    Everything was amazing !! We were there celebrating my sister’s birthday, we had a booth in the very center of the restaurant which gave us an amazing view of everything. We started with the charred octopus, which was mouthwatering followed by the veal piccata and lobster ravioli. All o can say is wow !Michael the manager came over to make sure we were happy throughout the night and also made sure she got a birthday cake with a candle.  This place makes you feel like you’re actually in Italy on vacation. Very very satisfied w our server and bartender as well . Thank you ❤️

    Went there for date night in a Friday and had a great time. The food was delicious and they were able to accommodate food sensitivities easily. The service by TJ was above and beyond. Will definitely be going back.

    We were excited to try, but were disappointed. It felt like we were at Caesar's Palace. We had to wait for our table, but they did offer Prosecco. The food was just ok. For the price, Sophia’s Kitchen or Nicks is better. Heck, Maggianos is better. It was also so loud. My daughter, who sat across the table from us could barely hear us. Short rib lasagna was not it. None of our meals were. We also got dessert. Not good at all. Was hoping to like this place, but no need to go back.
