   This restaurant was incorrectly listed as an Italian restaurant on Open Table. It had one pasta dish that I can remember and it came out tasting somewhat cold/old, the meatballs tasted as like they were purchased in bulk, frozen. Overall, slightly disappointed. This "restaurant" is much more of a dive bar. Ordered a glass of wine which certainly tasted like it had been from a bottle open behind the bar for a few days. Would not come here for a nice or even quiet dinner - as many other patrons were very loudly playing the bocce and connect four games.

   My friend and I enjoyed our dinners. I think there is a disconnect between the online menu versus the actual menu, but I was able to enjoy the roasted chicken. Since the menu changes each season, we look forward to coming back to taste the other meal options.

   Pretty standard brunch fare with good service. Restaurant was pretty empty, but that made it an easy seating for a table of six. Coffee was rather expensive compared to food.

   Excellent service. All 6 members of our party ordered differently and were quite satisfied.

   Nice Neighborhood bar to relax and have a drink. Spaghetti with meatballs are quite tasty. Opera on tap was a unique experience and the venue was very appropriate.

   I went to Vendetta for the jazz brunch with the Captones, held on the first Sunday of every month. The brunch menu features lots of comfort food with some Italian flare, and the band did an excellent job with classics like Our Love Is Here to Stay and even La Vie en Rose. Thoroughly enjoyable!

   The concept is nice, but when a group of 5 of us arrived for brunch, there was a very LOUD band playing. For brunch, seriously? We're talking drums so loud and a singer singing at the top of his voice so that I couldn't even hear the person across from me at the tiny table. I wasn't hungover (hadn't even been drinking the night before), and although the music was good, it quickly gave me a pounding headache and defeated the purpose of having brunch there. The food also comes in wire baskets with tissue/wax paper in them, which was acceptable for serving burgers and fries, but definitely not for my sausage and biscuits. (Very messy.) Other than the Hangover Sandwich (which my husband loved), all of the rest of the food was blah. And although the waiter did successfully get the band to quiet down (by dismissing the backup musicians), he was frequently absent, took a long time to take our orders, and forgot simple things (like bringing coffee out, without any sugar/cream or even offering. Then once asked, took about 15 minutes to even bring those.) Like I said, good start, good concept, but needs serious improving.

   Prosecco on tap makes for a fantastic bottomless brunch, and the service was exceptional! Everyone on my group had a great time :)

   The food I ordered -- the grilled ceasar salad and the zucchini frieds -- were very tasty. But I ended up ordering them because I didn't really have a hankering for much else on the menu. I do wish the restaurant had more choices on the menu. And it also would have been nice to have the option of ordering a special--there were none.

    Went for a birthday party. We had dinner and planned to get a bocce game going but were never quick enough to get to the court before someone else. Food was good. I had the vendetta burger. It was slightly overcooked but still good. The service slowed down after it got a bit busier but it wasn't impossible to place an order.
