    Food was great. Service was brisk towards the end and we were asked to leave. Bathroom needs a total renovation for our restaurant of this level.

    Excellent food, great Italian setting and prompt service. Huge portions for the prices. Music was a little overbearing and loud but otherwise the noise level was fine and it was crowded when we there. Will definitely return.

    Seated within a few minutes of arrival (we had a reservation). We requested fusilli with vegetables. In less than 15 minutes, it arrived, steaming hot and loaded with peppers, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes and peas. Delicious and healthy.

    The restaurant is super cute. The garlic bread appetizer ($10) was good. I ordered the chicken piccata and did not like it. My daughter ordered the chicken Marsala and she did not like her dish either. The chicken was not grilled nor fried, but almost a boiled texture. Overall, we did not care for the food, but the atmosphere was great.

    We were glad to be able to make a reservation on short notice, but we weren’t dazzled by the experience. I indicated that we were there for a special occasion, my 50th birthday. When we arrived, we were bright upstairs, where there were some garishly bright decorative lights in the window and loud, frankly awful holiday music playing the whole time. It felt like we were being taken to the kids’ tables, maybe because we had our two teenaged sons with us? I would have preferred the downstairs area, which seemed a little better in terms of ambience. The food was fine…the calamari was good and plentiful, the pasta came in huge bowls and the sauces were solid. A server bright a huge bowl of Parmesan that he spooned generously over our food on request, but I prefer to have some at the table to use to taste as I eat (much like fresh pepper—I don’t know if I’m going to want it until I taste my food, and then I may want to continue to season as I go). The clams in the linguine were fresh but extremely tiny and a little gritty. Felt like more work to eat them that it was really worth. The house red, a Sangiovese, was on point, though—very pleased with that. Overall, an ok experience that would have been improved with attention to ambience and details. Nobody ever mentioned anything about our special occasion, which seemed like a missed opportunity.
