   Terrible first time experience. The waitress was insensitive when I brought to her attention that my shot of tequila was overpriced. They don’t show you the price on the menu & sell one shot for the price of the bottle they sell at the store. The owner was rude when he asked what my issue was. I told him over priced liquor & he said “it’s a high end restaurant” ..The only person who seemed to actually care about my concerns as a customer was the bartender, Mario. That’s about the only good thing they have going in there. Other than service & drinks, my lobster ravioli was quite fishy & the noodles in my fettuccine were not cooked throughly. I will not be coming back.

   Lunch and our server was playing several roles. She still managed to provide good service.

   Amazing experience! The service was exceptional—attentive and friendly. The sea bass was perfectly cooked, juicy and flaky, and truly unforgettable. The live music added a vibrant, authentic touch to the atmosphere. Highly recommend this gem of an Italian restaurant!

   Ldv is located in not the best, not the worst part of town, and as such you’d think they would have parking, but the entire lot they have is reserved for valet, which is $10 for the guy to drive your car 10 feet. Kind of tacky when you are paying probably $100-$150/pp to eat. Not the best first impression. I get it, it’s only $10, but that goes both ways. I got over it…the food was great. If it weren’t for the parking fiasco, I would given 5-stars. I would skip the escargot, get a different app. The cavatelli funghi was great, it’s rich though. The tiramisu was among the best I e had. The cocktails were good as was the wine. It was very bright, they had beautiful chandeliers that would have been great lighting, they were off and it was like the sun was their light source. Way too bright. They do auto-grat, 20%, which is fine, but don’t ask for more, that’s the gamble with auto-grat. I’d go back and so should you.

   Portions are huge. Wish our server would have told us that one meal was plenty for 3/4 people. Good food but the place seemed like it wanted to be fancy but still lacked every quality to be fancy.

   I highly recommend the Rasta pasta due to its selection of proteins and the tenderloin tops as an appetizer was super delicious 10/10 it’s mine and my wife’s second time going and I’m sure more to come customer service was a 10 and it’s quiet so chat all you want

   Paige was a fantastic server!!! She was friendly, and she took the time to inform my wife and I about all the specials of the day. I had the fettuccine Alfredo with the salmon (I highly recommend it). Food was a little pricey, but it’s a fancy restaurant, but it was an overall excellent experience. If you’re looking for a fancy place to take your date, take her to this place. And ask for Paige.

   From the moment we walked in, we were treated like the only party that mattered. Sam, our wonderful server was attentive and super fun. The owner, Stetson and the chef both visited our table and made our birthday celebration extra special. I will be back!
