Chicken Marsala didn’t have Marsala wine in it. One menu had someone else’s dinner on it. A server put a food cart right in back of one of our chairs, making it difficult to get out.

Not impressed, we got a view of cars parked along the street. In reservation it asked and I mentioned birthday, however nothing said or done. Staff was moderate. Food ok but not great for the prices. Not a place I would rush back to.

I went for dinner with a party of seven. The service was impeccable! Everyone’s meal from pasta to seafood to lamb was delicious. We all had the arancini appetizer which was the best I’ve ever had! Our experience was a 10! The bread served was the best I’ve had anywhere!

Food was very disappointing. Octopus and patatas was greasy with little flavor, Branzino was fried and not very good. Wines by the glass are a poor selection. Service was distracted. Will not be back
