Good pizza, Italian pasta. Wait staff is attentive. Great place to eat if you are seeing a concert at Van Andel Arena, or a bit of a walk from Devos Performance Center.

We all really enjoyed our meals. The ravioli was superb. We were a bit disappointed with our waitress as she was not very friendly or efficient.

Staff was very friendly and attentive to us. Food was served quickly and has a nice wine selection. We dined later, so not as busy as a peak time.

The service once we were sat was impeccable! We came into contact with multiple different people which was different and cool, everyone was extremely pleasant and had a smile on their face. Every single worker there moved out of your way, even if they were holding a gigantic tray of food, our dirty dishes never sat more than a minute, our water glasses were never dry and the timing of everything was perfect. The only complaint I have is that the hostess forgot about us. I had a reservation at 6:30pm, checked in at the stand and she told me to wait over by the pizza ovens and she would come get me when our table was ready. I saw multiple people come in after me and get sat, so after a while, I went up and asked if we were still waiting and it appeared she forgot we were there. The food is also very pricey, but the food was delicious and the service was perfect, so I guess you get what you pay for :) Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Great place to eat, the service was spot on and the food was wonderful. Get there early then it’s not so busy the closer it gets to 6:30 the longer you will wait if you don’t have a reservation.

The server did an outstanding job of describing the dishes. There were four specials that I'd discounted, but after his descriptions, I wanted to try each of them! The dish I ended up ordering was a homemade pasta and seafood dish that was complex and delicious. My wife's meal was equally good. Would recommend to anybody!
