I def get the family style concept, but disappointed in the lack of ability to customize. I asked for a side salad as I was the only one at my table that wanted one, and that was not an option. My child wanted a kids portion of lasagna, also not an option. Just need more flexibility in today’s world. Also, it’s insane there’s no bread, butter/ dipping oil for the table provided. I’ve never been to any Italian restaurant where this wasn’t provided. Even chai restaurants typically provide bread. It was $18 to order, which we passed on. Overall, average $120k dinner. Wouldn’t reco.

Arrived with reservation and they wanted to squeeze 9 people into a 6 top. Had to split party. Food was subpar, bland and very over priced. Their concept of family style wasn’t understood well looking on website. Sounded like an option. Food was on par with Olive Garden and not worth it. . Other tables were getting food and came in after us.

Our experience was good for our first time eating there. The disappointment was our drinks came after our food, our bill came before our dessert and we felt rushed to finish.

Business dinner with a twist. We also had a birthday to celebrate. Good atmosphere for a meal. The appetizers were great and the 4 for $45 deal was good. The Caesar salad was good. ..However the Chicken Parmesan was just ok and one of the chicken pieces was undercooked. The pasta was really spicy. Disappointing. Service was good and the bday desert was amazing. We will try this again in the future and treat this as a one off experience

The pasta was terrible. Maybe the pizza is better. But we did not like the appetizer or the pasta at all. That being said I did leave a 20% tip for the waiter bc it was not his fault the food was bad.
