    Got the bacon carbinara, which was very basic but fine, and got the chicken parmigiana which was..good enough. The chicken was burnt but still tasted good, but the spaghetti that came with it was the most ravioli esque spaghetti ive ever had. The desserts were really good, the salad was good, the soups were good, and the bread was good. Just sucked that our main courses were just...'good enough I guess'. Service was wonderful though.

    Food was good. Quick service for a busy evening. Server was attentive and on top of all requests. It was a little chilly though as we were seated near the front door.

    That awful new “butter” really is a terrible experience. It’s some sort of solidified salty oil, which I’m sure is cheaper, but it’s a terrible way to cut costs. Gross.
