    Service was excellent. We loved the garlic bread. Loved the feta dressing on the wedge salad. My husband got the chicken parm & I ordered the chicken piccata. My husband loved the red sauce. I enjoyed my entree but it wasn't the best I ever had. I think this is a great local restaurant for the 280 near Lee Branch crowd. We live on the other side of town but ventured out. Our meal was enjoyable. We didn't try their pizza but it looked very good on the table of other diners.

    Everything was amazing, but we were a bit disappointed by the food, WAY too oily, but we were looking forward for desert by ordering the bread pudding but it was way too dry. The server we had was amazing.

    Went on Valentine’s Day. We were given a time limit. We did not delay ordering but struggled to finish eating before the time limit. We felt somewhat rushed. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was good.

    Server was excellent but actual service was a tad slow. Food was excellent. As the restaurant filled, it got pretty loud but that was towards the end of our meal.

    3rd time to eat here. Hesitant from our last dinner experience here but we tried it again. We probably will not be back. Our drinks took 20 minutes to arrive and was a room temperature martini when we received it. The glass was filled 1/3 with old olives. (14.00 each) Bread was 9.95 when you normally get that free at other Italian restaurants. Caprese salad was average along with the chicken parm, which was cold when it came out. Shrimp and grits were good. Was thinking about dessert but the couple next to us waited 20 minutes on a dessert to go. 120.00 later ,,, a big pile of disappointment.

    Ambience in restaurant was great and the manager that seated us was very friendly. The waitress did not give us the specials and the drinks took a long while to get to us. The pasta I found bland- next time I’d order differently.
