   We were seated right away and then waited for our server. No one came and manager took drink order and then also took our food order - literally 20 mins after being seated and placing orders, this young waiter, at no fault of his own, he was slammed, came over and started from the beginning. We told him we had ordered no problem!! Then food came and we never saw anyone else again till I got up and asked for the bill! Only one side of restaurant was busy but obviously only one server. Now the food, pork chop would have been awesome if it wasn’t over salted! The sea bass was excellent but pesto crusted was all bread crumbs no pesto! Lobster mashed potatoes were cold. And the salad was OVER dressed and wayyyy too many olives! Sorry, might be a one off- We shall see

   Have eaten here a few time , hostess is lovely and comes around to make sure meals and service are good . Wait staff is always professional and excellent . Live music to listen to while eating is always a plus , so a great place to eat , I’ve never had a bad dish

   HORRIBLE. Walked in for a 12:30 reservation and no one worker was there besides the chef. Not the hostess, not a waitress, no one. Was seating by the chef. No music was on no heat. He said he had to put the heat on for us. Meanwhile the restaurant opened at 11:30. He also told us our waitress was on the way. After 1pm still not waitress. We got up and left. Was so sketchy. Not a sole was in there as well. Will never go back. Not sure how they are in business still.

   Had 7 pm reservation for four. Started with Calamari Garibaldi which was excellrnt I had the stuffed veal, my wife had the Fioretti Ristica, my son had the Super Tuscan and my daughter in law had the Rigatoni BR all were again exceclent! There was nothing to complain about with the food. As good as the food was the staff was even better from a great bartender to our server, his support help and the hostess! Fantastic experience and cannot wait to go back. If you have not tried this restaraunt you are missing a great dinning experience!

   The calamari appetizer was really excellent, generous portion, really nicely seasoned. My wife loved her osso bucco entre. I really enjoyed the pork chop, great browning and crust, outstanding flavor The creme brulee could have had more of a crackle crust. We were both impressed with the affogato, rich ice cream, dark espresso top it off with a sip of sambuca Exceeded our expectations, all the way around. we'll be back soon.

   I think we actually expected more Italian food on the menu. Menu was quite limited. Appetizers were good, entrees were ok, we just thought we were going to an Italian restaurant. Desserts were kind of disappointing, lacking in flavor. Servers were attentive, everyone was very nice.

   Went on Valentines Day and there was a prefixed menu which was $85 per person. The menu options weren't great and didn't feel like $85 per person quality. Service slow. The place was LOUD due to live music taking place in the bar area. Unsure if this location wants to be a sports bar or a fine dining establishment. Willing to give them another shot on a non holiday/non live music night.

   Why does this place have good ratings? For a $265 dinner for 2 the quality was not good at all! It took 25-30 mins for to served a warm drink which tasted like rubbing alcohol. My sea bass was overcooked/stringy and the server never came back after the food was dropped off. Dessert was worse than Carvel. Manager was also quite rude. Very undesirable experience.

    Nice place but they had a fixed menu for Valentine’s Day and it wasn’t a good selection Would go back on a regular day to see how the regular menu is ….
