    Delicious food! Great service! They accidentally brought an unordered pasta and let us keep that one and also gave us the correct one. Scrumptious italian food. I definitely recommend the garlic bread.

    Great ambience went for a anniversary recently, servers were really nice. Came and checked up on us quite frank frequently. I had the vodka pasta wasn’t the best vodka pasta. I’ve had a little underseasoned food. I will give a three star. Don’t mind paying for good food, but wasn’t the best for the price

    Food was bland, mediocre, & over priced! The ambiance & staff were nice. I usually don’t write negative reviews on any platforms but disappointed that I cancelled my other reservation for this place. Also, they advertised that they had the “Greatest Hits menu” 7 days a week. They didn’t. My motto, “Quality over quantity”.

    Went for an early Valentine’s Day and their was a large group of guys literally standing on chairs spinning napkins in the air doing dirty gestures and the management didn’t do anything at all good was genuinely not good and tiny portions ambience was good if these guys weren’t there night completely ruined can not for the life of me understand why the staff didn’t do anything about it or even offer an apology after every table that was close to these guys asked to be moved worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had
