When we got there, there was no one there. We waited a very long time to get sat. Once we got to our table, we were over looked. We got one app in before she said she would be right back. She in fact wasn’t right back. The app was honestly was the best. The pasta and the actual food was okay. The chicken had a weird flavor. The olive oil pasta was the best part for all the entrees. The rest were mediocre at best. Everyone was nice but I wouldnt be coming back.

Nothing special. Took a long time to get drinks. Had the Lasagna, it wasn’t warmed all the way through and some of the cheese wasn’t melted in the middle. Red sauce was very bright and acidic, and not real flavorful. Didn’t stick around for dessert.

For an older adult the portions were huge. The lasagna, eggplant parmigiana and manicotti were excellent but for out-of-towners we couldn’t deal with leftovers. One of our party was thrilled with all the gluten free choices.

Truly awful Italian restaurant . It took 45 minutes for the food to arrive to our table. Perhaps that’s planned so that you’re so hungry you won’t notice how bad the food is. I had the meat balls and spaghetti. The meat balls were rock hard and the sauce was too heavy on the garlic. I would have done better with jarred sauce from the supermarket and saved a lot of money. Double yuck.

Seated immediately for our reservation. Ordered drinks and the bartender attempted a blood orange cosmo for me (not something they usually make); wasn’t quite right so she asked to try again and was pretty close! Our dinners were excellent and the burratta caprese with heirloom tomatoes was delightful. Topping our dinner off with limoncello ended a perfect evening with a great server.
