We waited 45 minutes for two drinks, the food was a very small portion, not good at all. I’d say the food was garbage. It was a horrible experience for over priced trash. Restaurant supervisor Evan John was our server, he was slow as molasses in winter. Don’t dine here. It was horrible.

We visited on New Year's Eve with a reservation and chose their $65 special, which included a three-course meal and a glass of champagne. We arrived 10mins early, expecting to wait, but were seated right away, which we appreciated. We got water promptly, but after that, we waited 25min without any further interaction. During this time, the manager walked past our table multiple times and stood near us but didn’t acknowledge us until he noticed we had the drink menu he needed. He asked if someone had taken our drink order, and when we said no, he promised to send someone over. 5-7min later, a staff member who had been bussing tables and delivering food came to take our drink and meal orders. For the first course, I chose the Caprese salad, and my boyfriend ordered the green chili soup. The soup was delivered quickly, along with what the waitress called a "tasting" placed in the middle of the table—two small skewers of food. We initially thought this was a special addition, but when we asked for a spoon for the soup and my salad, we were told the skewers were the salad. This was disappointing, as it looked nothing like the full Caprese salad the restaurant had advertised on Instagram. While the flavors were good, the portion and presentation were underwhelming. For the main course,we both had the short rib, which was flavorful and well-prepared. Dessert was chocolate mousse cake, which we enjoyed. However, when we requested the champagne included with the meal, we were brought a single glass of red wine for 2 people. The wine was not only the wrong drink but was also served hot. This substitution, without explanation beforehand, was incredibly frustrating. Overall, while the food was good, the experience fell far short of expectations. The service was disorganized, and what we received in terms of food and drink did not align with the advertised menu. This restaurant has great potential,but the lack of attention to detail and poor service left us very disappointed

They advertise music from 6-9, but since not crowded the musician quit at 7. Since this was one of main reasons we came we were very disappointed. In addition, they ran out of pepperoni, so could not get a pizza. Service was good.

The food was very good. Aida was a great server. However I was very disappointed that they did not bother to update their online menu. I went expecting to have lamp chops which they have not had for a very long time.

For our anniversary dinner we chose to eat here. We have been here before and the food was outstanding. Don't let the fact that the restaurant sits on the street level of the DoubleTree hotel distract you from giving this "right out of the Sopranos" dining experience a try. The server, Elena was amazing, the chef, known by some as Chewie, Jesus, is exceptional. As a food patron I am struck and in admiration of the attention to culinary attention he places into every dish and he is a reflection of the ownership and management of the restaurant's commitment to overall dining experience. If the weather is nice - you can also sit upstairs on the 7th floor terrace by the pool so benefit by the fact the restaurant is in a hotel. But no matter where you sit, it is the food you will remember. It is a slice of New York level Italian dining. The salads are bright and fresh, prepping you for some of the best pizza or pasta or main dish you can get. We had a craving for Pollo Parmigiana, we ordered salad, the pollo, pizza and the Special. The dough, the pasta, the sauces are made we exceptional attention, perfect texture, and balance and its the flavor layered sauces you'll remember.
