We made a reservation 5 days prior. We were sat at a table immediately when you walk in, where all of the waiters & hostess stand & greet people. My husband is 6'3" and he was bumped into numerous times. We asked to be moved & hostess told us she would check upstairs. She never got back with us. We ate there, but were not able to talk to each other without yelling. The hostess yelled directly over us several times to the waiters at the back of the room (across whole room). The waiters stood directly over us (their gathering spot while not serving), & we felt like they were staring at us & if we talked all of them could hear. It was not comfortable at all! It is our favorite italian food, but not sure if we can go back because this experience was miserable & we were very sorry we went. We were hoping to go & relax! We told the hostess how we felt when we were leaving and she just said they had a lot of reservations to fill. I told her yes we were one of them, and when we got there, there were several other tables we could have sat at! It's really ashamed since we like their food.
