I like this place but it doesn't wow me although I must say the service is pretty good. My friend dipped her sleeve in pasta sauce and our server quickly gave her soda to clean, really good service and shows how much she cares.The pasta tastes good but the lamb chop I ordered is not that good.Overall, is good.
Enjoyed Father’s day dinner on the patio. Staff were wearing masks. We ordered the lamb chops (seasoned well and cooked perfectly), braised duck papperdelle (soft, chewy, fresh noodles with really tender duck, a bit oily though), and 2 kids meals (cheese pizza & spaghetti - both were hits with the kids and large portions). Beautiful interior decor.
Enjoyed a lovely dinner here for my cousin's birthday. The food was delightfully tasty with generous portions, the ambiance was great, and the drinks were delicious. Our friendly waiter made sure everything was to our satisfaction throughout the evening. They even wrote "Happy birthday" and included a candle on the tiramisu dessert we ordered (the menu says it's for two, but it can easily satisfy four!). We had a great time and will definitely be back.
We booked a dinner reservation for a large group as we had a birthday celebration. We got to try a variety of menu items. Highly recommend trying the stracciatella cheese for an appetizer. The food was good but nothing really stood out to us except the appetizer. We went on a busy Saturday so our dishes took a super long time to be served and the servers were not really attentive. The restaurants atmosphere was nice but the overall experience and food lacked a bit.
Very positive experience. Came here for Mother’s Day dinner. The service was good but a bit rushed. The food was excellent. Booth seats were comfortable.Had a Rosita cocktail, Caesar salad and Stracciatella cheese (delicious !) for starters , lamb t-bone chops with fries, pork pappardelle (nice spice), and classic chicken parmigiana.Total bill $210.
Despite the chance to visit with a dear friend tonight, I could barely eat my dinner as it was THE most unappealing looking pasta dish I have ever seen!! It looked like a bowl of bugs, ugh! I mentioned this to the server who just explained the pasta was dark because of sqid ink which I was aware of from the menu description. What I don't understand is why any chef would think this is an appealing pasta choice considering the enjoyment of food is beyond our sense of taste. At the end of the meal Independent of my experience my friend said, I don't think I would come back and I couldn't agree more. $28.95 for a barely touched meal and no compensation.
Where do I begin? Lets just say by the time I left this place I was exhausted from explaining and asking for things from multiple people! Pros : -Pastas were fresh made and good but nothing terribly special in terms of flavour -Portion sizes were decent -Best Tiramisu I've ever had -Good location Cons: -"Specialty" drink that the waiter sold us on was sparkling water and some raspberries so no taste at all -service was terrible (more details below) -waiter kept forgetting stuff -busser came by twice to take our plates even though we didn't even eat yet Service - OMG just for this reason I will never go back. The saving grace was the manager (didn't get his name) who tried his best to fix the problem and even surprised us with free tiramisu (which was divine). If I explain what happened in detail you will be exhausted like I was by the time I left. Long story short we found some kind of bloody stringy mucus like thing in the middle of my sons alfredo dish. When we called the waiter over to show him, his explanation was that it could have come from the bolognese dish. We said "but he had alfredo" so how do you explain that. He brought it back to the chef and came back to say that maybe it was from the vein of the shrimp which we assumed but how does it end up in the middle of his dish raw and still bloody?! Waiter tried some long winded explanation that made no sense. Sh*t happens and we get it but don't make it worse by trying to justify why it ended up there. By now we were already annoyed because he forgot my daughter's drink, the busser had cleared our plates before we were even served our food and tried to pack my sons dinner while he was literally still eating it. Two managers had come by to explain and apologize for the mishap. The one manager took the alfredo dish off the bill and made us a smaller portion to go at no charge. The waiter then came over and said he would ask them to make another small one and charge us for the small and not the full. I just sent him over to the manager because we were not paying for this portion. When we were done with all this, the waiter asked if we wanted a box for our dessert. We said yes please because we were ready to leave. He said ok. We literally watched him walk over to other tables to talk and take orders. I mean, its just getting a box that 3 seconds ago you said you were going to bring us. The manager then walked by and asked us if we wanted a box. Point is nobody communicates with anybody in this place. Honestly I've never experienced this at any restaurant so its super disappointing for a relatively pricey restaurant. This whole mother's day night was just a disaster. I went here based on the reviews. It was our 2nd restaurant outing since the pandemic as a family. Man I was super disappointed. I almost want to give up on trying new places if this is the bar that I have to compare other restaurants to. Well that was not the super short version of what went down lol. Again the saving grace was the manager that brought us some dessert otherwise it would have been a 1 star review.
My friends and I decided to try this restaurant out on a Friday night. The restaurant vibes are so nice and the decor is pretty and elegant. I love that there’s an option to get half portions because we wanted to try different appetizers and sides. The half portions of the pastas were decent for 10 bucks and we were content after all the sides. The pasta sauce were super creamy but we did find some of the pasta was not quite al dente and under cooked. The crispy mozzarella is a must get as it’s super crispy on the outside and full of mozzarella cheese on the inside.
We booked a reservation for a large group on a Friday night. I ordered the eggplant parm with spaghetti. I typically don't get a simple pasta dish, but that evening I wanted to try something different. I enjoyed the dish and it was exactly what I wanted that evening. I think it's great for someone who doesn't eat meat - simple and tasty.
This used to be a great go-to even before pandemic. Today, we order two pastas. Both Large/entree size. The one was fine, the second was barely a half full smaller box with larger noodle with lots of space/air between them. If this was a thinner or more easily squashed down pasta, I could see a smaller box being a large...but this... not worth the price. AND when I asked them as a double-check, they assured me this is a large.....sad. They didn't obviously even look inside. (photos showing the boxes for scale and a photo of the smaller box barely half full) A mistake would've been fine, but the denial is what really gets me.I've ordered from them from the first weeks they went online. I've ordered this specific pasta repeatedly, this is a sad change.
