Very solid. Great service and food was very good

My husband grow up in Italy and he’s very picky about his Italian food and sauces. Fresh tomato shrimp scampi pasta sometimes is not on the menu ask for it, you will not regret. Also must try Bronzino, and all the salads on the menu.

Amazing place

It is always great. We go there a lot during the week.

Wonderful and friendly wait staff. The food was excellent.

When I pay high prices for Italian food I expect it to be excellent. This food was mediocre. The Bolognese was nothing special; the Risotto was bland. When a restaurant is 4 or 5 stars I expect to have something better than wooden chairs. Also, I find it insulting that such a highly rated restaurant hands their guests pieces of paper for a menu. I have never received 3 pieces of 8 x 10 paper as a menu in a 5 Star restaurant before. The menu should have been in a booklet covered by plastic or on a chalkboard--not xeroxed paper. It really shows "No Class."

Nice and quiet too

My wife and I were excited to go this place as we heard so much about it. The experience turned out to be a very poor one. First, the service was poor. The waiter was less than hospitable to my pregnant wife and simply pointed at the table where we were to sit. Then service was amazingly slow throughout the dinner. The food, mediocre at best. The calamari was fried in old oil and had zero texture. Entrées were average with absolutely nothing special about them. Take this for what it’s worth. I won’t be going back.

Excellent food and service.

Always good!!!!!!!
