Full disclosure: all I got here was a drink. The drink - an espresso martini - was delightful, and my compatriots tried their signature lemoncello martinis and also HD high praise. I saw a man devour a plate of pasta on the other side of the bar. He was alone. I don't know his story, but he seemed to like the food.
We arrived on time for our reservation, and it look a while to get seated. From there we waited and waited for someone to come over, when they did we put in our drinks order, they finally came back worth them and took our order. The antipasto we ordered was so small (and we asked prior how many it would serve) we also got the stuffed mushrooms, which were not very good. The entrees were disappointing, some were cold the veal my husband got was like a piece of rubber. My dish however was very good there squid ink pasta with shrimp extra spicy. I would point out it was a Sunday evening and not busy, so Not sure why there service was so bad.
Perfectly cooked eggplant appetizer. Pasta in our entrees was fresh, homemade, and delicious. Very tasty marsala sauce. However, I would have preferred my veal to have been breaded. Lemon drop martini was top notch.Also, on a side note, when my family and I entered the restaurant, we were greeted right away by a friendly, attentive host. Sometimes that's hard to come by. Great server, and wonderful meal.
Family owned restaurant. Very great people who own this ! Food is amazing and authentic. Great atmosphere ! I highly recommend the pistachio martini! Great place for a satisfying meal and atmosphere sometimes they even have live music and it’s a vibe!
I was excited to take my wife here for her birthday because LOVES Italian food. It was very disappointing. The walls, floors, and booth seats were dirty. The food was just not good. The waitress was nice however, definitely felt rushed even though the dining room was empty. We will not be returning to this establishment.
First time here. I was excited. I love Italian food. I lived in Italy, and enjoy it. But..... Since we didn't order drinks (There's nothing wrong with people who don't drink) they treated us like the lowest priority customers. My wife and I are former servers, so we know service expectations. We were never offered the options on pasta selection. We ordered chicken marsala with ziti and it came with penne. Our Son's pasta Alfredo (which we ordered as fettuccine alfredo... not fettuccine but penne again) was not Alfredo... not sure what it was. Looked like it was milk that had curdled. With enough added parm it tasted almost like ricotta.. not sure. And the pasta wasn't cooked enough. The food was OK at best. The service was sub par. And the prices were too high for the experience they gave us. They were ignoring us.. Horrible experience. I would've paid half this at olive garden got better food and service for sure.
Let’s start off with place itself. I used to come here a lot 2 years ago before the pandemic and the food was great and everything… 2 years later thought still be the same service somewhat. I WAS WRONG ! I was pretty upset on my meal. Besides the staff being good and communicating, I think the chef or the whole kitchen got to go. I was there for 4-5pm around opening time so I kinda expected the food to be fresh. My food was warm as if it was sitting. I couldn’t even eat the rest to be honest because I felt like gagging. The meat to my meatballs was as rough as fully cooked steak and the cheese was still a block inside. I honestly think you guys should have a meeting and team up to better the place. Esp the tables and ceilings. Bathrooms were on point as should be. All I’m saying is that my food should be smoking hot esp at 5pm
BEST and freshest Italian food in all of New England!!! AMAZING place, delicious food, casual yet eloquent atmosphere, top notch customer service, attention to detail, and lots of beautiful souls!!! You certainly can tell that this family owned restaurant is run with care, love, and a passion for what they do! Thank you for your continued service to our community!
We come here often at least 2 times a month. I never have a bad meal and the drinks are outstanding! The bar is our favorite!
We just left there for Sunday lunch. Firstly service was slow but understand in this COVID world we live in with understaffed places. Our server was excellent otherwise. Not in a hurry so that was fine.I got a stuffed chix special with homemade pappardelle, it was ok 5/10. My husband, who orders veal cutlet all the time, ordered that. It tasted like a school cafeteria cutlet, very bland, thin, over cooked and tasteless with an "orange colored sauce". I am Italian, pride myself on making my own meatballs, sauce and pasta so we have a good palate for Italian red sauces.This was horrible, the minute I looked at it, I knew it was a quick sauce made with poor tomatoes as a base and not a nice red meat sauce that should be served in an authentic Italian restaurant over veal cutlet.We actually got take out during COVID and also underwhelmed but thought we would try again.Not sure an Italian chef/cook is preparing their food but it is not good. If you can't do cutlet good then you shouldn't be in business!Sorry for the bad review but it's the truth. We will not return.
