We had many different appetizers, including stuffed mushroom, fresh mozzarella, fresh ricotta on toast, and bread. The bread was good, but the mozzarella inedible. The ricotta was fantastic, but the mushrooms bland. For entrees, we ordered everything from pastas, to pork chop, to fish. My fish was delicious, and they offered to descale it for me. I was told the pasta was excellent. The servers were very helpful and kind. For dessert, our table ordered bananas foster. It is extremely sweet but as it should be. This restaurant is BYOB which is always nice. All in all, we had more good than bad but it is definitely not at the top of my list, unfortunately.

I had heard great things about this restaurant from the staff at a local pizza place, so we were…read moreexcited to give it a try. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The service was extremely slow, which wasn't entirely surprising since many other reviews mention the same issue. As for the food, the chicken tortellini soup was excellent, and the ravioli itself was good. Thankfully, I asked for the sauce on the side because it had a burnt taste. Unfortunately, the other three entrées at our table were simply not edible. We sent all three back. Our waitress was very pleasant and asked if we wanted to speak with a manager. We told her that wasn't necessary, we simply didn't want to be charged for meals we couldn't eat. Since half of our party had already finished eating, we didn't want to order replacement meals. When the bill arrived, the three returned meals were still included. At that point, we requested to speak with the manager. The manager's approach turned an already disappointing meal into an even worse experience. Instead of listening to our concerns, she repeatedly reminded us that she was "the manager," mentioning her title multiple times during the conversation. She loudly asked us several times whether we had eaten there before, creating an uncomfortable scene that seemed unnecessary. She also referred to the waitstaff as "children" and explained that they weren't authorized to adjust the bill--only managers could do that. Our response was simple: if the waitress didn't have the authority to resolve the issue, management should have been notified when we first sent the meals back. That could have avoided the entire situation. To her credit, the manager ultimately removed the returned meals from our bill. However, the way the situation was handled was unprofessional and lacked basic customer service. A little listening and empathy would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, our experience didn't improve with dessert. Based on all the positive reviews of the restaurant's bakery and desserts, we ordered four different desserts to take home. However, our order was incorrect....we received three of the four desserts we ordered, and the caramel stuffed cheesecake was replaced with a cannoli. Since I don't like cannolis, that was another disappointment. Of the desserts we did receive, the crumb cake and chocolate mousse cake were both very good. Unfortunately, the tiramisu was not enjoyable. It was disappointing that even the desserts, which had received such high praise, failed to meet our expectations overall. Sadly, despite the few items we did enjoy, the poor food quality, slow service, and especially the manager's handling of the situation left us with no desire to return. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Every detail was thoughtful, from the gorgeous floral centerpieces (still looking beautiful in my kitchen) to the signage, the name tags and napkins finished with a sprig of rosemary, and the perfect pink ribbon. Rachel and the waitstaff matched her standard. Warm, kind, and always one step ahead of what guests needed. The food brought a wave of nostalgia for our family and absolutely lived up to every memory. Every course was raved about-the lamb chops were perfect-and the kitchen handled a range of dietary needs without missing a beat. The cocktails were mixed to perfection and our guests including the children had the most lovely day! Lots of love and laughter. Thank you Gargiulos for helping make a beautiful memory.

The food was buffet style and there was definitely no shortage they kept everything well stocked. Overall, the food was good for a party setting. Nothing that blew me away, but definitely not bad either. Service was okay. The staff was around when needed, but I did have to go track someone down a few times especially when looking for coffee. One highlight was the ice cream bar, which was a nice touch. The ice cream itself was actually really good and a fun addition to the event. When you first walk in, there's also a bar area the bartender was friendly, though the bar space itself is on the smaller side. Overall, not a bad place to host a party. Good space, solid food for the setting, and a decent experience.

There were quite a few people showing up the same time as we were. We were immediately seated after arriving. The restaurant is small, with the front area consisting of the pizza kitchen and a couple of tables. Beyond a door to the right is a narrow dining room with bright yellow walls and tables seating 2-4 people lined up against the walls. The tables are covered in white tablecloths and framed paintings adorn the walls. We ordered the following: Toscanella salad, which has romaine and iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, onions, green and black olives and your choice of dressing. We chose blue cheese dressing. It was pretty good and fresh. Eating this made us all feel healthy. LOL. Calamari fradiablo (app) - this was delicious and spicy. This dish inspired Hubs to make it. LOL. Before ordering the appetizer, we asked our server if it was deep fried or sautéed. We were glad to hear that it was sautéed and not fried. The app also came along with garlic bread and it was pretty good. Shrimp and scallops D Angelo from the dinner special, which has jumbo shrimp and sea scallops sautéed with garlic, basil, diced tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil in a plum tomato sauce served over angel hair pasta. This was delicious! The scallops were fresh and rare. The shrimp wasn't overcooked and we loved it. Everything about it was great. I didn't realize that it came with soup or salad until we saw the bill. Veggie pizza large- Hubs liked it a lot. Daughter liked it as well. We were seated in this narrow dining room with their pizza oven on the other side of the wall. The heat came over to our side and it was really hot. It happened to be on a day we had a heatwave. Lol. The only parking they have is outside the restaurant. We tried to look for a parking on the side but there weren't any so we were lucky to have found a parking right in front. It was a little nerve-racking backing up into the street, but it was OK. Parking is a little tight. Service was friendly and quick. I'm glad we stopped by for dinner! Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu.
