We used to eat here once, sometimes twice, a week years ago, but we stopped because the food and…read moreservice had gone downhill. We decided to give it another chance tonight and ordered takeout, hoping things had improved. Unfortunately, they haven't. The person taking our order read it back to us three different times, and it was still wrong. Our order was over $90 and included a large pizza, Chicken Marsala with fettuccine (which we even paid an upcharge for), and Chicken Parmesan. We asked if we could substitute the included salads for Caesar salads, even if we had to pay the difference, but were told they no longer allow substitutions. That was disappointing but understandable, so we ordered a separate Caesar salad instead. When we got home, the Chicken Marsala had no fettuccine--and in fact, no pasta at all, despite paying extra for it. The Marsala sauce was so watery it looked more like broth than sauce, and it came with only two small pieces of chicken. The chicken was tough and honestly some of the worst we've ever had. It was completely inedible. The Chicken Parmesan wasn't any better, and neither meal was eaten. The pizza was just okay, but since the two entrées were inedible, there wasn't enough food for the four of us. For over $90, this was an extremely disappointing meal. We gave this restaurant another chance after years away, but unfortunately, it reminded us why we stopped coming in the first place.

Our experience was extremely disappointing--without question the worst restaurant experience we've…read moreever had. When we arrived, there was no host at the front, and we stood waiting for about seven minutes before anyone acknowledged us and seated us, even though the restaurant was not busy. Our server approached the table, abruptly dropped off two glasses of ice water, and asked, "What are you drinking today?" without introducing herself or even greeting us. We ordered wine, but after waiting 15 minutes, we noticed our glasses had been prepared and were sitting on the bar while she walked past us several times without bringing them over. When my husband politely asked if she could bring the wine, she responded, "I have three people ahead of you." We explained that the wine had already been sitting there for over 10 minutes, which seemed to annoy her. We ordered fish and steak, then waited another 30 minutes before our salads finally arrived. Unfortunately, the salads were poor quality and didn't even appear fresh. At that point, we had completely lost our patience and decided to leave without finishing our meal. We will never return and would not recommend this restaurant based on our experience.

My Ravioli di Mare was delicious with excellent sauce - shrimp were decent - doubt if they're local. My partner's Strozzapreti Chianti was also an excellent choice. Very nice noodles. Salads were very good. Drinks were good. Restaurant was nice. The not so good - I made a reservation for two. So when we got there only two tables in the restaurant were occupied. We were placed right next to a couple whom I believe thought we were uncomfortably close. No reason for that as the place wasn't busy and we could've sat elsewhere. The place is expensive. More than it should've been. But that doesn't detract from the food which was very good so the price isn't a show-stopper. All except for the limoncello desert. Tasted like it was store bought - expect better for nearly $11 a slice. But the topper for us was - With just two tables occupied - the other couple had left - a Medical professional (who most likely just got off her shift) came in by herself looking for a table. She was told they couldn't accommodate her - they were closing early and she was turned away. The place was no where near closing time - no closed sign on the door. We both found that off-putting. Hence the 3 stars which otherwise would've been 4. Whether we will return there. Si' o No? I'll leave it at that... Buona sera. Buona sera.

This place is the opposite of a chain restaurant. It's clearly a family business that takes pride in preparing every dish. The service was outstanding; the staff was attentive and on top of everything. My wife and I split an appetizer: meatballs with marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese. The dish was perfectly executed. I found it hearty, satisfying, and full of authentic Italian flavor. The menu features many daily specials, and today the veal parmesan caught my eye. The cutlets were beautifully prepared. Pounded thin, they were tender, and topped with a rich, fresh marinara sauce. The cheese was bubbly and golden. All the elements came together in a dish finished to perfection. The pasta was homemade spaghetti, cooked tender yet firm, and generously coated in marinara sauce. I would order this meal again, but there are so many other items on the daily specials list to try. I can't wait to come back.
