Since their website suggests reservations, I guess I assumed it's a fancy date spot. It's not. It's one big room with tables along the perimeter, and every time the door opened, we were hit with a blast of cold air. The bar is located in the same room, with just a low partition separating the areas. The polenta fries were the star of the show; not a trace of grease and served with two dipping sauces. The meals were surprising. We were expecting pasta and received potatoes and vegetables. The chicken piccata was heavily acidic. I like lemon, but this was a bit much. Service was friendly and I guess I'd return if I was in the area, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to visit again.

Updated review after new ownership. Do not let the good reviews from previous owners fool you…read more There is certainly potential here, but after my third take-out order I am left disappointed again and I will not be trying again. The staff are not friendly whatsoever and I felt like I was inconveniencing them by picking up my food. Every time the food took way longer than I was told. I don't mind waiting, but just tell me not to come for longer so I'm not sitting there waiting. This last time they told me 35 minutes and it took 65 minutes so I was sitting in the dining room for 30 minutes waiting. They For food, there is potential. The first time I ordered the birria. The flavors of the meat were wonderful, and the portion size was generous, but the tacos were very greasy/soggy. Maybe because I got them to go... The second time I ordered a small al pastor pizza. The pictures they posted on Facebook looked delicious. But mine came without the onions or cilantro which was a bit disappointing. Third time I ordered a birria pizza which took over an hour and was very undercooked. I was hoping the new owners would do well but I don't see that happening and unfortunately do NOT recommend this place.

When we showed up 10min early for our reservation, the hostess team seemed overwhelmed with the rush of the holiday. They weren't prepared it seemed, we eventually got sat close to 10min after our reservation. Our waiter was a young man and he was great. Very nice and attentive despite having multiple large parties to handle. I started with the French onion soup which was so delicious. It was filled with onions and pieces of bread with so much flavor. For my meal I got the Baked Salmon which I loved. The piece of Salmon was huge! My favorite part of the meal was dessert. I got the cannoli which I loved every single bite. The chocolate shell was delicious, but the filling inside was even better. I thought overall they did a good job and everyone else in my party loved their meal.

They do a coat check and the bar area and sitting nearby is super trendy appearing with couches and well lit social gathering spots right near the front of the restaurant. They also have quieter areas on the side and back where we sat that is more peaceful if you want. The food was very good. A few things were slightly off which is why I dropped this to a 4 rather than a 5. The ricotta and honey app was solid but the bread was a bit too charred and the bang for buck on the order was a bit low for what you get. Conversely, the special zucchini flower with zucchini spaghetti was out of this world good. It was sad that you only get 1 flower in the order as it is not really able to be shared, but it is worth the taste if they have it on the menu the night you go. The main dishes were very good. The pasta tasted fresh as if homemade though both the penne and lasagne sheets were a tad thick for our tastes. However the taste was on point and I have to say that was one of the better lasagne's I've tasted in some time. The flatbread pizza was probably the biggest hit for the table. Good balance of sweet, tart and protein with the peppery arugula giving a nice touch of freshness to the dish. It is big too, plenty enough as a meal for 1 or to share between 2 if getting apps and other things. The nice thing is no issues of greasiness or feeling bloated when we finished and left. The food was filing and very tasty and this is worth a trip back. I do think the wine is a bit on the pricey end compared to many places I've seen around lately. The desert menu looked like it would be a hit for us, but we had no room after our meals. Even the kids enjoyed the food quite a bit though we did have some ala vodka left over at the end.

I'm back after a long hiatus (a year?!). The restaurant is located on 45 East Center St. in…read moreManchester, CT. It looks like there is a brand new, very expanded Happy Hour menu. The restaurant is owned by UCONN Women's Basketball Coach, Geno Auriemma (he also owns The Hollow restaurant at the Manchester Country Club). The bartender quickly brings over a glass of ice water (which I will kindly refuse). For my first drink, I'm having a Manhattan. This is made with rye whiskey (Four Roses) sweet vermouth, a couple dashes of Angostura bitters and garnished with a brandied cherry. Wow! This is good! It's chilled, perfectly balanced and well garnished. I like the use of the single, large ice cube to slow the dilution process. These used to be served martini style about a year ago. It is no longer. It seems I am by my lonesome except for a few tables. It's early and on a Monday. For my first appetizer, I am getting the green olives and cheese cubes. This is grana! Grana (in the context of Italian cuisine) refers to a family of hard, mature, granular cheeses primarily used for grating. Bourbon goes well with this! Italian food can be a high cholesterol fest, but I'll try and minimize it. I do like the peaceful ("elevator") music in here! It is very relaxing. For my first item, I'm having the Baby Iceberg. This is pretty! I like that they give you extra dressing on the side! I love this light ranch dressing! Next up, I'm having the Meatballs. I'm guessing these are Nonna's recipe (like at The Hollow). Oh yeah! The plate is nice and warm! These are absolutely delicious! It helps to add some Spicy Dadda Area 51 hot sauce. Now we're talkin'! That's better! The bartender also offered some bread. Sure! This bread is good! It's nice and darn and soft. What's better than that? I like to dip into the meatball sauce. I'm also having a bottle of Saratoga sparkling, carbonated spring water. Ah! This is good! I like hoe it I served in a glass with a lime garnish. For my next food item, I'm trying the Shrimp Cocktail (four piece). This is a new item on the menu. Prawn cocktail, also known as shrimp cocktail, is a seafood dish consisting of shelled, cooked prawns in a Marie Rose sauce or cocktail sauce, served in a glass. This is actually served on a plate. Sprinkle that lime! These shrimp are huge! I love the cocktail sauce! It is strong! For my next drink, I'm having the Blood Orange Martini made with blood orange juice (strained with about 2 blood oranges), Smirnoff vodka, lemon juice, St Germain elderflower syrup, Sparkling water and a sliced blood orange or mint sprig to garnish. This has a dark magenta color. It tastes pretty good! For my next item, I'm having the Beef Bruschetta made with marinated tenderloin and pickled onion over rustic bread. This is a chance to have a little red meat. This is very good! It's streak tips on a toast point! This is great! What's better than this?! Now I'm on to the Price Fixe Menu! For $39, you can't go wrong! The bartender couldn't believe I ate all that! I'm not even close to done! For my next "starter", I'm having the Aura Salad. This is made with mixed greens, cucumber, pickled onion, tomato, Parmesan (not for me) and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. This is good! I love the dressing here! For my last drink, I'm having a Cosmopolitan made with is a sweet-tart pink cocktail that's part of the Gimlet cocktail family. It's typically made with Smirnoff vodka, Cointreau or triple sec, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice, and served in a martini glass with a lime wedge. Ah! This is good! Nice and strong! This is a perfect Cosmo! For my entree, I'm having the Atlantic Salmon (cooked medium). The Atlantic salmon is a speciesof ray-finned fish in the family Salmonidae. It is the third largest of the Salmonidae, behind Siberian taimen and Pacific Chinook salmon, growing up to 1 m (3.3 ft) in length. Atlantic salmon are found in the northern Atlantic Oceanand in rivers that flow into it. Most populations are anadromous, hatching in streams and rivers but moving out to sea as they grow where they mature, after which the adults seasonally move upstream again to spawn. This plate is hot! I love the fingerling potatoes! Sprinkle that lemon! I love the broccoli stalks! For dessert, I'm having mango sorbet. Ah!!! No cholesterol and delicious! This is such a classy place! What a great meal here!

Louise arrived once we were seated and took our drink orders and was very good on ensuring the drinks were exactly what was needed. We ordered their soup of the day, beef vegetable, pasta with butter, house side salad, and large meat lovers pizza. The soup had plenty of beef chunks in it along with some nice vegetables in a great broth. The pasta was cooked perfectly and had plenty of butter with it. As always the side salad was good sized with green peppers, cucumbers, carrots, (left out the tomatoes as requested) and then plenty of blue cheese dressing. The pizza came piping hot and heavily loaded with sausage, bacon, pepperoni, and hamburger and the right amount of cheese. This is what gives them the 5 star rating as the pizza was one of the best that I've had in a long time. The flavor of all the meats and the quantity was amazing and definitely will be another one that will be chosen in the future. The restaurant has recently had a makeover and has a very comfortable seating combination of individual tables and booths. And, as always, the restaurant was decorated for the latest holiday, in this case Easter, and looks very festive.

If you like Greek style pizza (a bit thicker), the pizza was very good. Crispy crust. I had a small cheese pizza. It definitely fulfilled my craving. I did overhear another table ordering their pizza with extra cheese -I think I'll do the same next time. My husband had a small pizza with pepperoni & black olives - a decent amount of toppings. We were there on a Tuesday night - so not very crowded. The restaurant is big. The booths are comfortable & clean. However, our server was either overwhelmed or I'm not exactly sure why we were consistently overlooked. We just wanted a refill on our sodas or some water. We've been here before - dinner with friends or attended an event (wedding, fundraiser). We will be back and hopefully the service will be better.
