Our waitress was friendly and happy to answer any questions or offer suggestions. We visited on Mother's Day, so the restaurant was offering a special menu. While it would've been nice to also view the regular menu, we understood it might be due to the fact that everything is homemade and made to order. The calamari was perfectly cooked--not overly breaded--and the bruschetta was delicious, especially since it's one of my favorite appetizers. The complimentary bread paired nicely with the olive oil. My personal favorite was the stuffed salmon, it was flavorful, and served with an orzo-style grain. The rest of the table enjoyed their meals as well, and everything we tried was thoughtfully prepared and tasty.

Less than zero stars. Tasteless food in portion sizes befitting a five-year-old…read more The writing was on the wall when we entered. The hostess was very rude and far too into herself. Seating people annoyed her as she did her best to make our group feel like they were overly burdensome by dining here. Our waiter wasn't much better. He never offered us bread or read any specials to us, and didn't refill drinks particularly well. He came to our table minutes after we sat down and asked, 'did we want something'. He said something odd the second time he came back too. At least he smiled, unlike the hostess who shows a clear disdain for people. Staff aside, believe it or not the real problem here is the food. Three of the four people at our table had the grilled mahi mahi. The cut itself was about 3x2 inches, and maybe 1/2 inch thick. If you cut it right, you got six little pieces out of it. The side was a 'salad'. This consisted of three folk full servings. And that was it. I've seen serving sizes three times this size for children under the age of 10. The dish might have been persuasive if the mahi had some flavor, but it didn't. It was cooked improperly (for all three people at our table) and seemingly without any seasoning. The fourth person at our table had a flatbread. The toppings on it could be fit into a 3x3 square and the portion size was utterly laughable. As we left, I gave thought to speaking to a manager, but a hostess that's as shallow and mean as theirs probably isn't being led by a thoughtful individual who cares for their patrons. My advice is to steer clear. If you want excellent Italian food, go elsewhere. If you want to be treated kindly, go elsewhere. If you want a serving size larger than something appropriate for a 5-year-old, go elsewhere. I can provide a dozen excellent suggestions within 20 miles. An embarrassment to Batavia, easily one the worst dining experience I've had in our area in 20 years.

They have a kind of choose your own adventure method- noodle, sauce, veggie, meat. Their noodles were very high quality, I wouldn't be surprised if they were making it themselves. The staff was very patient with my loud and confused Italian family. I'm sure we will be back for another birthday. Also the prices were very reasonable for a big group. They had a good wine selection with reasonably priced bottles. My only complaint is they are currently only serving canned cocktails. A few of us are pretty into cocktails and we were looking to get martinis that night. Hopefully they will be adding more drinks.

All were great, especially the tuna crudo! The pieces of blackened tuna are bigger compared to other restaurants with similar tuna appetizers and the sauce is incredible! We had their tiramisu for dessert. Yum!! It comes with some coffee cream smeared on the dish that pairs perfectly with it! Overall, the experience was great and we'll be back! This would be a cool place for a girls night too- they have a cute bar area for pre dinner or post dinner drinks!

Honestly, probably one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. We arrived with no wait…read moreand no reservation needed and were told the only seating available was outside. We were fine with that because there were umbrellas and plenty of shaded tables available. However, we were seated directly in the 85 degree sun with absolutely no wind. The sun was directly in our faces, we were sweating, and we simply wanted to be able to enjoy our food comfortably. We asked if we could move to one of the MANY open tables underneath the umbrellas. The hostess told us she would let us know. Another table opened, then another, and eventually there were multiple dirty tables sitting underneath the umbrellas waiting to be cleaned. My partner eventually had to go inside and ask again. The hostess then said she would have one cleaned and come move us. Our food arrived before that ever happened. At that point, we were trying to eat hot pasta and pizza while sitting directly in the blazing sun. We decided to just deal with it and try to finish our food, but our server was nowhere to be found. We eventually had to get up, go inside ourselves and ask for the check!! The same blonde hostess immediately told us, "I can get you guys a table with an umbrella." THAT was incredibly frustrating because apparently a shaded table could have been provided all along, but it wasn't offered until we physically got up and decided to leave. She then asked who our waiter was and where we had been sitting, despite being the person who had spoken to us multiple times. She couldn't even seem to locate our server. What made this even more disappointing was watching the people seated in front of us report an issue that was immediately addressed and fixed, while our request was repeatedly ignored. We didn't even receive basic consideration, an apology, or an alternative solution. We were just expected to sit outside and wait in the beaming sun, even though there were open shaded tables. We also weren't getting refills on our water. I normally don't leave reviews because I understand that things happen, but this experience made me understand exactly why reviews exist. I came in with high expectations because the food looked good, but the service completely ruined the experience and made the entire visit feel like a waste of money and time! I also have to honestly ask.. was the way we were treated influenced by the fact that we are not white? I genuinely hope that wasn't the case, but when other customers' concerns are addressed immediately while ours are repeatedly ignored, it's hard not to wonder. At the very least, I expected the hostess and staff to be trained to acknowledge customers' concerns, communicate with them, and offer a reasonable solution. Instead, we had to get up and ask for our check ourselves while sitting in 85 degree heat. Extremely disappointing experience and unfortunately not somewhere I would want to return.
