We had to wait a little for our reservation but it's fine. You can't make people get up and leave. We enjoyed watching the two guys in the kitchen work and I perused the gelato case. They brought us to a nice two top on the covered part of the outside of the restaurant. Spectacular views of the lake. Service was prompt. I had wine and Jeff had a cocktail. The cocktail menu did not appeal to me; my wine was fantastic. Of course I had to start with the meatballs. They were so good. For dinner I had the salmon fresca- a pasta dish, which is not my typical dish (i usually get beef!) but it sounded so good. I was very pleased with it and my husband loves fish so he was thrilled and shared with me. He also ordered the mahi mahi which comes over risotto and loved it. We were grateful for the complimentary bread and dipping sauce. Yum! They told us their desserts were homemade so we shared the cheesecake. It was better than I expected! I'm not a cheesecake fan, but I had a couple bites! What a wonderful date night for us. Thank you! We took our leftovers to go. I want more of those meatballs! Be sure to order them.

I confess, I almost always order the Gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce. I add shrimp and mushrooms. Little pillows of heaven. Awesome.

Service is friendly and fun.

The place is very cool and feels way more intimate than it was as Prairie Bay. The bar on the left is fun and small enough to be buzzing on weekdays. We had a group of 6 and ordered several apps and drinks and dinner. For apps we tried the Bruschetta (nice and crisp and fresh), the Meatballs (good texture but lacking in seasoning), and the Artichoke Dip (tasty dip and crispy ravioli should be the thing to dip in everything.). I had the Short Rib (very good meat, the potatoes and veggies needed way more seasoning and some fat on them, they were too dry). I tasted the Chicken Marsala (Very juicy and tasty version of this), the Seafood Manicotti (nice, fairly light sauce on perfectly cooked manicotti), the Bolognese (pretty good sauce that lacked a little depth of flavor), and the Short Rib Rigatoni (the same good short rib on al dense pasta with a goat cheese and pea sauce which sounds weird but worked well). The server was new and struggled a bit managing orders and the timing of courses (some apps came out with entrees.) Overall a good start, I see them fixing things and getting better, and the atmosphere is really fun, so that's a huge plus.

They have a pizza buffet on Wednesdays for $17 but add on the salad bar and that's an additional charge around $6. Plenty of parking in the side lot.

Unfortunately, the food was some of the most disappointing Italian we've had, especially for the price. The "truffle fries" were basically lukewarm shoestring fries, the pesto linguine and alfredo both came with spaghetti noodles instead of the pasta advertised, and the burrata bruschetta arrived in a plastic container loaded with onions with rock hard bread on the side. The arancini was extremely mushy, the fresh house bread was hard enough to knock on a table, and overall the presentation felt more like takeout from a former fast casual spot than an Italian restaurant charging over $100 for dinner. Oddly enough, the only thing our family mildly enjoyed were the kids' butter noodles. Really wanted to like this place, but sadly we wouldn't return.

However, I've been there a couple times since my aborted review, and they've earned the extra star. The pizza is good, just a little heavy on the cheese for my tastes. One of the sizes comes out in an odd oval shape that fits the platter on which it is served. Odd but cool. More recently, a group of us stopped in for fish fry and whatever else was on the menu. Our waitress actually ran to get a cinnamon shaker from the kitchen to please one of the more finicky eaters in our group. The service has always been excellent. I had the fish fry and salad that night, and both were very good. If you are looking for some Italian dishes, pizza, or fish, you can't go wrong here.
