So I'm as shocked as you are that I'm giving this place 5 stars. As a jersey Italian, I was…read moreexpecting the worst, but this was the only restaurant open on 4th of July. I was delighted. Service was exceptional. Between two choices, the waitress suggested the Gnocchi Rose, and it came out bubbling. It was delicious, and did not disappoint. I almost forgot to mention that they serve warm bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was to die for. The place is really cute on the inside and perfect for a date. I had come from hiking, and it was empty with no apparent dress code. I also had a tiramisu which was a bit small but still delicious. The prices aren't terrible and the food is incredible. I would come back here, and the owner is Italian which I guessed by the quality of the food.

The spaghetti here is very good. Even my picky relative ate all of hers. The service was ok. The…read morewaiter didn't know which beers were on tap or where they were from because they didn't drink, but it seemed odd that they didn't know that for the customer base. It felt a little like we were bugging them to ask about it them. The restaurant definitely feels like it used to be a Perkins or Elmer's or other sort of diner. They've tried to level up with linen tablecloths and napkins, Italian music and a color scheme. It's workable. The pricing is a little higher than what you would expect given the environment but the food was decent. I have one complaint - they serve sliced white bread - like wonder bread - in a basket with oil and vinegar. It just doesn't match the vibe or flavors or textures you would expect. As a sourdough baker this felt lacking. Otherwise kudos. I've heard nothing but good things from friends in the area too.

We shared the halibut for dinner, and it was cooked perfectly. I also had an Irish mule that was just as good. The restaurant is described as upscale, but we were in shorts and polos and felt completely comfortable.

We were the very next in line and observed two tables that had been recently emptied and cleaned.

My wife and I walked out and will never be back again.

Never Again - Rude Employees!…read more We left this place feeling as if the employees were trying to make it so we never want to come back. Tonight we came in and while we were in the middle of ordering our food another employee answered the phone and was taking another order talking over us at the same time we were placing our order. That was the first rude interaction. We ordered a salad, small pizza and two orders of breadsticks. Instead of the food coming out together it came out at four different times. I understand the salad coming out first but the pizza and breadsticks could have come out altogether. Instead we had an additional four interactions with multiple employees none of which could muster a pleasant word to us or even a smile. All four times we received our food with no smile, no politeness whatsoever - very cold and seemingly very put off that they had to bring our food to us. It really felt as if they hated their job and were taking it out on us. We tried calling the restaurant after leaving multiple times and the phone was busy for nearly an hour. We finally got through and spoke with the new owner (son of the former owner) - our words seemingly went in one ear and out the other. They no longer have metal silverware They no longer have a soda machine They no longer have cold water They no longer have manners They no longer have our business We have been coming here for years - decades even. I wish I could say this is the first time we have had rude service - it is not but it will be the last time.
