We were recommended this place by a friend and decided to come here…read more There was 3 of us, but 2 arrived before the 3rd. We had a reservation and were told we had to wait in the waiting area for the entire party to be here before being seated, which was 1 other person. The place was rather empty, there were 2 tables with people, so im not sure why we weren't seated at a table, but we complied and went to the waiting room which consisted of a few couches and a few chairs. Once we were all present, we were seated at a table and our server, Cody, was very sweet. I decided to get the Dirty Bird sandwich. It was very big and cheesy. It had less chicken than i expected but it tasted pretty good. If we come back here, i'd like to try the pizza.

Make sure you make reservations because they're usually very busy. As for the food, I think that this is one of the better Italian restaurants I've tried in NC. The Parmagiano Crab Dip is absolutely to die for...especially when served with their freshly baked flat bread. The pasta all'Ortolana was very well seasoned and filled with veggies. I judge an Italian restaurant by their sauce & meatballs which honestly didn't disappoint. Portion sized are generous...everyone was leaving with takeout containers. The service we had was impeccable! Our server, Madison, was amazingly attentive and efficient! This will be one of our favorite haunts.

The fried ravioli was a hit; the signature "baked dough" is an appetizer pizza: do add the recommended cheese. The pasta dishes were fresh and well seasoned, the sausage and peppers could pass for the NJ specialty (a high compliment). Four out of four recommend it.

I've been here many times before and it's always been good. Today was a different story. We were…read morequickly seated. Our waitress came right over took her drink order and then gave us a few minutes to decide on our order. We placed our order and food was brought out fairly quickly. The rolls she brought out had been sitting for a while before coming to our table. They were cold and tough. Everything on the plate had different temperatures. One vegetable was piping hot yet the food not evenly cooked. The other vegetable I got was the roasted potatoes. These on the other hand were lukewarm and did not have a good taste. They almost tasted like dirt. The other person in my party said the same thing about her food being lukewarm as well. I left over half of the food on my plate. The other person I was with dead as well. Our waitress never came back to check on us until after we had finished eating. There was no routine checks to see how the food was if we needed anything or if we needed refills. When she finally did come up, she did bring refills, at that point I just said check, please. Needless to say I paid $30 for two meals and I left hungry. Another important detail. The restaurant was not busy. Other than my table, there were two other tables that had guests. And those other two tables the waiter/waitress was there every few minutes it seemed like. But our waitress was off in the wind for all I know.
