Being from NY we are used to great Italian food, we were very excited to try this restaurant, as it…read morecame very highly recommended. Sadly, It was average at best. We got several dishes and shared and weren't overly impressed with anything. The lasagna stood out the most, in a bad way. It has some sort of cumin or Mexican flavoring, which reminded us more of an enchilada. The whole concept of waiting outside an hour prior to opening, seems like a way of making it more exclusive but we found it as disorganized as it sounds. We got there at 4pm, for a 5pm open. We were the 3rd in line, yet everyone just pushes through the moment the door opens. It's got a little rough battling through the crowd trying to fight for a table. Once you get in you have to wait 20 mins just to get a drink order in and then it's quite a long wait to order your meal, get the meal and get the check. Not sure why a traditional reservation system wouldn't be mor efficient for everyone, including the staff. Needless to say, we won't be back.

We took our time settling in and started with the mozzarella and focaccia (so good!) and the meatball--because you can't visit an Italian place without the essentials. For our mains, we ordered the short rib ragu and the verde lasagna. The lasagna was especially memorable--you could really taste the fresh spinach, which gave it a light, refreshing flavor. To top it all off, the wonderful Mr. Flannegan came out to sing "Happy Birthday" and brought their amazing cannoli. Such a fun and memorable touch to an already fantastic meal!

Ambiance: vibrant, a place humming with activity, busy, bustling but not noisy…read more Service: fast, efficient and responsive; we got a table for four without any wait, had our questions about the menu answered, iced tea kept getting refilled without interruptions Food: seafood is what we decided to go with as there were very limited options for the vegetarians. Food presentation was deliberate. The couple onion rings as a garnish on Salmon, and flounder was enough to scratch the good fried food itch. Broccoli could be less cooked, baked potato, salad, asparagus and red snapper did not disappoint. It was a fun evening. Next time, I might pack a board game We left intrigued by their Monday and Tuesday BOGO specials!!! Will be back!

Unfortunately the salad came out AFTER the pizza...approximately 10 minutes later. Obviously this is odd...well at least to me We even got dessert and split a coffee. The dessert was good ..l it was coconut strawberry flan like dessert. It was okay except for "cinnamon toast " like crunchy items and the description of "macerated strawberries " . (Which sounds gross from the medical definition of "macerated"-- I digress). Overall both coffee and dessert were good..but again the timing was off. Coffee came out way too early or the dessert came out way too late--as we think it's nice to have something sweet to accompany your coffee. Again timing was off and not just a little... but enough to say ... how did this item get here so early( or late). Anyways....food and service was g good....timing was off. Just an FYI

What an experience! Great food, attentive service. We had a party of 4 before a show at the Peace…read moreCenter next door. The host let us know they would hold our leftovers and we could pick them up after the show -- we didn't end up having any, but what a great service! Will definitely keep that in mind for the future. The staff kept our deadline in mind so we got to the show in plenty of time. So many amazing food and drink options, it was hard to choose. The wine and cocktail lists are enough to give you options but not overwhelming. Food has something for everyone, all Italian options. We tried the focaccia with ricotta and Caesar salad for starters (not pictured, we were so hungry!), then the agnolotti and pansotti pasta dishes. I will be dreaming about the pansotti. The agnolotti was good, although a bit sweet for me and a small portion size compared to everything else we had. A friend ordered the sausage pizza and it was a generous personal portion big enough to share. For dessert, the affogato. Ice cream could have had more vanilla for me, but still a delicious end to a scrumptious meal. Ambiance reminds me of a sunny day in Italy: lots of blues and whites, tile, and wood surfaces. Snappy casual dress code recommended. Table, booth, bar, and outside seating available. Restrooms are across the entrance and inside the hotel. No-step entrance with a roundabout drop off option, and accessible seating available. Parking available on the street and in nearby parking garages.

The restaurant got very busy and loud very quickly. We had to wait a while before our orders were taken so asked for some bread. We received nice warm bread with a Mediterranean dip.

I came starving and forced myself to eat the subpar pizza. The crust from Trader Joe's is more exciting, the sauce was average, and the toppings were missing/not great quality.
