The place and people were fine. Nothing more, nothing less.The food however, left a lot to be desired. I had an entrée of smelts which were a bit soggy but otherwise, passable, and that's where the compliments end. As a main I had the manicotte and never in my life have I had such a horrible manicotte. The filling was grainy and seriously unpleasant un the mouth. I've had better manicotte from a frozen bag. While manicotte is a difficult plate to make look appealing, mine was clearly dumped on the plate, envoking less than desirable imagery. I shared a bite with my partner and it's a good thing I did because otherwise I wouldn't have finished even one of those monstrocities. Members of my group got a meat dish that they were equally unpleased with. The sause paired with their dish was just god awful. The sides for most people's dishes were extremely basic amounting to steamed vegetables.They need to seriously consider reworking their entire menu. As is, it is the embodiment of souless italian american cooking.Considering the price, this quality of food was not acceptable. The cherry on top was a default 18% service charge because we were a group.

The food wasn't as good as I expected for a more pricey restaurant like this. It wasn't all bad, but the breaded zucchini was close to burnt, the dip too vinegary to use. The fries were also close to burnt, but the dipping sauce was good. We had rolls, but no butter. The bruchetta was very good. The salad was far too vinegar-y to enjoy. The salmon was good and was a good size, but the grill lines on it tasted like dirty grill, so it diminished the flavor.For me, I had enough appetizers and so on that the main dish was enough for me, and I know that it's usual to put less sides for presentation, but my friend was complaining that there was only a small potato, cut in two and a few vegetables with it (we had the same main).I had a sangria and later a mimosa (my first of these ever). I honestly don't remember how the sangria was, but I remember not liking the mimosa, but then, I attribute that to me just not liking mimosas.The service was good.As a foodie, I won't be returning though.

This Italian restaurant was a pleasant surprise! We were quite surprised at how empty the restaurant was midday on a weekday, but the dishes we ordered were great. Our dishes were very tasty and came out quickly. The ambiance within the rest was quite modern and comfortable, with a clean dining room and restrooms. Our waiter was quite friendly as well. My only disappointment was that the pasta used for their dishes is predominantly dried pasta and not fresh, in house made pasta.

Nice place. Friendly service. The pistachio tartufo was very nice. The linguine pescatore was very well done. Definitely recommend

We went for a friend's birthday party. They were nice enough to keep the birthday cakes in the fridge and service them ( even though they were not from the restaurant). The food was good, no complaints, but not memorable. Staff were nice but seemed overwhelmed when we added people to the table ( you think this would be good for the restaurant and their tip, but they seemed irritated). We have reservations for 7 but only got appetizers around 9. The service was very long!

Came here for dinner back in September and the place was packed. We were lucky to get a table and the food and service was great.We started off with complementary bread, which they served with pickled peppers, black olives, and an olive oil-balsamic vinegar mix. I ordered the Chicken Parmagiana and this is the first place I've had it where the chicken wasn't overcooked and dry.I recommend coming here for dinner and its in a great location to explore downtown afterwards.

Great food and good service. Our server was a tad grumpy but I think he's just fed up with covid. Rolled his eyes when we asked for dessert haha. Ah well I tipped him anyways.Seriously though the pasta is wonderful.

Had dinner with a group of friends. Choices were varied but quality as well.The chicken Marsala was really good. Fried calamari was nice and tender and bigger tubes. Antipasto play isExcellent to shared for 4-6 people nicely.However, fried zucchini was not good at all. Too drenched in oil and not crunchy enough outside. Pasta plates tasted stale.Overall. For close to $100/ person. Expected more.

If I could leave no stars I would. Our waitress had zero interest in being there let alone serve us. Spent more time chatting with her coworkers than tending to her 3 tables. Food was note good, the cream sauce was like water, the seafood linguine dish was not good- could definitely tell that everything was frozen, the pasta was over cooked. The dj was way to loud, I had to yell at the person next to me and they still couldn’t hear me lol definitely overpriced. Would not recommend.

The food was wonderful, but unfortunately the worst service I’ve ever had. I’m usually quite patient as I was in this industry for ten years, but there was a half hour wait to be seen. The waitress was then rude to everyone in our party except one guy, there were no quality checks, and we had to hunt someone down to bring our bill while they were closing the restaurant around us. Additionally, we brought in a birthday cake and explicitly told the staff it was a surprise for one of the guests, then they talked about it in front of the guest and ruined the surprise. When they brought the cake out, the plopped it down and didn’t bring any utensils for us. I’m very disappointed in this service. The food was excellent though, would recommend for take out.
