Outstanding! Service is top notch and food is fresh and delicious. Every employee I encountered was friendly and knowledgeable. I tried the special tonight which was fresh Mahi Mahi Livornese. Pan seared Mahi sautéed capers, olives, onions and Roma tomatoes with garlic and white wine served over spinach. It was fantastic! Will definitely be back.

Had to eat outside as we had our puppy with us. Very nice covered tables patio and a nice breeze on this June night. I realize this restaurant probably has no control of anyone siting a short distance away on a bench by Honey nails )which was closed) smoking pot that on this recent visit in a windy night made us feel like we were engaging. After walking over to the young man I realized he may be homeless. Not a good look for this nice place. Our server Maria seemed new at her job but was working very well. Loved the food and MICH better than Danny that we used to go to every Friday night.

I got the lunch special chicken parmesan w spaghetti and it was very big for a half portion. It was good and filled me up. Service was a little slow but server was very friendly.

Only visited once since the transition from Bella Mia’s. I requested a sauce [puttanesca] for the pasta that was not on the menu; the chef not only created it for me, but it was the best I’ve ever had, so of course HE earned five-stars. Our other entree, a special, Mushroom Tortellini, was flavorful. Both entrees were a good value. Service and atmosphere were acceptable as would be expected; nothing remarkable, I look forward to returning to sample other creations.

Ordered pasta. Looks tasty until I bit into an actual piece of rubber- maybe from a spatula…?

My coworkers and I had planned a couple days ahead to come here for lunch. Lunch was exquisite. The SERVICE WAS POOR to say the least. Sara was very rude and seemed distracted. She threw the straws on the table with an attitude, when we ordered our food she said we couldn’t order our desserts ahead of time because she would forget, (mind you, we were on our lunch break), handed plates over our heads verses handing them to us by our side, she gave my friend a completely different dish, she ordered a chicken parm sub and when confronted, she yelled out across the dining room “HOLD ON!”, rolled her eyes and picked up the plate without apologizing for the mistake. When Sara came back she said “yeah, she’s eating your chicken parm over there”, making it known the table behind us was given my friends plate” and proceeded to interact with the table behind us on how it was not her fault the wrong dishes were given, blaming the kitchen staff. My other friend requested the checks and sara yelled “I’ll give them to you when I have them ready!” When it was time for us to go, she came with seperate checks and we told her it was all on one, so she walks away and crumbles the checks in her hand. Her service was NOT professional and NOT acceptable. She was constantly socializing with the table behind us. I don’t think she deserved the added on gratuity! I was a server for 10years+, so I know what is expected of the customers and what to expect when dining out. AND SHE WAS SEEN DRINKING BEHIND THE BAR. Sara desperately needs to improve her service etiquette, and hide drinks (per county inspection, you’re not supposed to have opened drinks in customer areas)!

I have been coming here since the original Italian owners had Bella Mia… these people have ruined the place the Marcella wasn’t even warm. The fettuccine was unedible it took. 15 minutes for the garlic knots when they used to bring them when you first got there before now they’re a special order. There was one waitress for 15 tables. The bartender filled in when she got overloaded. They are not using Bella Mia’s recipes, which were very good. There was one chef who was an owner. The manager didn’t even show up and it was a disaster. I will never go there again. It is so sad. It’s the ending of an era for that restaurant.

Pizza was good, actually tasted better the next day heated in the oven. We grabed 3 pies to go. Service was great, very nice ladies working the counter. Place would be a nice spot for a bite to eat on a date night.

I ordered the lasagna pizza, it was honestly so so yummy.. but they overloaded the ingredients to where it was the messiest thing I’ve tried to get in my mouth in a long time – it would still taste just as good without that much of each thing that comes on it. The box was dripping when I was carrying it inside. The taste was fire but I do hope they tone it down a bit on how much they put on the pizza. I’ll order from here again for sure
