Usually always had good experiences but I picked up my food to go and when I got home I couldn’t figure out why the garlic bread tasted so dry & stale. Then I turned the bread over and noticed they used an old stale slice of Dutch crunch! If they were out of bread I’d rather them say “we’re out of that” instead of giving it to me on a piece of stale old dutch crunch. Waste of money.

I can see why it’s empty at 7:30 on a Friday evening – the food is sub-par and so is the service. They are all busy folding napkins while I sit here trying to get someone’s attention about the faux risotto they served me with rubbery seafood….and bits of shell in it (its in no way a risotto). The environment is basically an event hall with a bunch of tables all lined up across the floor. The recessed spotlights are too bright and it feels like mid afternoon at a firehall charity BBQ.

Brilliant Italian restaurant. Great flavor great vibes. This is definitely a weekly Italian spot we like to hit up. Best breadsticks in town. Food is made to order if requested. And yes they have a full bar.

Open space, just loud enough that the person next to you isn’t chiming in your convo, but loud enough that even with a big laugh you don’t stand out. The food is hearty and good portions. Good flavor and decent service.

We visited for the first time and had a very nice time. The only wrinkle was that I ordered Chicken Parmesan and the chicken was so thin that it came out overcooked, almost burnt and very dry. I would go back but i would try something else. Prices are a bit high.
