Went here twice with coworkers. The food was very good. However, they really don’t like splitting checks. The first time we thought we learned our lesson and made sure to ask as soon as we were seated the second time, but it was still apparently an unreasonable request ‍♀️ We would probably still go back though because the food was good and a little attitude from the waitress didn’t bother us much

Joann Peters

The service on a Friday night was excellent. Drinks were refilled at a good pace. Waitress was excellent! We never felt rushed; this can be unusual for a weekend night. Hadn’t seen my friend in a while so the relaxed atmosphere was perfect for dinner and a visit to catch up with each other. Food arrived perfectly timed, as soon as I finished my salad, my dinner arrived. Marinara sauce has some zip to it rather than a sweet sauce. Pasta was cooked to perfection!

All the hype I experienced concerning this place was blown COMPLETELY out of proportion! The restaurant was warm, clean and inviting. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Nora was our waitresses and we couldn’t of asked for a better server. For 50 dollars a plate I expected WAY better food.

Patricia Drisko

There was a group of 13 of us. The server was annoyed immediately. We asked her if we could split into 4 checks. She acted like we asked for a free meal! She added a credit card surcharge even though we all paid cash! The busboys had no manners. They literally pushed behind us in serving food and didn’t even say excuse me. Management should have training on customer courtesy. The server (said she worked there 12 yrs) added her tip 25.00 per check

Delicious! We shared the Goat Cheese Appetizer which has a great richness with a perfect marinara and the surprise of black olives. The Panko Shrimp was super crunchy and delightful.
