My go to is fresh made gnocchi with pesto sauce. So I ordered gnocchi with pesto sauce. It came out as packaged gnocchi with fresh pesto sauce. So disappointed. Probably won’t go back again.

We decided to sit outside and were greeted and seated immediately. There was an appropriate amount of time they lect us alone in order for us to decide what we wanted. When the food arrived, it was hot and yummy! It was a nice place to eat and look at the downtown clayton area. If you get a chance you should enjoy sitting outside! I ordered minestrone soup and Eggplant Parmigiana

Very expensive for extremely small amount of very subpar food. Good staff (would have given 3 stars because of them), & great location, but food is terrible. An elderly, thin, pot-bellied man who appeared to be either owner or manager, was extremely rude and completely focused on money, not great service, or a superb dining experience. So very sad to see, since this great location presents so many benefits, but obviously greed creating horrible food quality, and over stressing of staff, as well as the poorest management ever witnessed. Evidence to why so many low ratings posted, for a business with real potential. This person does not belong in the hospitality industry and should sell immediately to allow someone who knows how to create a superior restaurant experience serve the good people of Clayton!

I was taking a walk downtown and I received the rudest stare from a waiter working tonight. He had brown hair and glasses. It saddens me that I can’t even walk in my own neighborhood without getting these rude stares- which I know are due to the color of my skin.

First time there before a show. The pasta, salad and appetizers are fantastic! Electric atmosphere, great team of workers, friendly and very good service at the bar.
