   Even though you make a reservation they don't plan for it and you wait... After 20 minutes they sat us in a corner on a tiny cocktail table with seats made for kids and a table barely taller. The rooms were extremely noisy, disorganized, over crowded and stuffy. The hostess was trying her best but was clearly overwhelmed And there was an extremely noisy live band playing in the front room,. Completely out of place for what is presented as fine dining. It felt more like a bar than anything...

   Walking through the door I had high hopes, there was a lovely jazz band playing in the corner and the restaurant was full. Unfortunately, even with reservations, we were led to a FAR back room where the music couldn't be heard at all, the table was the sort one would find at a bake sale and was covered in a black plastic "table cloth" and it was rather cold. I'm not sure if this is a room they use regularly but the situation needs to be addressed better. There's a discord between being in the charming front room and being in the forgotten back room. Our servers were all very nice but they were also deeply over extended-not their fault. The food was hit or miss as well. We ordered the brussel sprout appetizer and that was nice. The pasta I ordered, pasta vongole, somehow was nearly flavorless and according to my husband his pomodoro the same. I'm not even sure how a clam pasta can end up lacking in flavor. A friend had the cabonara and I tasted it, it was delicious. Italian food is simple food with simple ingredients, these wrinkles should be easily ironed out. Sadly disappointing, hopefully they figure out some solutions because there is a lot of potential here.

   It was a little cold and dark, but service and food were excellent.

   Excellent food and music- we always sit up in the front room to hear the music which is why the noise level is high… but people sit in the rooms further away from the music for quieter dinner- staff is wonderful and it our fav dinner spot!

   Fantastic food and the reason the noise rating is high is because of the extraordinary jazz music!

   Live jazz ambiance was amazing, and the food was good but not outstanding: it lacked depth in the taste. Appetizers are pricy for the quantity that comes in

   So great that they had live jazz to add to the phenomenal good experience. We hung around after dinner for drinks at the bar.

    Food was excellent. Service excellent. Cocktails very good. The live music was a nice touch too. Prices are high, but no worse than everywhere else these days. Overall it was a really nice place to savor and linger. Reminded me of being in Italy.
