   Great ambience very good food good music prices are a little bit high, but that is joes fault . I had the ribeye, which was OK as this was not a Steakhouse, but it was cooked appropriately. (wife) had the pizza which she thought was one of the best she had ever had

   Website ad misleading on carbonara. We ordered and very bland, nothing like in the picture. No salt & pepper on table and had to wait a long time to get a little pepper shaker. No bread included with meal, which for price charged, could include some. Prosciutto with strachiatella cheese was very underwhelming. You had about 6-8 DOTS of cheese and quality of prosciutto was not the best - a bit hard. No olive oil or balsamic vinegar on table either. Hip place with nice vibe and our waiter was very nice.

   The reservation process always seems to be a hassle. I made a reservation for 8 and they set up a table for seven which was super tight, adding another chair was NOT an option. They really did hustle to find another table for us which was still a little weird because one of our guests had to sit on one end with a column blocking a portion of his space! Other than that we had a great time! The food was off the charts and our server Rosanna was phenomenal!

   It was our first time at this restaurant. The food was very good. Both appetizers, baby lamb chops and calamari fritti were tender and tasty. I had salmon encrusted with pistachio nuts on a bed of puréed squash, very nice and my husband really liked the 4 cheese ravioli. He said it was the best he had and he is pretty picky. As desert we shared the Sicilian mini donuts that were yummy. Service was attentive. The only thing we did not like, the place is very noisy. We were with another couple and it was very hard to talk. But I would return for the food. Will definitely also try the other Busalacchi restaurants.

   Great food at reasonable prices. Good service, floor was a bit cold initially but we eventually got used to it.

   I was early to my reservation and had to wait 30 mins to get the table but still got seated 30 mins prior to my reservation time of 7:30pm. We got a table outside with a heater. Our server was different but there was a server named Gianni who was very kind and offered for my and my son to wait inside as it was cold outside while we were waiting to be seated. I could tell that the guy has a really good sense of humor as he attended the other tables. He was very jovial and attentive to his parties seated at the table. I really wish he was the server at our table to too but that wasn’t the case. I am writing this review because of Gianni as he seemed to be a very nice and amazing server and he deserves a shout out. We had the garlic bread and the calamari for appetizers which were both very good. We also enjoyed a round of cocktails. For the main course, we had the funghi pasta and the crab pasta. I think the funghi pasta had more flavor and taste than the crab pasta. Overall, experience was good. The desserts weren’t to my taste so we didn’t order anything as they only had three options .
