    They kept mixing our orders up, we had to keep asking for cutlery and for side plates, calamari showed that the greaser fried needs to be cleaned very badly, brusetta is better from a grocery store. Apple pie was super small super dry and the coating from the cast iron pan was stuck to it, Tiramisu was dry and almost gelatin like. We kept having to ask for a box for my daughter’s leftover pizza. They had us in a back room and I think kept forgetting about us. Last time we went tiramisu was really good so I think it was just old this time.

    Excellent all around. Very considerate with my gluten free allergy. The service was very good and they didn’t mind that we sat around and chatted long after we finished and paid.

    Food is actually pretty good on the server was great but the length of time to get your food is way too long and this is my experience from this restaurant every time. Also the wine selections are something that you would get at Denny’s just saying – – for an Italian restaurant they need to improve the selections and not have overpriced bottles of wine on 50% off that are mediocre choices – – at least have something reasonable
