The service was very nice. Unfortunately the food was not up to expectations. The calamari appetizer was good, however the main entrees (sausage, rigatoni & spicy tomato sauce/ chicken parm) was not good. The noodles were undercooked for both entrees and the meat just not fresh. Will not be eating there again unfortunately.

Normally this place is spot on. Customer service has gone down hill a little bit. I mean they are all nice, but can’t seem to be bothered at the same time. Like they have better things to do than to help you. Takes forever to pay the bill lately too, seems odd. Take my money for this over priced meal please. The food used to be amazing, now it’s good. Tonight for the first time, it’s wasn’t even good. Maybe it was just a bad night.

Food was mediocre and drinks were subpar for the price. We spent most of our dinner swatting gnats away from food and drinks. Service was excellent. Not terrible, not great.

Good food, but they need to improve service and ambience. The lights were so bright, more like a cafeteria than a nice restaurant. We asked them to dim them a bit and they did, but it was still too bright. Service from waiter eas mediocre. They were out of stock of a few things on their beer list.

Food was very average for the price. The filet was more like a ribeye and had an odd flavor. Pasta ala vodka was odd too. More red than creamy. Wouldn’t eat here again.

We were seated at a wonderful table next to the windows and enjoyed a fantastic breeze. The food was okay, standard italian fair but needed salt. Once we got some salt the food was good so to speak but not amazing. Coasters under the water glasses go a long way on the islands as a sweaty glass will drip on your nice shirt and tie; just a thought. The Tiramisu was nicely done and overall it was a good dinner. Friendly staff although they seemed a bit overwhelmed. 3.7 out of 5
