    The food was okay. The price was reasonable. We loved the lightly fried calamari. The waiter took forever for everything, even with giving us the bill and returning our card to leave. I had really high expectations for this restaurant. The food wasn’t bad, but I wont be returning.

    It was so busy that the team couldn’t keep up with the crowd. But the food was good and the bartenders were excellent. I liked the way the food arrived via rolling carts. The server team is surely aware of how busy it is, but they chat at tables rather than excuse themselves to complete service at other tables. Frustrating to be sure. Attractive enough space. Recommend asking them for an order of garlic bread - not on the menu but excellent

    So disappointing. We normally eat at the Palm Desert location and it is much better. First the menu on the website hasn’t been updated so they didn’t have what I wanted. The chicken parm had no taste and my husband’s pasta was overcooked. Will not eat at this location again.

    The wait staff was attentive and informative. We were greeted nicely at the door. Our table was very nice with a view out the window. The appetizer and entrees were delicious and plenty in each portion. I would go back again in the future.

    if you're looking for quality italian food, please keep looking. the server recommended the veal so i was stunned that it was drowning in gravy. it could have been any meat given the amount of gravy. the spinach was delicious, however! perfectly cooked and seasoned. my dinner mate ordered the lasagna and it was an appetizer portion. so he left hungry. the restaurant is close to the museum and it was raining so we popped in for a bite but left underwhelmed. i would not return or recommend.
