The food was adequate. The service was poor, but they tried with smiles. first course to fast, second course delivered while we still had plates in font of us. Water was replenished when asked. Wine glasses were dirty, but we didn't care because we didn't want to wait for another. Pasta dishes were too skimpy on marinara sauce. Keep trying. BTW, your marinara needs help, let me know if you need a lesson in making good Sunday Gravy.
