    We had a reservation on a Saturday evening. The whole hostess area was a mess. One girl pointed us where to go to check in, 3 other people arguing over where to seat people didn’t acknowledge us for what felt like forever before I spoke up. They were all stressed and all the patrons could feel it. I almost wanted to walk how because of how poorly they were acting. Once sat our waiter was very nice and checked on us often. The bar was backed up and we didn’t receive our drinks until we had finished our appetizers. Food was good, but unfortunately we probably won’t return because of the service. Also, if you are going to have people wait 20 minutes for a drink, at least bring bread to the table or something.

    Food was adequate. Was slightly cool and taste was ok. Service was poor. Server never offered grated cheese for food, and when asked offered a plastic container of pre grated cheese. Never asked about refills of drinks or water.

    This was my second time eating here and I think the scratch made kitchen makes all the difference. The food is delicious. Everyone always likes their meal and wants to take home their leftovers. The atmosphere is so enjoyable.

    Very disappointing. Took forever to get our drinks as well as our food. Spoke with Matthew, the manager about the length of time it was taking for our food. He did not deliver our food to us. It wasn’t until I said something to our server that he ended up coming back to our table. Was definitely a letdown.

    An ok exoerience. The diing room temperature was cold, but that aside, the food was ok, nothing special. Same as the service, no suggestions from our server, you might be leaving money on the table.

    Service was terrible. We sat outside and it seems like they divide the tables outside so one server does each table. So the server has a big group inside and then one table outside. So mostly not the waiters’ faults. Drinks were slow - not sure that mind had any booze in it. Pizza was under done. The fish looked nice. They offered a free dessert - also nice. Restaurant was extremely loud and outside was loud and they refused to turn down the music.

    This was my second time at the restaurant. This time was a bit busier and the bar staff was understaffed. I never got my drink. Bread should be a given at an Italian restaurant. There shouldn’t be a charge to it.
