    Really awesome food! For an appetizer we had the artichokes which were super delish. I have never had them before. Then we split two pizzas and both were very amazing. I like this place a lot and want to try their pasta next time :) The server was really friendly and gave good menu suggestions.

    Only good thing about the night was that we were promptly seated. The hostess did not smile and had a sour face when “greeting” us. It took 15 minutes until the server approached us. Server never checked on how the food was. I ordered the carbonara and was served cacio pepe and it was very salty. The cocktail was sib-par. I ordered a whiskey sour and there was mo egg white and no bitters. Lastly, there was a manager making her rounds to each table in our section, but NEVER approached us. Not going back.

    Started right at the entrance, the hostess was completely lost, had us waiting, then forgot, passed a lot of people in front of us, the food took very long time to come, and when we had just finished, my mom put the fork down and the waitress came and took the plate, felt like as if she was pushing us out. Did not like the experience this time. And this is usually one of my favorite restaurants! But the food was great as always!

    Food is always fantastic! The service is always lacking. More training is needed for servers.....if you are in an area check on your tables! Bus staff was wonderful but needed direction. I will go back for the delicious food but never again on a Saturday night.
