Service was very good and attentive, and the room is lovely. We shared the fried calamari, which was good - crispy and fresh - with a standard marina sauce. I chose the veal pavesi, which was surprisingly tough, and my wife liked the short rib pasta special, which I tasted, and liked, but was not as impressive as a similar dish I had at South+Pine. Dessert was fine - disappointing creme brulee, according to one of my dining companions. After tax and tip, the dinner was $80 per person (BYOB) - for the money, there are several better options in Morristown.

The restaurant dues become quite loud due to its size and the night we were there they had live music so it was quite loud. The menu is diverse and there is something for everyone. Everyone I was with enjoyed their meal. My veal Marsala had a delicious flavor but unfortunately the veal was very tough, hard to cut and chewy. I would go back and just skip the veal. It was a good value and they do not rush you.

We were seated downstairs next to a large party (14 people). The noise level was extremely loud and made it very difficult to talk. When I told this to the manager, he basically brushed me off barely apologizing. I asked with empty tables upstairs, why were not seated there. His response was ignorant and then asked if I had a good meal. Totally unacceptable and very disrespectful. We will not be going back.
