    We got reservations on Open Table for 4:15 to dine after a movie in the neighborhood. Having eaten at the Sicilian Butcher and enjoying it numerous times we thought it would be worth a try. Unfortunately we were greeted upon arrival with a question about whether we were traveling for some reason. We were then seated at a table near the grand player piano where we had to listen to the nice Muzak and the player piano at the same time. The result of course is dissonance. The waiter said he would have given us a table far from the piano if he had seated us. The food however was the savior of our venture to a new restaurant as it was delicious and visually enticing. The greeter and the dissonance failed to match the food. Why we were questioned rather than just greeted puzzled me. It wasn’t a welcoming feeling.

    Although this is clearly a popular gathering place, we had some issues. The bottom 1/3 of our Caesar salads were watery, and that just ruined the great tastes going on. Then we waited over 30 more minutes before the entrees came—which in itself was not horrible—and our server had come over twice saying dinner would be forthcoming, then later saying something about the late firing of one of the dinners. Then 3 of us got lukewarm food while still waiting for my husband’s (piping hot) pasta. We just didn’t want to return anything because it had already been quite a long wait overall. All the tables around us had long turned over. I feel like the dinners would have all been very good if hot, but honestly I’m not inclined to return if they can’t figure out the service for a table of 4 to all get hot meals at the same time.

    Great Italian food. The ricotta and eggplant appetizer was outstanding. Very good shrimp fra Diablo. Only reason not giving the restaurant 5 stars overall, is the noise level in the restaurant. Fun, welcoming atmosphere. Ask for table away from bar and piano.
