Horrible service received during 2024 Christmas Eve dinner. We ordered the Dinner Special ‘Feast of Seven Fishes’ which has 3 Courses (1st Course of appetizer, soup; 2nd Course; and lastly Main Course). The 1st Course was served in a timely manner. Sadly, the calamari was way TOO SALTY and dried up. The lobster bisque was served on a curved plate and only a had a only 2-3 spoonfuls of the actual bisque. Then it just became downhill. We were made to wait 40 minutes for the 2nd Course to arrive on our table. It was an arugala salad and 4 SMALL pieces of scallops! It does not take long to make a salad and sear scallops! My partner was an executive chef for many years in NYC and Northern NJ and this was just absolutely an unacceptable wait time. The 3rd Course was spaghetti with mussels, clams and salmon. Fortunately enough it made its way to our table. We didn’t think we could wait for it after the delay of the 2nd Course. The really annoying part of this experience is that our server never checked on table until the end to give us a check. He was too busy with his coworker at the bar taking selfies of themselves to post on social media. Mind you he kept passing by looking over — knowing that it’s been 40 minutes — and our 2nd course hadn’t been served. He was literally also avoiding patrons still not having received their orders for some reason. By simply checking in and letting us know that the kitchen staff was backed up would’ve been an assurance of the delay. I’m pretty sure we’re not the only ones who will be posting negative reviews on their Christmas Eve service. We were looking forward to visiting this place when we made the 7:00 pm reservation. But the service just destroyed it. So BOO to the “new” conversion to Trattoria Appia. My advice that if you stumble on this restaurant — only order pizza. Do not order anything else listed on their menu.

First time coming here and we were very impressed. The food was delicious, service was amazing, and atmosphere was awesome. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. The hardest part of our night was pronouncing the names of each dish! They were extremely accommodating as I indicated this was a special reservation for my anniversary. We will be going back again and requesting Gabrielle, who was fantastic.

The food and drinks were outstanding. Where we were slightly disappointed was our experience with the food runner /junior waitstaff who was clearly not paying attention. He had one earbud (beats, not a hearing aid/amplification device) in for the majority of the service, delivered another table’s food to us- and spilled a good portion of the sauce on our table. I feel like the more senior waiter had to spend a lot of energy cleaning up his messes (literally and figuratively) and was spread too thin. The waiter did comp our appetizer which we were grateful for. We came to celebrate my mom’s bday and even put it in the notes, but it wasn’t acknowledged, even after I mentioned it again :(
