We went on Valentine's Day and they had a really short menu with barely any vegetarian options. To add to that, they ran out of buratta and even bread! We couldn't get anything besides the penne pasta. The waiter did not seem to know the menu much because when I asked for vegetarian options, he suggested some dish that had lobster in the name and said "it's just the name. There's no lobster in it..." This ruined our Valentine's Day dinner so we ended up having to go elsewhere to grab food. The service was also really slow. They took forever to give me the check and the credit card. Seems like they need to get with the times because they still hand write their receipts and manually calculate the total with tax. I would not recommend this place, especially on special occasions and if you are a vegetarian.

We waited 10 min before anyone even cane to our table to greet us. But, others who sat down after us were immediately served. Then when we were done people around us received their left overs packaged in a nice brown paper bag. We were given a plastic bag like at the grocery store.
