    The sauce isn’t good in my opinion. The pasta came out cold. The spinach salad was good but very little goat cheese. The wedge salad was big but not enough dressing and bacon. And a huge not edible piece of ice berg was given. It was a three. Not awful but not as good as they used to be

    We had a table for 7 they pack them in but that’s part of the appeal being in an energetic place..only criticism is my chicken parm dish the pasta was somewhat cold but the chicken was nice and hot which was a bit strange having such different temperatures but I go here a lot and will continue to as it always satisfies everyone!

    This restaurant has "overflow seating" or something like that. Make sure you do not click on that during your reservation, and if they put you in this section I strongly advise you go elsewhere for your food. The "overflow seating" area is across the street in a deli. The lighting is like a doctor's office, it smells like a deli and is cold like a deli, there is no music, and they have folding tables for their guests in that section. The food has to be carried across the street to this section, so it's truly not warm when it gets to you. I would also say that the food quality has declined. I started going there in ~2022, and the food is not as good as it used to be 2-3 years ago. Also they don't have a good organizational set up for the tables in this deli so the service team has no clue what food is going to what table when it comes to the deli. I honestly feel really bad for the servers in this section... Prior to this experience, my experience with this restaurant was really good, but this experience was bad enough that I am refusing to go back there.

    Food was good. I had Chicken Parm & my wife had chicken and pasta in pink sauce. It was crowded and felt like we were on top of other people. I thought dining area was larger than it is. I prefer the summer outside on the patio.

    Love this place when visiting PC. Service & food once you get seated always make it worth the wait. Never been here on a Fri or Sat when they actually seat you within 15 minutes of your reservation time. It’s usually at least 30 minutes or more after the time reservation is made for.

    Crazy thing Italian restaurant that had no bread. Major fail for management. My daughter who attends college locally wanted to go there instead of our go to place I love. So, we went. No bread like how do you not have bread. I love a good Italian meal with bread. I have never been to an Italian restaurant with no bread! I didn’t realize I had already been there 2 summers ago. We are from PA so we don’t frequent often.

    We had the place to ourselves on a Wednesday afternoon! The food and service were top-notch. The calamari was delicious. Our waiter, Steve, was wonderful and offered several helpful suggestions. The only disappointment was the state of the ladies' room. Wobbly toilet, missing tiles, and drab. It just didn't make sense when everything else was exceptional. It definitely needs attention. Looking forward to a return visit and trying other menu items.
