    Painfully expensive for three of us at dinner. Got charged $70 for a dinner entree. It was a special tonight, a pasta dish with two proteins. We should have been told if this dish was going to come out as a platter. $328 with tip. Nice people, normally excellent food, but shockingly expensive tonight.

    1st 25 minutes we were there our party was informed that they did NOT know who our server was. Eventually the young lady we tapped to ask stated “ How guess I’ll be your server “ Overall experience was not ideal and will not be going back nor recommend to friends .

    They don't give paper bills but automatically charge a gratuity without saying so. You pay by computer and add tip then to find out you gave a +30% on food that was very mediocre, our waitress was awesome but should have let us know about automatic gratuity. No reason to go back.

    Good but not for the price. Standard Italian food.. nothing special. With so many Italian restaurants in the Detroit area, they need to up their game.
