    Terrible, won’t be coming back. Our reservation was at 7:30 for a party of four. We checked in at 7:20 PM and noticed quite a few people standing around; the restaurant was full. The hostesses were not very friendly and when I asked when she thought we would be seated, she said oh I don’t know no one’s leaving so we need to wait until people leave. She told us to wait either outside or in the bar area. Since there was no seats in the bar area, we decided to wait outside on the sidewalk. It was cold outside and there was a homeless man yelling and annoying everyone so we eventually came back inside. We checked in with the hostess 30 minutes later and still she had no idea when we would be seated. We then stood around and waited for another 25 minutes until finally a table became available. Unfortunately it was right by the front door so it was quite loud. Once we were seated we did receive warm bread and the waitress came over right away. She was very friendly and we had very good service with her. The specials that she recommended were not the greatest, although I have to say that the cocktails specifically the lemon drops were very good. The food was very average and I would never order any of those items again. One was the lemon linguine which was a special And the other one was a pasta with calamari which my boyfriend couldn’t even finish because the calamari rings were very tough and chewy and sauce had no taste. Overall terrible experience would never return.

    Food was good. Not a lot for the cost. At least not what I ordered. Our waiter was wonder, but the waiter that served the other table seemed to be rushing the patrons. Also, not a lot of space for your food and plate. The women restroom were not clean, one of the doors did not lock. Just didn’t feel very clean in the restaurant for my liking.

    Some patrons and groups need to be given time limits. I was seated almost an hour after my reservation and was seated between two large groups, taking up multiple tables, who were not eating or ordering food, just talking. To me, they looked like they just wanted to be seen in the restaurant, thus prolonging their stay and delaying others from being seated. They were obviously finished with their meals and didn't want to leave in a timely manner.

    I am very disappointed with my experience, I made a reservation for 8pm. We had to wait 2 hours to get seated and there was nowhere to sit and wait. They told us to wait by the bar where there was a huge crowd just standing packed like sardines. We finally were able to grab seats at the bar and order drinks to past the time. I eventually had to ask someone if I was going to be seated the girl said yes but still made us wait in the front. Finally when we were finally seated they gave us the worse table possible, next to the kitchen, where the door opens and there was waiters constantly bumping into us. We ordered calamari which was a 10/10 but our food was taking so long that I had to ask the waiter if we could get dessert in the meantime. We were never offered anything for the inconvenience. By the time our food came out we were over it. We made the best of it. The food was 10/10 but the ambiance was ridiculous. They had loud techno music in an Italian restaurant it was not was I was expecting. I went with my best friend to have a nice dinner on valentines and it was ruined.

    The owner/chef cannot be Italian, nothing authentic at all. Must be hyped up due to location.
