Our waitress seemed to be very new and nervous. She didn’t seem to want to take our order so was running around doing anything and everything to stay away. However, when we flagged down other staff to fill our water pitcher or for more bread, they did not hesitate. Food was hearty and good. Would have been nice to know that the handmade fusilli pasta that waitress recommended had an additional cost.
