    Will be back again. Only critique is that I ordered the special and the waiter told me it wasn’t available. Staff should alert the guests of any food shortages before they hand out the menus.

    Food was great. Staff was excellent. I would’ve given five stars if every single thing we had was over the top. The only thing we really didn’t like and was very bland and soft was the eggplant appetizer so I couldn’t give it a five knowing that. I’m sure if I go again, it would be five stars.

    Made a dinner reservation for Sunday night. Once we were able to get in, we were crammed into a tight corner in the dining room. Felt like our server forgot about us a few times. The food was very good, all of us were happy with our pastas.
