    We went for dinner to celebrate my birthday, however the staff never acknowledged my birthday. They sat us at a nice booth as requested. The starter frittura mista was good. We enjoyed the calamari, shrimp, and baby scallops. The linguine alle vongole had many clams. My husband had the flat iron steak which he ordered med rare. It came med well which was disappointing.

    Alex is an attentive and patient server. I was not able to order the dessert I was looking forward to having. By mistake I ordered a dessert thinking it was the Bomba. The Bomba does not appear on the menu according to the servers. A customer has to know to request it. This is a bad policy. And…I had a very disappointing dessert experience.
