   Restaurant said it was their last day open, so they rushed us to eat. Didn’t have staff, had friends helping out in the kitchen, and at the bar. server had a nasty attitude, kept saying we needed to hurry up so she could get to the casino for the new year… overall not mad it’s shutting down its probably for the best.

   The location is good and once inside the decor is nice. There is a small bar area that had 2 TV screens showing sporting events which was a distraction from the intention of being more of a fine dining experience. There is service was very poor. It felt as if we were in a Diner vs. a restaurant with entrees in the $25-$45 range.

   Very good dinner. White table cloths- very pretty. Lots of attention. Lobster ravioli was excellent! Wine great! Even coffee was excellent.

   Cuginos is awesome! Went for a celebratory dinner with my family and it exceeded all expectations. Food is amazing, service was great, and it was very quiet.

   We were one of 3 tables on a Saturday night. Went specifically for the arancini (on their website), only to find out they haven't served them in 6 months. Only beer available is Bud and Budlight. Only 3 staff members working - good thing there were only 3 tables with people! Cleared out by 8 pm.

   Visited on a Sat night around 8pm and place was absolutely dead, we were only table. Food wasn't bad, chicken and veal were ok. Had buratta app, with less than one slice of prosciutto, and meager salad, but both were tasty. Hot pepper sauce was good with some kick. But the topper was the bottle of san pellegrino for $15US that was over the top expensive. At the best restaurants in Miami and NYC and Toronto we never paid that much for a bottle. If I had noticed when I paid I would have said something but only noticed at home later. Won't return just because of that ..felt ripped off. I guess that's why no one goes there anymore

    We had a great meal and a good wine recommendation from waitress who was beyond exceptional with our service. Will definitely return.
