   Made a reservation and was seated right away. The service was great - waiter was professional and courteous. The food and wine choice were delicious . They didn’t rush us out after we were finished with our meal. Enjoyed the restaurant and will return soon.

   We’d read a bunch of reviews that weren’t great when they first opened so thought we’d wait until now to go. It’s a really nice set up, love the Market in the front. It was relatively quiet as it was early on a weeknight. Help was kind and very friendly but the timing was off with the food coming out, things were missing and requests weren’t followed through. The pricing was very high for the taste level of both of our meals. I never mind paying for excellent food but not a fan of bland food (although the quality was there) when I know I can prepare better at home. Maybe next time we’ll stick with the pizza and a salad.

   Took advantage of a great spring special they were advertising. There was a sign by the entrance indicating they had a prix fixe for an appetizer and entree for 22.00. When we were seated, the menu we were given indicated the same special was 34.00. There weren’t many options so we chose to order from the regular menu. The waiter we had was wonderful and very attentive. There was someone assisting him who came to clear our appetizer dishes and took away our bread and olive oil. That is something you pay for and we were not asked if we were done, we weren’t. It happened so fast we were not able to stop it. Our meals were delicious, and enough to take the rest home for left overs! Also the pistachio cannoli was the best I have ever tasted. I would definitely go back, but next time I would be more vocal if they clear the table before we are finished!

   Food portion was small. Service normal - some friendly server but some are not. They take out the plates so quickly and it feels like we are kicked out.

   While we enjoyed our Sunday dinner meal very much, I found the hustle bustle of the shopping crowd at the store section a little distracting. A mid-week dinner late evening would probably be more to my liking. A lot of pasta dishes & few non-pasta choices. Our choices, butternut squash ravioli & tagliatelle bolognese were both excellent. Our waiter was attentive. Overall, a delicious, pleasant experience. We will be back.

   The food was spectacular as well as the recommended drink from our server Michael. I had the Ragu Di Carne with polenta and my daughter the Cacio e Pepe. Spectacular. We are already planning our next lunch date. Plenty of other things I need to try. Our was very attentive and pleasant. . It was a pleasure having him take care of us. Can't wait to go back. Hopefully we get Michael again.

   Not a great first experience...we arrived about 13 minutes before our reservation only to be told we had to wait for "our service to be optimal" whatever that means. The restaurant was half empty. We had a server who never told us his name and never smiled. The food was a solid "good". More than halfway through our meals before we were given more water. The worst part of the entire experience was having to select my gratituity directly in front of our server who was holding the credit card terminal. This was incredibly awkward and felt very low-end. This seemed to be the procedure at other tables also so I can't blame the server for that. Won't be back.
