   Our server was great, we liked our drinks, and the cheese sticks were delicious. We got the chicken parm and the vodka sauce dish. Both of them had “8 hour” sauces on them, but I that made them a bit too thick and pasty. And they were pretty sweet. Some more moisture and salt were definitely needed. The portions were good though.

   Food was amazing! Great atmosphere as well. Champagne bottles out of stock that was a bummer but overall fantastic meal.

   Dinner was such an amazing experience! We had the best service, quick and efficient! Matt was a great server! We had fried meatballs, pepperoni and hot honey pizza, and the RIGATONI AND ROASTED CHICKEN RAGU (YUMMMMMM). Then for desert we had tiramisu and a scoop of the salted caramel gelato! It was all fantastic!! I got the recommendation from tik tok and it truly is as they said “A hidden gem in Nashville.”

   Our waiter had no personality, never checked to see how our food was and didn’t even ask if we wanted coffee/dessert. In addition, my chicken was grizzly even after me mentioning it, he could care less. A waste of $29, sadly I will not return.

   We had a reservation at 8:00 but didn’t get seated til 8:30, customers wouldn’t leave. The restaurant was very apologetic and gave us two apps on the house which were absolutely delicious. Our meals were great. But I believe our server Matt made our experience even better. Would definitely go back again!! Loved it

   We went in the evening, so the ambience was nice. Our server was excellent. There were four of us, and all of us were underwhelmed by the food, especially for the price. For examples, the pork chop was way over cooked, the risotto was under cooked, and the mozzarella sticks, for $18, were no different from your standard casual dining restaurant, except that you got three instead of five or six. I would not go again, but the server was very, very good.

   Slow start but the server was very engaging and appreciated the conversation. Food, to be honest was not outstanding but met expectation.

    Service and food prep was very slow and there were few tables. Meatball were good but everything else we ordered was mediocre.
