   The pizza - excellent. The zucchini fries - Fantastic. Vodka pasta, so good. The service was not good. We checked in and they sat us down. It took a while to get someone to take our order or bring us water or anything. Then we noticed there were two separate couples that got sat after us, one on either side of us, immediately got served chips and water. We never got any. We glanced at a 3rd couple behind my boyfriend (they had just got seated and immediately was served chips as well, while we were still waiting for…someone. We finally ordered an app (zucchini fries) and then maybe 10minutes later the waiter came around again to take our food order. We ordered 1 pizza and 1 pasta. The pasta came out & our app was no where to be seen. I commented on this to our waiter and he brought it out shortly after. We finished the pasta (thankfully we were sharing the pasta and pizza or one us would have either eaten alone or waited and had cold pasta by the time the pizza came out). We finished and then maybe 5-10min after we finished eating the pasta and fries, the pizza came. It was really unfortunate timing and no one seemed apologetic. It didn’t seem like a busy time as many booths behind us were empty and it was 2:45pm on a Sunday. Again, food was incredible but the service was disappointing and I was really looking forward to this incredible meal.

   Exceptional service, we adored our waitors! Food is divine - started with the zucchini fries and olive appetizer, shared the Prosciutto Parm and Rigatoni. Accompanied by their seasonal martini, I couldn’t have been more content.

   We ordered the truffle fries - very good. My husband had a bowl of soup, it was good. We split the salmon (which I had on a previous visit, where it was excellent). This time the salmon was dry and way over cooked. That was disappointing. The cocktails were good - espresso martini and margarita slush.

   Really great service--we had a delicious and beautifully served dinner--the pastas and the pizza were flavorful, abundant, and served simply--delicious! The best was the meatball appetizer with focaccia on the side and wonderfully fresh flavorful sauce. Friendly service and good feelings all around. As a local this place is total keeper!

   Our server seemed to be the only one actually serving. As such, service was slow. We could see groups of staff standing around talking near the bar. There were two people dressed all in black who appeared to be the restaurant managers, not managing. It was unfortunate, we were excited to try the newer venue as we have enjoyed many of the other restaurants.

    The booth side seats were not very comfortable. Other than that the service and food was great!
