    The table we got was sticky and dirty. They only allow one refill on soft drinks or you have to purchase another 😤. I had chicken Parmesan and the whole meal lacked seasoning. I would have been better off having Chef Boyardee spaghetti in a can. Would not recommend anyone waste their money here there is plenty of other options that are worth your hard earned money.

    We had the grilled Caesar salad. It did not taste like it had been on the grill at all and the croutons were very stale. If disappointment. Drinks were good, but that was all.

    The vibes are high, however, a few things miss the mark. If I’m paying $25 for a cocktail at least make it look like a craft cocktail. I ordered a negroni and it came with standard ice and a large straw. At the very least I’d expect a nicer piece of ice and a straw to fit the glass to match the price. Second - the kid menu pricing was unreal - $18-30 for a kids pasta. Adult dishes, fine, but kids menu dishes over $20 is agregious.

    High quality Italian. Nothing fancy, but excellent preparation and huge portions. Excellent, professional service. Lovely outdoor seating.
