    Our usual experience has always been wonderful. This particular evening had very slow, inattentive service. My eggplant Parmesan was mainly breading with my pasta coming out lukewarm. My husband’s pizza was not what he ordered and the salads were mainly lettuce with minimal toppings. I am hoping this was an isolated incident.

    It was a busy night but our server did well for the tables she had. We had the ravioli short ribs and the pork braciole pasta food was hot, fresh and tasted delicious. We will be back and try the pizza next time

    We had a reservation and walked in to be told we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Hostess was rude and clearly overwhelmed, the entrance is super crowded with nowhere to stand except directly in front of the door. Once seated, the tables didn't appear to be all that clean, and the parmesean and peppers were sitting out on every table in little open dishes with spoons to add them to your food, which seemed odd and unhygienic. We had supposedly booked a 4 course dinner for $59 but there was no mention made of it when we arrived. (I'm glad, I saw another couple that had one of the dishes and it looked horrific) We ordered the calamari and shrimp $18 and recieved and absolutely tiny portion of clearly pre-frozen shrimp and calamari with what appeared to be a bottled sauce. It was bland, and chewy. We asked for a side of marinara which took almost 20 minutes to actually get. We should have just left but it was valentines day and there was no way to get into someplace nearby without prior reservations. I tried to order a fried calzone only to be told they couldn't do a calzone because they needed to "save room in the fryer" again, we should've just left. I settled on a pizza and asked for no onions or bell peppers, and my wife ordered a pizza as well. $19 for mine $17 for hers When they arrived, my pizza had BOTH bell peppers and onions on it, the server made an excuse that it was the "wrong pizza" (she wasn't writing down orders) and had it remade. What arrived was a floppy, soggy mess with what tasted and felt like bagged, shredded mozzerella, cheap pepperoni and generic tasting italian sausage. My wife's pizza looked like a pre-made pizza with added toppings. There was no more than 6 small pieces of chicken (super dry, and clearly the bagged grilled chicken cubes from the store, fake grill marks and all) and the jalapeños were clearly canned. Through all of this, the service was terrible and it took forever to get anything we asked for. Not a good time...

    We and our friends truly enjoyed our evening last night. The ambiance was warm, service was efficient and the server friendly. The music was pleasant and the Bolognese was delicious. It was difficult to choose from the cast variety of Italian dishes, and we were happy with our choice.
