    Service was abysmal. They wouldn’t seat us without the entire party, which is totally fine! That’s not a problem. but once our entire party was seated, the server ignored us presumably because he was mad that the table was waiting? We offered to order in advance so to not hold up the table, but they refused. Waiter was incredibly rude and abrasive. He stepped on my foot when I got up to use the restroom, HARD, looked at me and walked away without saying excuse me or sorry. He refused to give us any service and another waiter had to take our order (after we asked him *twice*) and busboys were handling every other request. Just incredibly rude the way he was speaking to us when he wasn’t ignoring us (table of six). Food was average to good, bartender was great with the wine.

    It was a great experience besides the seafood linguini, undercooked lobster mush and extremely rubbery calamari.

    We had a delightful experience with the wonderful and friendly service. We started with the prosciutto and burrata appetizer, which was absolutely perfect for two to share—a true delight! For our main course, we indulged in the veal scallopini special, which exceeded our expectations, accompanied by a side of rich pasta Bolognese. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the fresh swordfish, which was a real treat. The atmosphere was lively, with families and couples enjoying their meals, and the live music added a fantastic touch to our evening. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience! We will undoubtedly return to enjoy again:)

    This is a busy, bustling place on a Saturday night but the despite the crowd it's still quiet and efficient enough to offer a very pleasant experience. The food and service are very good. Things come from the kitchen quickly and well prepared. The servers hustle around but keep track of what's going on at your table, so you never feel neglected. Very nicely done eggplant and chicken parm in generous portions!

    Had a large 11 man party and they let us add an extra person an hour before reservation–very kind of them! All the food for the table came out all at once too. I personally ordered a steak and asked for medium-rare. It came out lookin rare, but hey that’s alright. I give Riccardo’s five big booms! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOOOOOM‼️

    The food was great. The service was awesome. We were running a little late for our reservation & when I called they were very accommodating. The waiter was attentive when it came to taking our order but they did not try to rush us out of our table. The food was also served quickly.

    I got the bolognese and it was so salty it was almost inedible. I did not enjoy it at all. Calamari was very tough to chew aka not fresh. Skip this place!
