    Our table was not ready when we arrived. The ambiance was not remotely close to any other restaurant in the area even though it has a lot of good ratings. Took over ten minutes to get a menu and water when we first sat down and didn’t get bread until we ordered our appetizer. The calamari was definitely frozen but whatever right. The pasta with shrimp and scallops was not amazing. The pasta was good but the shrimp and scallops tasted frozen and looked frozen. The dish was just pasta, with marinara on top; it wasn’t very appeasing. The place was very loud, stuck us upstairs by the stairs with a lot of bigger gatherings. The table we were at was actually a table meant for outside, with the grate looking top and the umbrella holder in the middle. It has a table cloth covering it all thankfully. This place shouldn’t be charging the amount it does for such below average food (compared to the area).

    Terrible service, disappointing food, I can make better italian at home. Very loud. Singers asking for money with Instagram and veemo while you are having dinner, qr code in your face. Intrusive and pushy.

    Our waiter, handled a table of 13 flawlessly. We were impressed he didn’t even write down our order, and didn’t miss a beat. Food service was prompt, and delicious. We highly recommend dining there

    Calamari was disgustingly chewy. Waitress was rude and was trying to push expensive wines on us

    Food wasn’t near as tasty as previous visits. My grilled chicken fettuccine was unseasoned and was basically just cream without any flavorful cheese added. Chicken parm was meh and wasn’t very warm. Honestly, wont be back for a while considering the price for poor quality food.

    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.
