   The Paccheri Pasta was outstanding! perfectly cooked, with a rich, flavorful sauce that felt authentically Italian. The cozy yet elegant ambiance and attentive service made the experience even better. A must-visit spot for Italian food lovers!

   We had our reservation at 9:30pm, did not get sat down until 10:45pm, and we did not get the first course until 11:20pm! The whole hour we were waiting, they had us just standing there with nothing to compensate for the mistake. The whole New Year’s eve Italian tradition night did not happen, it was False Advertising! No Grapes with italian countdown, no Midnight Caccio e Pepe show, and no dancefloor. We felt scammed.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m deeply sorry for the disappointment you felt during your New Year’s Eve celebration. I completely understand your frustration regarding the delays and the missed expectations. We did have a dance floor set up in a separate room, as part of our event, and the Cacio e Pepe show was prepared outside, as planned. Additionally, we had a large bowl of grapes available at the bar for the Italian countdown. I regret that these elements weren’t made clear to you in the way they should have been, and I’m sorry they didn’t live up to your expectations. I hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. I will love to have you back with a complimentary bottle of champagne on me. Best regards,

    Booked my reservation looking forward to a new restaurant of great food, excellent service, and an enjoyable evening with music and dancing. What we encountered was an unorganized establishment scrambling to fit too many people in just to grab a quick buck. A highly stressed out wait staff that was spread way too thin. A management that was in way over their heads and unable to cope. Several unhappy customers with not one person too bothered to make any effort to resolve the problems. No music and dancing as advertised as they kept seating people in awkward places at tables so narrow and small that not even the chairs fit properly. The food would have been great if only it was warm and had not been left to sit so long. Safe to say that it was such a disappointing experience which was extremely unfortunate.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We deeply apologies and regret that your experience did not meet the expectations we aim to deliver. On the night of your visit, we unfortunately had two employees call out sick at the last minute, leaving us short-handed. As a result, our team was stretched thin, which impacted both the service and overall atmosphere. Please know that this is not typical of our standards, and we are actively working to improve. We would love the opportunity to make it right and invite you back for a much better experience, complete with a glass of champagne on us. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance. Best Regards Valerio Lombardozzi
