   Our server was excellent! We ordered basil lime martini… But they were out of limes. I finally decided on lasagna… But they were out of lasagna! I’ve never heard of an Italian restaurant being out of lasagna. My friend ordered their “Special” Lobster tail with Spaghettini……. But, again they were out of the special. (It was 6 o’clock, not at the end of the evening.) Our server was great and very apologetic. Not his fault at all. Very poor management. That should never happen!!

   Nice food and service but the restaurant looks tired and needs a remodel.

   First time here and we will go back. The menu looked amazing but we just had the most amazing pizza ever in the wood fired oven. Our server was fun too.

   Our server was not very pleasant. A little too abrupt.

   Sorry but I cannot give a good review. Food was good, but service lacked. We had reservations, and had requested a quiet table for our anniversary. They seated us in the middle of the room at the end of a large banquet table. :-( Service very slow. No communications about when it was coming. Asked for the appetizer to come with our meal. The meal came first, and appetizer came at the very end, after we were through with our meal. I would have been ok with the long wait for food, and even with appetizer super late, but there was no attempt to communicate with us. Tomatina: you missed the mark. Food was fine, but service not so much.

   Ambiance was ok. It was dimly lit and quiet, but looked very much like an Italian chain place. Kinda like a Cattlemens or Applebee's chain. Not what I was expecting. Server (who I think was also a manager) was very slow and not very attentive. Food was mediocre. Husband's pasta was not creamy for fettuccine. It was more like a butter sauce. Garlic bread did not have a garlic flavor. My speghetti was good, not great. The salad was the most flavorful, but over dressed. Sorry. Wish it was better.

   The restaurant was noticeably understaffed and this resulted in pretty long waits for our food. That said, our waiter was pleasant and the food was great, as always.

   Took a long time to be greeted. No shrimp for the special. Told while ordering. No pesto, 3 of 5 ordered something with pesto. Told 10 mins after ordering. Identical dishes tasted very different. Kids spaghetti was extremely salty. My dish was drenched in butter, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a whole stick. I’m sure this place is good for some, but after multiple lack-luster experiences here, it is time to write them off.

   The food and drink was very tasty. However the food wasn’t very hot. It took a long time before we were approached or even given any water. The bruschetta appetizer was delicious. And the amount of food was good. Would have liked some bread with our pasta.

    Every time we take advantage of the special dinners for two, the staff look at us like we’re crazy. I show them the email special offer and then they say, “oh yeah, we do have that!” I would think they’d have a special menu printed up on a flyer, so the customer doesn’t have to explain it to them. Service was very slow. Food was okay, but nothing special. The happy hour with special small plates and discounts on beverages is a good idea. We probably won’t be doing the weekend specials anymore.
