    The waitress was not well seasoned. Raw and didn't have a clue on how to handle guests. Slow is an understatement. Food came out at different times. Steak overcooked. Pizza fantastic. Would go back but they need to train their staff how to be great. UPDATE....The restaurant manager contacted us after I sent them a message. WOW. They do take it seriously and apologized. They will check into the waitress and give her that little extra help to make her a wonderful waitress. Thank you A-16.

    I have had mixed experiences here over the years but have to say they were on their game last night. The fave bean puree with chicory appetizer is rarely found and is common in Puglia, Italy. Their rendition is as good as any I have had in Italy. They had a vegetarian bean soup which was outstanding. Their pizza were all terrific although they were a bit skimpy on the toppings. Will be visiting again soon.
