"Cute little hole in the wall Italian place. Sort of expensive (I used a Trubate)for what you get. The sword fish was great, the pasts was average. Good for lunch, but not super classy."

"Food flavor and presentation was very good to great. Service was clueless (took 10 minutes to be acknowledged, then didn't take our drink order. Brought the (hot) appetizer but no drinks yet. I had to remind them.)
They are also clueless to diner privacy: they tried to set a two-top up next to ours, with a mere 6" on either side between us and another 2-top. I observed a noisy relocation of a large table, creating a large empty spot with just chairs, while people were dining. It was late-ish (9pm) and there was no need to do this disruptive change until after all diners had left for the evening.
Due to cramped tables, the waiter had to stand behind me to take orders (awkward.) Wine cooler was placed directly behind me (hard to reach.)"

"Fabulous! We could not believe how each dish was prepared with such special care. The mushroom ravioli split as an appetizer was phenomenal. The eggplant was NOT breaded and very flavorful. Husband had chicken marsala and raved about how good the sauce was with just the right amount of flavor. Tiramisu split for dessert was the best! Cannot wait to go back to try some of the other unique dishes."

"I found the menu pretty boring. Just your typical Italian restaurant food. The food was well prepared, but not special. In my opinion, our waiter did a poor job. When listing the specialties, he only faced my husband, yet didn't even look at him, acting quite disinterested. I never felt that he really cared about his customers. The espressos, which I expect to be served with dessert, came 5 minutes late - in two individual batches. I was served a dessert I had not ordered. When I pointed it out to our waiter, he immediately asked if I had touched the first one (which I had, because from the looks, it could have been the correct one). Then he remarked that now it could not be served to another customer."
