Udually Subito is one if my favorite lunch/brunch places. However, on this day I think they were just so busy they couldn’t handle it. The server never came to refill our drinks(we had to ask- cold coffee is the worst) & the fries were cold. Service was slow & no attention at all from the server. I will still go back because I know this is not the norm but took a friend for the first time so I was disappointed.

We had a little birthday party for our 40 year old son and his two young daughters. This was his first birthday since a recent divorce. The manager and staff set us up outside, as requested. Our waitress was very good. She provided us with everything we needed. The riverside environment was perfect, the food was great (even the kids menu had great selections) and the evening was topped off with a special ice cream and cake for our son. Thanks for providing a special celebration for us!
