    I was very excited to try this with our daughter, who is a student there. She had the tortellini with beef tips. I had the veal scampi and her boyfriend had a chicken dish with eggplant. While servings were generous, the food was kind of bland. It arrived warm but not hot. The pasta seemed kind of pasty. I’ve never been at an upscale Italian restaurant that didn’t offer any fresh Parmesan over our dishes.  My wine pour was very small, but good. Overall I would say it was “ok”. Service was fine. Setting is very cute. I saw some reviews that said the music was too loud, but we found it to be ok.
