    The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had changed our reservation last minute to add 2 guests one top of the existing 4 plus a baby, and it worked out perfectly. All of our meals and were delicious. Most of us ordered the crab truffle bucatini and steak. Everyone shared with their partners so we all got to have a pasta and secondi. The burratta and bread starter is a must order. It was a perfect evening and I am so appreciative of the staff who were so kind and helpful.

    We went at 5:30 on a Saturday. CL was only about 1/4 full. Service was excellent and professional; menu options are relatively few (4 main dishes), but they were al excellently done and without any problems. The pizza was exceptionally good. About 6:30 they turned on the "background" music that was way too loud. After we requested it, they did turn it down a bit. Note that a 10% gratuity is added for the "back office/kitchen/cleaners", and you can tip the server separately. Personally, I wish they wold just raise their prices to cover the costs instead of adding a 10% mandatory for non-service staff, but that does not detrac from the dining experience.
