Service was very slow. food was OK, I expected better from what I read. The bathrooms were horrible. Toilets couldn't flush tissue, very dirty. Tip was added on the bill with no notification at 20%. Will not attend again.

Our last dinner at ldV just after the new owner took over was terrible. The food was okay, but the service was lacking. We were sure we would never go back. We are so happy we gave them another chance. The beautiful, bright interior, our server, Rico, and the awesome food made our visit this time wonderful. We will be back!

There five people in our party each with a different meal and salad (Insalta) Portions were big as everyone had left over food to bring home. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and the service was top notch. Been coming here for a few decades and hopefully a few decades longer.

What a hidden gem in the city!! I took my friend for her birthday. It was amazing! I couldn’t have been happier! It was to hot to sit on the patio but was an amazing experience nonetheless! I will def return. When my friend and I decided to go there for her birthday, I had check out the menu the night before had my heart set on gnocchi and they were out when I got there. That was the only bad experience I had was that they didn’t have the meal that I had my heart set on, but our waitress recommended Chicken Alfredo with beef tips so that’s what I got and it was outstanding. I couldn’t finish it all so I have chicken Alfredo with beef tips for lunch and because they’re Caesar salad looks so amazing and I had forgotten to order it before my entrée. I ordered the Caesar salad to take home so looking for that meal today. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend classy just such a nice little breath of fresh air not loud obnoxious like a lot of the restaurants downtown you know that a bunch of people at the bar getting hammered and being loud and obnoxious just a very nice quiet and I would like to say clean very clean environment. The ambience was perfect. I really can’t say enough good things about this place. I will definitely come back. I want that gnocchi!!

There was a rat in the outdoor seating courtyard area. Someone who worked the front door security knew I saw the rat and also saw it himself but never addressed the issue. I was expecting some sort of resolution

Do not order any red meat if you like it well done, the chef only will make medium which is madness.
