This was our second time and although the cioppino was as AMAZING as last time, the chicken piccata lacked flavor this time. The service staff was lovely but seemed quite overwhelmed.

Food was amazing but staff looked like they didn't even want to be there. Took forever to get a menu and drinks started. We were completely forgotten about. The silverware and cups were very dirty as well.

We enjoyed the restaurant but it appeared to only have one waiter working the whole room. The bread was freshly baked and excellent. We both ordered the veal scallopini and while it was flavorful, it was not tender. The chocolate desert was quite good. We also enjoyed the Montepulciano D'Abruzzo wine. Overall, very good but I'm glad we were there on a slower night.

I was here a year ago and it was amazing! Couldn’t wait to come back. A year later, everything was different and not in a good way. The table menus were dirty. We were greeted with a tepid hello. The bruschetta tasted like frozen pizza bites. The gnocchi was ok but way too saturated in sauce. Atmosphere was blah and so was the service. Two thumbs down.

Server was inept. Made my husband a martini instead of margarita. He served me wine in a dirty glass that had dark lipstick on it. Food was sub par. Not sure if it was a new cook but it was TERRIBLE. We stayed patient as long as possible because we knew they were short staffed, however, our server couldn’t remember to bring us clean utensils, napkins, or bread after two requests, so I got up and got the utensils and napkins myself off a table indoors. Still never received the bread. If you are looking for a relaxing dining experience with good food and decent service, this is not the place!!!

We had a terrible experience. Our two children have egg and dairy allergy. Our server was not helpful at all. He was abrupt and I found him to be rude. Even asking questions on the wine list he was unable to assist. We ended up leaving and cancelling our food order as he indicated there was nothing our kids could eat. Just not helpful at all.

The funghi bruschetta and our pasta dishes were great. The salad was salty. The chianti was over priced for the quality of wine, and we've had plenty of chianti to know the difference. We would go back, but would likely bring our own wine. Friendly service.
