    Our waitress was super helpful and described the menu and wine list with perfect detail, she was awesome. Lamb pappardelle was phenomenal and the beef carpaccio and arancini were very good as well. Highly recommend.

    Absolutely delicious food! Now one of my top 2 Cameron Mitchell restaurants! Service was great. Drinks were outstanding. And the food.. OMG! It was very loud , hard to converse with my guests , but we loved it nonetheless. I highly recommend. The menu was different from what’s shown on open table, but we all found salads and entrees we liked. You must try Martini Modern Italian!!

    What a wonderful restaurant! Everything from the hostess, wait staff and food where fantastic! I had the lamb pappardelle and my husband had the scallops and we had tiramisu for dessert. All of these dishes were expertly prepared and presented…eating them was a delicious delight. We highly recommend this restaurant!

    Good dinner for 4 friends and within walking distance to Nationwide Arena. Food was very good. Service was fairly slow as our dining experience took a little over 2 hours. Waitress was very helpful, but came back and let us know she was stalling to take our order since a big table's order was just placed. It would be nice if that was communicated earlier instead of us waiting.
