New Year’s Eve. Disappointed. The arranchiini was excellent as was the salmon . However my scampi was too lemony and my friend’s eggplant was soggy. And the sauce was like tomato soup. We did complain and got a free dessert but we won’t be back.

We been celebrating X’mas since last three Christmas, this year we felt it’s losing that comfy personal touch. Earlier the manger would come in , we will get some great wine recommendations, etc but this year we didn’t feel that welcoming. Overall the food consistency is still same except they messed up one of our orders. Still it’s a nice place for a special occasion or large family dinner during important days / events. As we couldn’t connect we missed the recommendations of some of their favorites amaro / desserts. Hopefully they read this and bring back that great experience we looking forward to once again.

It is understood that restaurants are understaffed due to COVID. However, the waitress showed no sense of hustle and was never to be found. Fortunately we had a group that wanted to linger. The ambience is horrible but most of the food was good and reasonably priced. I t is a far cry from Osteria Posto that has closed.

This is primarily a pizza restaurant. But the vegetarian pizza had a soggy bottom crust. It was also very salty. The chicken Parmesan sandwich was good. The waiter recommended the Parmesan dishes. Seems like everything is fried. Lots of food but nothing noteworthy. Servers we’re friendly.

Was not crowded so we were a bit surprised they lost our order. Waited 20 minutes for our salads. Caesar was delicious. Chicken in my piccata was very bland thought pasta was good. Other 2 meals had high praise. Then waited 25 minutes for 3 desserts. We went to cancel and they arrived with the gelato and panna cotta. The zeppole were still not ready. We took the 2 to go. Our server was very friendly, personable and would want her again. Would be willing to try here again

Service was great….food was very good. Pasta was excellent along with fried mozzarella for appetizer. Ordered veal parmigiana….it was good but not great - veal was too thick. Other than that - excellent. Chicken, ziti and broccoli was good. Will try again.

The “fresh linguine” was actually linguine in marinara sauce that must have been sitting underneath a heat lamp a long time because it was stuck in one big clump. It wasn’t even edible. The past 2 or 3 times I’ve been the food has not been good, probably won’t be going back.

The food was horrible and the waiter was very snarky. We all thought he was making fun of us the whole entire meal. The food was below average from what I remember it being and slightly overpriced for its quality. The Arancini was supposed to have beef and peas in it and they didn’t have any. The waiter brought out more on him and they still didn’t have any beef and peas in them. Very low quality food and the service was very uncomforting.

It all started when the drinks took almost 35 minutes to arrive. Not to mention a simple glass of water. By the time the waiter came to take our order we had been sitting for an hour since our reservation time. We waited 30 more minutes for our food to arrive only for it to be burnt and smelling like cigarettes. The waiter even promised us a free dessert due to our disappointment, and we never got that either. We couldn’t wait to get out of there. I will not be returning.

I made outdoor reservations, yet when I arrived I saw that outdoor seating was not set up. So we had to eat indoors. I feel I should have been notified in advance. Our waiter was very nice. Food was very basic Italian-American, not anything I would go out off my way for. I had the veal parmigiana & it tasted fine.

We sat outside but our server must have been new. He brought bread but did not bring plates and silverware. Then he placed our order and when asked for a side of marinara sauce, he brought hot sauce. He took our dessert order, it never came then he came with the check, and we said we ordered dessert? It was then another 20 minutes before the dessert came out. We had finished dessert and then it was another 20 minutes before the check came. It was a LONG night.

We dined here with our two young children (both under 5) - the food was pretty good and the server was lovely, but the outdoor space was empty except for us and two other tables. It was a relatively chilly evening and they refused to sit us at one of the 20-25 empty tables that were next to a space heater, putting us at a table in the middle of the courtyard. When we asked them if we could sit next to a space heater, particularly given that we had our kids and they tend to get cold easier, they refused and told us those tables were all reserved for reservations (which we had also made). We even promised to leave within an hour (with our kids, there's usually an expiration on how long they'll behave anyway), and they still said no. When we left, a few of the tables had filled but about half the tables next to the space heater were still empty. I noticed two other families who showed up with their kids and they were also seated next to us. We won't be dining here again.

Sat outside on a cool sunny day and had a very nice lunch. Upon arriving, we were informed that the kitchen was understaffed & that food was coming out slowly. We didn’t notice it. Our server Kareem was friendly & attentive and brought us bread with dipping oil to munch on while we waited. He checked with us periodically throughout our meal. We had 2 pizzas & they had nice dough and tasty toppings. Overall a very pleasant experience.

We ordered drinks and food. We ordered the food when the drinks came. Sometime later the waiter came back and asked us if we wanted to order food. We told the waiter we already ordered. Nearly an hour after we were seated, there was still no food. We paid for the drinks and left. Very poor service.
