    Enjoyed the home made lobster ravioli special tonight. We've been here twice in the last couple months because it's a convenient location to meet relatives, and the food and service are excellent. My two young granddaughters enjoy meeting me there.

    Dined with my wife for Mother's Day. It was our first time here, and I chose this place because of the very good ratings. I guess we picked a bad day because our experience was underwhelming. First, I want to state that the food was very good. We had the chicken and veal parm dishes. The service was another story. I can understand a restaurant being busy, but there's no excuse for the waiter to take almost 15 minutes to appear. If he simply stopped by and said that, I'd have no issue. I didn't know who our waiter would be, but I saw him walk by a few times before he stopped by. I was 2 minutes from getting up and leaving. I won't mention his name, but his initial starts with an A (do better), and I still tipped him well because I respect the profession. I could have said something but don't like to complain to folks handling my food, so I'll vent here in case they read this. I recommend not bringing ranch when I ordered balsamic. Bring the appetizer before the entree. We barely touched it. When preparing a to go bag, include the marinara sauce we requested. I originally booked the Newtown location, but this location was closer. I may consider the same next time or just get take out.

    I would have gave a 5 star rating but the service was horrible. Celebrating Mother’s Day with my mom and grandmother… when seated the waiter took our order (Mothers Day menu) provide us with our drinks, soup, salad and bread for the table and we did not see the waiter for 50min. The waiter did not come by the table to check on us. I had to flag down two different waiters to get refills and more bread for the table. After 50mins of waiting a different waiter approached us and said that they lost our meal ticket and it’s going to take some time …. When we received our meal our assigned waiter provided us our food and said nothing about the delay. It’s unfortunate because the food was really good.

    The quality of the food was definitely high level. The sauces were bright and just a bit different in th greatest way. We sat outside on Mother’s Day and the very busy staff was extremely gracious and accommodating.
