We are regulars here and love the food. Today however the Margherita pizza was dripping with oil and soggy. I expect a bit more crispness to the crust here. Otherwise the service was great.

The service was terrible. We waited 30 minutes before anyone came to our table. Even after telling the hostess, no one stopped by the table. They finally took our drink order and waited an additional 20 minutes for the drinks and our food order to be taken. The food was good but not exceptional. It’s unfortunate because we have had a better experience in the past.

A neighborhood favorite was just so disappointing last night. Food was good as always but the service was terrible. When you have to ask four times for your pre dinner drinks to be checked on, never mind actually receiving them, it’s an issue. Half them arrived mid meal and the last one just before the plates were cleared. It just seemed like the whole place was chaotic & understaffed.

The food was excellent. We were a bit disappointed that other tables had been given bread and we did not. We did ask and the waiter brought it over eventually. The Arancini and Crocche were excellent. Our main courses were very very good. Fuselli Norcia with hot and sweet sausage. Also the Fettuccini Bolgnese. Both very good with great presentation and the flavors of the sauces were excellent. Would highly recommend eating here.
