We have dined here frequently, and I’ve always enjoyed our experience. Yesterday was no exception. Samantha was an attentive and prompt server without being intrusive. She was patient as we made drink selections, and had worthwhile suggestions. Appetizers included the charcuterie board, which we added warm olives, and the calamari. All were delicious as expected. Mains included the tagliatelle special, the roast chicken, the beet salad, and the Queensboro pizza. The only comment we would have is the pizza crust was way too thin. Someone stretched it far too thin, and so the Pizza had almost no integrity. Flavours were great, but the crust was problematic. We finished our meal with the passionfruit cheesecake and the Affogato along with some post dinner drinks. All in all a very enjoyable evening!

Beautiful spot, we will be back. Our waiter, Wil, was very friendly and efficient. The food was very good other than the fish and chips which is a very small portion but tasty. Looks more like a starter. Great wine and beer selection. Patio was a great option on a nice day.

The service was excellent and we both enjoyed the passionfruit cheesecake. The dinner feature pasta was overly salty, however.

We had a group dinner of nine people. We made reservations ahead of time, but it was a total mixup because the first group that arrived was put at one table and the second group that arrived was told there was no reservation and put at another table at the other side of the restaurant. It took us 20 minutes to figure out that we were all in the restaurant but in different places. There was no apology. We enjoyed the dinner. Food was good we were not bothered, but to the point that as soon as we paid the bill, the waitress completely disappeared. There was no more water or any other questions, but had no problem charging $80 tip to $500 dinner bill.

A great place to eat but the prices are a bit high for what you get. The quality of the food was excellent.
