   Food was great, server was great, but we were there for a business dinner and the staff basically kicked us out. Can’t say I’ve ever had that happen.

   The food was average at best. The server was not aware that he is in the service industry. We felt rushed the entire meal. Also, when ordering a pasta dish, you shouldn't be made to feel like an inconvenience to the server when asking for parmesan cheese. I wont be coming back to this restaurant.

   The crab cake was incredibly fresh, prepared perfectly with a complementary sauce. Our server was exceptionally professional, pleasantly attentive, and gracious .

   The good, the bad and the ugly. Let’s start with the good. The food was good - everything from the sausage and peppers to the fried calamari to the veal piccata was all very tasty. The 8-finger cavatelli arrabiata was a bit bland. Also good was the size of the credit ($62) our party of four was given because of our experience. Now to the bad: I’ve heard of bread being provided only on request, but how about asking us if we wanted any? And then when we asked about it, we learned that we separately had to ask for olive oil or butter, which is why neither was provided. Also bad was the manager we finally flagged down when our waitress appeared to have joined the Witness Protection Program. He never apologized nor checked back with us, but, on the positive side, he must have been the one who comped our appetizers. Now, the ugly. Our waitress (whose name we didn’t catch - something “ana” - Eastern European) was terrible. Yes, we were seated in what was obviously an overflow room and we were her only table there but she actively ignored us. We had to ask for water - twice. A member of our party drinks a lot of Diet Coke and had to repeatedly ask for refills. Even after we complained, we received no apology, no improvement in service, etc. It’s a shame because the food was good.

   We went there to celebrate my husband's birthday. I had received a gift certificate for this restaurant. I will start out by saying the service was very good and our waiter was attentive. On the other hand, the food was mediocre for the price. I had veal piccata which didn't have a whole lot of flavor. It comes with a side of pasta so I asked for gluten-free because on the menu it says gluten free is available upon request. The waiter told me that the gluten free as the side is not interchangeable, it had to be the regular pasta. I thought that was pretty ridiculous since even gluten-free pasta is cheap. My husband had lasagna which he thought the sauce tasted like Chef Boyardee. The one good thing is that the waiter remembered it was my husband's birthday and brought us a candle with a few mini cannolis on the house. The other thing I didnt like was everything is a la carte. As I think about it, this is a chain restaurant and definitely did not have the family restaurant feel like other smaller Italian restaurants, which I like better. Like Rocco Vino in Norridge. Everything about that restaurant is excellent!
