The food was all delicious, everything we ordered tasted great. We very much enjoyed our meal. The service, however, was another story. Our waiter seemed bothered and annoyed to have to be waiting on us. One word answers to questions. We ordered a bottle of wine, an appetizer, entrees and dessert. I had to stop him from walking away just to add shrimp to my pasta. When we finished our entrees he asked if we were ready for the check which made it awkward to ask for a dessert menu. We are on vacation and went out to enjoy a kid-free dinner. We probably would’ve spent even more money if he had been the tiniest bit receptive. Clearly he doesn’t understand the concept that the more money we spend, the larger his tip. We still tipped well because we’re decent people but the service ruined the meal for us. We vacation here often but likely won’t be back due to the poor service which is unfortunate because the food was great.

Authentic Italian food. Great taste and quality. Super specials, the veal chop is awesome. Attentive and knowledgeable service. Excellent wines. Just a shame no cocktails (no liquor licence) so for one of our party who is a cocktail drinker but non beer, non wine drinker, non fizzy soda, it’s water only!! The only down side to a great evening. This was a repeat visit and the standard was maintained. Well done CI.
