    Restaurant under new management. Usually quite good. However, tonight the pizza was kind of soggy, and my veal Marsala was only lukewarm. we will give him another try.

    Love this restaurant and we eat here often. Our favorite waiter is Nacho but we didn’t have him last night. Food was delicious but I think our waiter was new and missed a couple things. We sat too close to the door and we’ll change that next time. Overall was fun and it’s great it’s now open for lunch again.

    Pleasant though stereotypical decor. Very good service. Food was good but the menu is limited, in my opinion. The wine list is limited to low and mid range choices. Not bad wine, just basic. Overall a nice dining experience

    I was disappointed to not have accommodation on a 7 year old who wanted a piece of salmon and chicken with no sides. I had to buy 2 meals and have the sides go to waste. The salmon was over cooked and bottom was crunchy because it was left in the pan too long. We also had to wait almost 15 minutes for the last meal to show up and was told they forgot to bring it with everything else so that tells me it was reheated. I ordered same meal as another person at my table and it appeared the meal was made together. The seafood was not divided equally so one plate was heavy on all the seafood and the other lacked.

    It was ok, but not great. Food was average. Despite the fact that it wasn’t busy - this was lunchtime - service was quite slow. My friend had to find our server to request a box. I’m told that this is under new ownership (as of 7 or 8 months ago). I’ve heard similar stories from friends - slow service, food average. I probably won’t go back.

    The food is excellent and they have a good wine list. I had cioppino which while having a thin soup had good flavor. The serving was a good size The Cesar salad was with a light dressing thus not a real Cesar. The pizza is a good size large enough to share we were not rushed but parking is right here and noise level is extra high

    Service was lacking. We were the only other table other than a party of about 10-12 people. It appears the hostess stepped in the help out. I had to ask for menus. It took about 15 mins to get drinks served, I asked for bread and it was never served, I had to ask for refills, and had to ask for the check. She was polite, but the service itself was lacking. I was also overcharged by $2 for a drink that was included in the kids meal, but at that point I just let it go.

    Wonderful food! This is my go to place when I want a good Italian dinner that is better than home style but not so fancy that it's hard to tell it's Italian. Many items on the menu that most Italian restaurants don't have. However, if you want to enjoy an excellent meal with conversation, plan on going during an hour that isn't busy so you can hear each other while you enjoy your meal.

    Everything was phenomenal! We had a warm welcome from the hostess and that always sets the tone in my book. Our waiter Alfredo was fantastic and had great recommendations. The team that assisted Alfredo did a wonderful job as well and made sure our table was well taken care of. Very enjoyable for me and my family. Thank You for a most pleasant experience!

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME /MONEY AT THIS RESTAURANT. THEY ARE NOT HANDICAP FRIENDLY AS STATES ON THIER WEBSITE. We had a reservation, we were told the restaurant would not honor it. They tried to put us outside ( after confirming inside). She told us it was that or no table. I am disabled and un- able to go up the stairs to the patio. No attempt was made to assist us. They just don't care. It was just myself and my husband. I cannot believe I was treated that way.

    The food and service are really great; however, even with a reservation there is a long wait time which is neither acceptable nor justifiable; especially since there is not a real waiting area. The pasta and seafood dishes are really great. Divina has one of the best Cioppinos that I have ever tasted.
