Not the best experience for our first time. Waited over 20 minutes for a server. Had no menus. Meatballs were raw. Multiple times during our meal wrong dishes or drinks being brought to us. Drink glasses were dirty with lip stick on them. Chaotic environment if sitting outside.

Was very friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Marisa was our waitress and she provided excellent service. Could not be more happy with our dishes. There were 5 of us and everything came out quickly and exactly the way we ordered.

Everything was great! Our server was exceptional as well as the food. Portions could have been larger especially for the price you are paying as we all know Pasta is cheap even when its homemade. I wish I remembered our servers name but he couldn't have been more helpful in his recommendations and attentiveness. Will definitely be back.
