    The food was delish. Service was not very good. Our waitress was not good about checking back or bring things in a timely manner. For example we requested extra dressing for our salad and she didn’t bring it until after we had our main courses which at that point we did not need it. When taking drink orders she took one persons order and then went to leave and we had to get her attention again to get the rest of the tables drinks. She also didn’t clear any plates until after we had brought the bill.

    The service at this restaurant was amazing, and they accommodated my large family for a reservation when we didn’t realize there was a major time change. I do have to tell you though that the food was just not good. We tried three different pasta dishes (chicken parm, lasagna and mushroom fettuccini), the spaghetti kids meals, a Ceasar salad and cookies. All of it was unfortunately very sub par. The food lacked flavor and the lasagna was actually too al dente. Even the iced tea was bad. I’m sorry Papa Vino! But you need to know. We went out of our way to try this restaurant based on other reviews and wish we hadn’t.

    Service was next to none. Server made mistake with both entrees and had to send back. Waited like forever to finally get food. No apology whatsoever. There was so much pepper on both entrees it was like the top of pepper shaker fell off. Sauce was thick yet separated and looked like blue cheese texture. I think good had been sitting there a long time before it came out. Server never came back to ask how everything tasted. We always get same entrees so either they got a new chef or just carelessness and person preparing entrees wasn’t watching what he or she was doing. Server finally came back to ask if we wanted boxes as most of the food was still sitting on plates. Had to wait a long time after asking twice for check. I might add that when we got there there were only a few patrons but got busier once we left. Our weekly or ever other week visits will be no more. It’s too bad as it used to be a great place with good food and service.

    We dined on a Sunday before the dinner rush, restaurant wasn’t busy at all. We were seated quickly and our server approached us quickly. She got our drinks and appetizer order then gave us a few to look at the menus. Our baked goat cheese appetizer was amazing. We highly recommended it. My Wife had chicken Marsala with angel hair pasta she described it as amazing! My entree was Grandmas recipe, which mixed chopped meatballs, meat sauce and braised beef with rigatoni and creamy goat cheese it was better than I could possibly describe in words. We finished our meal with Italian espresso and fresh cannoli again absolutely delicious. Will we make the 2+ hour drive from our home to dine there again? We absolutely will, on multiple occasions hopefully.

    restaurant very clean, nice. server very good, did take care of us... although those (not our server), that brought out food did not ask or offer any fresh grated cheese to any of the dinners. other tables around seemed to get it. food was ok, mine was lukewarm and not very saucy, needed more sauce it was dry. others said same. was a shame, was not very busy. thought portions were not very uniform, making price of dishes seem little high given quality and quantity. feel like they could do much better with food... but got to see my friends, had no issues making a reservation and got seated a little early which was a plus.. would recommend but would warn... feel like I could give them another try, hopefully will improve and get better.

    Hit or miss. One day the food is good and the next time it isn't. Chicken was like dried out scraps in sauce. Next visit it might be good. Today the bread was cold & hard. Next visit it might be hot and soft. Very disappointing.
