    Service very slow; wine was not good; food has gone downhill- last visit was 6 years ago and was one of our favorites. Disappointed

    This was hands down the most unexpectedly iconic dinner I’ve had. Violinists. Singers. Strong cocktails. The best waiter ever named Ben. 11/10 vibes.

    As always the service and food is excellent! The meatballs are to die for and the chicken parm equally as good! My family loves the red sauce, it is just the way we love it!

    Pasta dish was good. Al dente and fresh clams. Steak was dissappointing. Meat was good - but almost no seasoning and it came on a plate only with broccoli on the side. The broccoli was boiled with no added salt to the cooking water - so zero taste. I guess I have learned not to order steak when I could have opted for traditional Italian dishes. Service was good - very fast and attentive. Noise level in restaurant very high almost unbearable. Impossible to have a conversation across the table.
