    My main course was a very rich and flavorful fettuccine dish. The service and ambience were great. Appetizers were not as great - the calamari was a bit chewy, but the main course more than made up for it. The salad was delicious and very fresh. I would definitely return, but keep my orders to just main entrees and a salad.

    My waiter was amazing, the food was very delicious. I would highly recommend this place to family and friends. It was the first time my family and I had been there. Would definitely go again. But I was very disappointed that we went to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and I called ahead to see if happy birthday could had be sang to her and I was told Yes!!!! To my surprise our came with a slice of cake with the candle out and no one came to sing happy birthday with us. Very disappointed

    Service was fantastic. We sat outside and enjoyed the people watching. Great location to walk Old Town after dinner. We enjoyed the Lobester Raviloi, the fish special was Halibit. Meat balls with Bolognese sauce and the Mushroom Gnocchi. The garlic bread was a great addition to the meal. Food was fresh, and all tasted amazing. The Meat Ball dish serving was smaller than expected so I would recommend adding a salad.

    We went here for a late dinner since a) this restaurant is open late unlike many others located closer to our hotel and b) the reviews were really encouraging. The hostess and server were really nice and attentive. The food, though, was pretty salty, with both of the pasta dishes we ordered being at the upper limit of edible, while the pizza was well beyond edible; my wife had taken a single bite and that was all she could take. Our kid commented on this making the customer thirstier, which may be an astute observation for a teenager;-) The server checked with the kitchen to see if they could tone down the salt level, but this was apparently not possible; kudos for not letting my wife order the same thing again. He suggested ordering something else, which we did; a salad with prosciutto, which was quite good and not salty;-) When the bill came, it had the original pizza listed but also an equivalent credit, so no problem. Interestingly, the section at the end of the bill showing suggested tip amounts had some serious math problems. Ours was a sub $100 bill, even with the tax, which should never be factored into these calculations but often is (pet peeve), yet, for example, the 15% tip was listed as being equal to $18. Some funny math going on here and I hope this is an honest mistake. I'd encourage the restaurant to check their software. I don't think we'd go back there anytime soon.
