    Acoustics could be better but service and food make up for that! Was sad that there was no Tiamisu to be had but Salted Caramel helped take away the sting ! Thank you for the Prosecco! The entire evening was a lovely way to celebrate our Anniversary!

    Family birthday celebration with outstanding food and service as always. This is a wonderful place for celebrations. The veal piccata, lasagne, and taglierini portofino were amazing. We come here several times per year and always have a great meal with excellent service. Our server Princ did a fantastic job. Well worth the drive for a great time.

    Since I have requested a table in a specific area more than a month ago, I think it would have been appropriate to contact me to advise that area was reserved for a special function and make arrangements for an agreed upon alternative.

    Broken hight chair for kid (safety issue), took over 20 mins to replace. Waters arrive late, bread too (for toddler). Place is gorgeous, love atmosphere but waitress is not trained well. She was very nice and sweet, but a bit slow and not much attentional.

    Fantastic service and food. This is the place we had our wedding reception a few years ago and we have made it a priority to go every year on our anniversary. The staff is incredible and helpful with recommendations for cocktails and food. The food is always top quality and the portion sizes are perfect. I recommend the truffle fries and caprese. The ribeye was perfect, flavorful, and prepared exactly as ordered. My wife had the brick chicken and it was excellent and juicy. The tiramisu is one of the best I have ever had.

    This was fresh food, hearty, and what you should expect from an Italian restaurant. Highly recommend the fettuccine with prosciutto. The fish special that night was halibut topped with lobster, and the gnocchi was incredible.

    My pizza was over cooked and burned having very little sauce. I could not get a non-alcoholic wine, nor a dark beer which I have always ordered before. The gelatto was excelent and again no creme brulee which I have always had before.

    As usual, all dishes were top. The specialty fish was just ok by delicious standards. Overly priced for the rush at $48. Woulda paid in the $20’s as it was just a grilled fish on risotto. But the service was friendly and festive. So…ok.

    I expected to have a quiet dinner with my wife & was very disappointed. The reservation confirmation had threats of loosing the reservation. Got a table for 4 and asked for a table for 2 but was refused & had to keep the table assigned. Couldn't read Italian so the menu was a mystery & what we ordered was not available. The noise was so loud we had difficulty speaking to each other or hearing the waiter. Felt like we were rushed out to make room for the next customers.

    Been dining there since the opening. The food is consistently great. Service has varied over the years but is usually pretty good. Lately, and with all the growth in the area, getting a seating is more difficult and requires advance reservations. Like everything, prices have gone way up so it’s become more of a special occasion place for us instead of a weekly occurrence.

    Worst night out ever. We made reservations using Open Table. We received notice not to be late or reservations would be forfeited and I would be charged $200 which was $25 per person. We actually got there early. After our reservation time we were told a large party was delayed in leaving which pushed our seating out at least 30 minutes. We were seated at 8:10 next to an exit door that people were exiting to smoke. It took a half hour after seating to receive water. We asked for bread and was told there was none and they had to bake more. Five tables around us that were seated after us received bread and their food before us. We never received refills on water. The manager did get involved. We were comped a bottle of wine and desserts. The food was amazing as usual but I feel service was poor and the event team should have been more in charge of the large party that delayed many other patrons. I have been here many times over the years. Raved about how wonderful this restaurant is and we came to celebrate two birthdays 70 & 75. This is the first time I have ever been here and been disappointed. Our waitress was sweet but overwhelmed. I think there should haven’t been more help for such a large crowd. The restaurant was packed.

    While the food was excellent, and the wine very good, the ambiance was spoiled by two things - a large party seated right near our table for two and a dusty, broken light attached to the wall next to our table. Other than that, a very delicious meal shared with the one I love.

    The food and quality of service was great as always. However, we were seated next to a table of unsupervised >6yr olds who became increasingly bored and loud. All the parents of the children were seated nearby slowly enjoying their conversations and wine. While I he rest of the diners gave him hem looks of disapproval. The staff did nothing. Even after nicely requesting a different table. We told “they had reservations”. Well, I drove 120 miles and made our reservations 6 weeks ago! I didn’t even get a desert as compensation.

    I am not sure what was going on last night, this has generally been our go to for out of town guests and special occasions. We were juggled between a few waiters/waitresses, but our main waiter frequently just disappeared, it was our anniversary and we were lead to believe the two prosecos offered were complimentary but they were billed, I didn't fuss about it and will be back as the food is outstanding, but the service left a lot to be desired.
