Let me begin with the great! The Lasagna! Yummo! I tried 4 different cocktails, all fabulous. Now the not so great...I ordered a half Caesar salad ($4) and a friend ordered the whole Caesar salad ($8) and they were nearly the same size. The whole salad should of been MUCH larger for $8. The cannoli was not my favorite. I did not like the flavoring in the cheese. Our server. I think she was new. Very awkward. I have been a waitress and wanted to give her a few tips but resisted. Do not ask us every 5 minutes if we need anything and stand there when we say no. It was very awkward. If our water glasses are below half full, fill them, don't ask. Our conversation was CONSTANTLy interrupted, very frustrating. She did give us very good suggestions on drinks and food options. Then stood there and stared at us after we said we want to wait on our drinks. She was very sweet but just needs more practice. The lasagna and cocktails won the 3 star rating.

The catch of the day was Salmon over risotto. My friends loved it. I had eggplant parmigiana and was disappointed. There were thick pieces of baked eggplant layered with sauce and mozzarella. The eggplant was mushy and it just was not good.

We visited during Sunday brunch. There were only 2 other groups dining- it was an hour before closing - and staff was limited. It took quite a while to place our order since the one server was busy with a large table. But the server was very friendly/helpful, and the food was amazing. The kitchen took a little longer than I would have liked to prepare the food, but I also know they make everything to order and I can appreciate that. We ordered the vegan pizza and the mushroom "foragers delight" - both really tasty. I will definitely be back.

This is a new venue working with the location at Brightleaf. Menu items have been great. Bartender is excellent and all can recommend wine pairing really well with your dinner choice.

Just left restaurant after one of my worst restaurant experiences in years. Arrived 10 minutes prior to our reservation time, and it took the hostess almost 20 minutes just to recognize us- or anyone else in line. The took another 10 minutes to return when she proceeded to mumble something and wander with us until she found a table. Another 10 minutes until a waiter arrived, poured water, took a wine order, offered to bring bread, and then disappeared for more time. Took food order which took forever. Salads were poor to average and significantly overpriced. Bread never came. Told a fresh loaf was coming out of oven. After another extended period day old sandwich bread was brought. 1.25 hours after reservation time, meal arrived. Lasagna tasted like store bought frozen. Pasta was fair, though not as described. Will NEVER return here. 1 out of 10 service. 3 out of 10 food. So many better area Italian restaurants. NO reason to waste your time and money here. And no one associated with the restaurant seems to give a hoot.
