    Our server worked hard to find a wine that was close to Pinot Grigio and it was very tasty. Of course the arancini was great-best in town. Sat outside on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. The Mediterranean salad was a very tasty and sumptuous one. Huge portion!

    Food was terrific. Most portions were great. Wish that they had not covered the rosemary potatoes with marinara sauce and that we had known the ravioli portion was small. The lasagna was the best! Wait-staff was amazing! Restaurant is a little noisy, especially as it filled up with diners, but not a huge problem.

    Food was excellent especially the Bene salad. Splurged and had the tiramisu. So good. The restaurant wasn't busy and many open tables. Was a bit irritated that we were sat at a 2-top against the bar wall... wasn't a comfortable spot and certainly not warranted on a sparsely populated night. Guess reserving was not rewarded. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    Loved food. Only one other table while we were there and service nonexistent. You have to ask for bread (we found out after meal). I will go back for food with understanding that service not worthy of tip (but we still tipped which contributes to problem)

    Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you loved the food but sorry the service fell short. Your comments are helpful, and we’ll address them with our team to ensure a better experience moving forward.

    It was a quite Saturday late lunch and it was wonderful! The grilled focaccia and mushroom arancini were excellent. We had the lasagna, the Gia sandwich which were both fantastic. Their Caesar salad is like none other! Great food, great service. We will be back!

    Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed everything, from the focaccia to the Caesar salad. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Food was amazing. Our apps and entrees came out hot and at a decent time. You could tell everything was prepared in house. Looking forward to our next trip back.
