We visited for the first time before the Seinfeld concert at The Pavillion. We had 6:30 pm reservations and were seated promptly. Our oder was taken fairly quickly and our apps/salad arrived in about 5 minutes...then nothing for over 30 minutes. At one point or server came over and asked if we wanted anything else and we said, " yes, our entrees". He was apologetic and the restaurant was clearly understaffed and/or unprepared for the full house. We finally got our food close to 7:30pm and had to wolf it down to make the show. The pork chop was very good. The scallop entree had 3 scallops for $29 and it was nothing special.

As a food enthusiast and influencer, I would like to share my recent dining experience. Initially, I approached this establishment with some skepticism; however, I ultimately decided to give it a chance. Be ready to order a bottle of wine, as the cheaper options are only available by the glass. The mussels were satisfactory, the toasted bread was pleasant, and the accompanying sauce was enjoyable. Unfortunately, the quality of subsequent dishes declined significantly. The lemon iced tea was excessively diluted, prompting me to change my order. The marinara sauce was overly sweet, and the meatballs lacked the desired texture, being rather dense. Additionally, the calamari appeared to be pre-packaged and frozen. The scallops were small in quantity—only four pieces—and were served with what could be described as a risotto. The double pork chop was dry, with little flavor. Furthermore, the Caesar salad was notably dry, requiring additional dressing to enhance flavor, and the croutons were excessively hard. In summary, this dining experience did not meet the expectations typically associated with authentic Italian cuisine.

Our second visit. The first was a wonderful experience, the second even more so. The meal was outstanding and the high-point of the night was speaking with the chef. Excellent wine selection and priced very reasonable. Looking forward to our next visit.
