The salad tasted like one that was made hours before and then served out of the fridge with soggy croutons. Then the pasta sauce tasted like canned tomatoes that my husband said reminded him of spaghettio’s. Then the guy filling up water spilled my drink all over me, he did apologize but then didn’t come back with napkins. Someone else had to bring napkins like 5 minutes later while I sat there wet. Was not a good experience.

Our waitress was so wonderful. She truly was. So sorry I can’t remember but I think her name started with an “A.” She was very kind and made sure we were always good on drinks. And she was helpful when we couldn’t decide between food options. (The eggplant Parmesan was phenomenal.)

We sat there for 20 minutes before the bartender came up and offered to get us a drink. The drink was not exactly as we ordered but we didn’t send it back.Finally a waiter came and had to come back two times to check on what we wanted. We had to wait another half hour for dinner. The manager seem to be hiding behind the bar or in the kitchen. As we were leaving he came over and just made a lot of excuses like “the kitchen it was down”. He should hzve offered an apology!!

I normally do not recommend Italian but this place was excellent. We really appreciated the exceptional service throughout our night. It was neither hurried, nor were we left waiting. The food was great and the calamari was spot on (really hard for most to pull off). Really nice for a date night or other occasion.

Everything was phenomenal! From the warm crusty bread with oil, to the martinis so chilled they had chars of ice in them, to the overflowing mussels appetizer and fresh pasta entree. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Also not rushed one bit. Let us take all the time we needed to catch up with friends.
