"Giving it 3 stars because i feel bad panning a local restaurant. There was zero effort from staff. Waters never refilled. Bread never refilled. Drinks flowed like molasses. Had to hunt down staff to get second beer and it wasn’t that the staff was busy. They were just hanging out checking their phones. Tough to take when you’re check is almost 100 a head. Food was mediocre at best. No specials and menu is limiting.don’t bother with deserts. Go across the street for ice cream instead. Only compliment would be that its a nice space."

"We had the fried artichoke which was really tender and delicious. The lunch paninis were delicious and come with a side salad. Good variety of desserts too. Live music on Sunday lunch time."

"Very good chicken marsala this evening. Modern and pleasant atmosphere. High top tables. Very pleasant, attentive, and quick barkeep - Sara. Moderate prices. Would definitely return."

"Food was delicious! Prices seemed a little high for how casual the ambience was (especially outside on metal blue tables) but everything was great - INCREDIBLE arancini. Though the servers were loudly moving around lots of tables next to us in the middle of our dinner which was a bit distracting, but nothing we could've done about that."

"The food is overpriced and the waiters are dressed unprofessionally. The food itself is also not anything special. DO NOT GET THE OCTOPUS! It is way to salty and it looks like it was just thrown together. The calamari is ok. The pasta doesn’t have much flavor. The bread is under proofed. The kitchen is unsanitary the chefs aren’t wearing hair nets. In addition I saw one waiter pick something off a plate and throw it to the ground then lick her fingers. Disgusting."
