"Food is even worse with the attitude of the cashier. Pizza looked microwaved. Thankfully, another tried to save our time by offering to make my canolli:) experience was not very good !"

"Flavorful delicious meal. I highly recommend. I’ve heard so many praises about the food here and they were right. Can’t wait to go back and try another dish!"

"I came in to get a quick drink and something to eat. I. To say I was a second class citizen would be too kind. I watched others come to the bar and sit maybe 30-45 mins after me get more attention and service than I got. My quick meal turned into almost a two hour affair as it was horrible service not worth the wait and the experience. The TVs at the bar play ads for streaming services and then shut off. The staff ignores anyone they don’t know and it’s a big Italian party for anyone who is family and if you aren’t part of their family - don’t bother. For my meal I was given one roll, while others who came in with only one eating were give two. Not that I needed two but I can clearly see the inconsistency of service from this place. I would not recommend. I am extremely disappointed with this location and service. The food- I got eggplant with pasta - the pasta was cold and the eggplant was good! But doesn’t make up for everything else. The sauce is really wonderful but again, I wouldn’t deal with service to taste it - save your time and go to a grocery store and get some canned sauce - you’ll thank me. At the end of my meal I watched five people standing by the hostess stand and me with a full plate of food waiting for a box. I finally got some attention and asked for a box - after 15 mins I was still waiting! Finally a second bartender finally came to help me wrap it up. I couldn’t get out of this place fast enough. And if I had to listen to the bar back apologize that he wasn’t a bartender one more time I would have screamed as he was much more attentive than anyone else I experienced this evening. Actually I am fully convinced the only reason I actual got my bill was because he said something. To end this review let me say something nice - it’s a place in Schenectady to get food and that’s something."

"This restaurant undoubtedly deserves a much higher average rating of 4.4 stars. We had a phenomenal experience here and cannot wait for our next trip here. We were greeted by friendly staff. Our server, Jamie, recommended her favorite dish and chatted with us during a busy night. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. The food is the highlight of this place. We were so eager to dig in and enjoy the delicious food that we didn't get a photo when it first came out. It was fresh and so tasty. Then the dessert was an experience in and of itself. They have really thought everything out and tailored to their customers. Instead of a traditional dessert menu, they bring out a cart with every dessert on it so you can visually see the dessert making it near impossible to deny. My partner has had creme brulee in multiple different countries, including France and this has been the best one he's ever had! He jokingly asked the server for the recipe and she actually came back with it written out by the chef!!! As a vegetarian, I had options and felt comfortable enough to ask questions about the menu without fear of judgment. The eggplant rollatini is out of this world?!?!? We will be returning as this has quickly become a top 5 in our household!"

"We loved it. Great food. I had mussels as an app that were simmered in sauce. Bread very good. Service was outstanding, you wanted or waited for nothing. Strange red lights that didn't affect the vibe negatively but it impacts the pics for review. I woukd say this is worth a stop if your in the area"
