    Unbelievable experience. The restaurant is beautiful, I felt like I was in Italy. My last trip to Italy was in 2014. The food here is as good if not better than the food in Italy.

    It was our first time here visiting from out of town to celebrate a birthday. The manager was very nice and also our waitress Bella I asked if he would make something that was not on the menu and he said absolutely to accommodate us as I wanted chicken francese . All of our meals were very good We will definitely be back. 😊

    I would have given 5 stars except they served no coffee on Sundays and the were out of a certain beer requested. That being said restaurant was very good. We will return.

    The atmosphere was special and the service was good. Food was amazing as always! We make sure we eat here every year when we travel to CT. Only 5 minutes or so from Mohegan Sun Casino which was convenient as well.

    Very good Italian dishes but the menu also has burgers and sandwiches if you just want something simple. A great place to drop in if you are going to a concert at Mohegun Sun and don't want to pay for over-priced food at the casino!

    The service was slow and our meals came out about 10 minutes apart. Food was average tasting. If I went back would go for the pizza dish my husband had. The waitress had a good attitude and apologized for the delay but overall it was only an average experience.

    First time here. Chose the restaurant due to its proximity to Mohegan Sun. Was presently surprised. The cocktails were good. I liked that they only partially filled the martini glass and provided you with the rest of the drink in the shaker. I ordered the special, sea bass, and it was very good (and reasonably priced). The wait staff was very attentive. I liked the total team effort! Will definitely go back here next time we attend an event at Mohegan Sun!

    What should have been a 4+ star review became an unfortunate 3. This was a special occasion visit with a cousin I hadn't seen in 13 years. While we enjoyed a requested "nice corner booth space table" and our waitress was very sweet, knowledgable about the menu and efficient. The other staff were also lovely. Food was very-very good and even the kitchen even accomodated my dairy and gluten allergies, which is always a plus for me! The end of the evening became very uncomfortable for our party of 4. Following dinner which ended at about 9:30 we decided to have a nightcap at the bar. There were a few other customers around but the atmosphere changed as 3 security guards were circling the bar constantly, inside and outside with flashlights in the windows, it began to feel like we were in the middle of a crime scene? Then the music was turned up so loud that we couldn't talk. Nobody said anything about being closed, but the staff made us feel very uncomfortable and pushed out. Such a shame, not sure I would go back?

    The service was so incredibly fast that they could not possibly have cooked our meals to order. The food was mediocre and way overpriced for the quality. We didn’t even have time to enjoy ourselves.

    This was the worst restaurant experience my husband and I have ever had. The service was horrible. The servers kept walking by our table and not even giving us recognition. The food took forever to come out and when it did come out it was luke warm. The serving size is not worth the price!!!

    Upon arrival the front parking lot was full. Thought it would be tough to find parking. However, there is ample parking behind the building. The dining room walls are full sized painted murals of Venice, with the ceiling being painted to look like the night sky. One wall has ceiling to floor waterfall that gently trickles in the background. You get a sense of being there, eating outside under the stars. Service was attentive and efficient. Drinks were served quickly, along with a basket of bread. Menu items were what of an typical American Italian restaurant, along with some items you don’t expect. The Caesar salad was a generous portion for a side salad. Nicely dressed, and the right amount of cheese shavings. We opted to try the risotto (1 topped with salmon, 1 with chicken). The risotto was a flavorful, and a good consistency. The salmon was fresh, sweet, and perfectly cooked. The chicken breasts were pounded thin, then pan seared. They were juicy and very tender. We opted to skip dessert, as we were full. The coffee was hot, smooth and with a medium-dark roast. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service did not disappoint! The location is about a half mile up the street from Mohegan Sun, which offers a great alternative to eating at a crowed casino on the night of a concert.
