The food was great service could have been a bit better. The server was quite pushy, as if he wanted to turn over the table, there was however not many other people there, so it should not have been an issue for us to stay a while.

Prompt service by the Hostess who was very polite and most importantly had a pleasantness to her. Asked all the right questions and seated us quickly. Server was a very nice man who checked on us frequently. Overall very tasty dishes and very reasonable value for the price vs quality/quantity of food. Will definitely come back again.

Pizzas were not good. I’m definitely willing to pay more for great pizza. But this place just didn’t hit the spot. I had some expectations because of the reviews and an article I read, but overall fell short. We also had the gnocchi and it too was disappointing. Needed to be more pillowy, it was too dense and somewhat crumbly? Not how I prefer my gnocchi. The sauce however was good. Not sure about the other dishes though. They looked good from what I saw and could be worth trying. But the pizzas were a dealbreaker.

Food was great, service was average. Firstly, why ask what the occasion is if it’s not even acknowledged? We were ushered in to the bar area to a semi-high top table, and I was placed literally facing a wall/tv. Come on people, what happened to common courtesy to customers! Secondly, when someone still has food on their plate, and their knife and fork are not together, don’t ask once, let alone twice, if the customer is done and they can take the plate away, and for the love of all that’s holy, don’t move in to just take it!!! It’s disgusting manners, and bad etiquette to even take a plate whilst anyone else is still eating at the table. Appetizer plates were left on the table until midway through the entrees, and it wasn’t even our waiter who removed them. There was absolutely no excuse for poor, slow and inattentive service. The restaurant was super quiet, maybe at 30% capacity, and there were enough staff (and a manager that literally just walked around the place trying to look authoritative). I tipped because I felt I had to, but the server wasn’t worthy of any tip, other than “learn how to wait tables respectfully”. The food though was really great, all three courses - hats off to the chefs. However, one should greatly lower their service expectations though when dining here.

We had lunch for my wife (Mother’s day). Seated right away, and food came in a reasonable amount of time. The assagini was very nice though a touch coolish for our liking (it’s been warmer in the past). My daughter liked her pizza, and my wife her pasta. My calabrese pizza had plenty of toppings and perfectly crisp. A good experience overall.

I was disappointed by the fact that the waiter charged 18% gratuity and another 18% service charge without even asking me, I am used to leave a tip by myself not being forced to pay one ending up paying $71 tip on a 150$ tab totally disliked that.

We were disappointed. We have been here before and the food was much better. Two of us had the Lasagna and it was not good. Bland. A later if poorly seasoned hamburger- both of us did not finish it because it was not good. And for 25.00 for a serving of Lasagna it should be damn good. No side garlic bread - just soo disappointing. The salads were very good. And deserts were good. One of us had pizza and she commented on it being very greasy. This group of ladies are pretty foodie aware and we won’t be back again. Sorry.

Food was awesome. Service very good. First time dining here and I was surprised at how casual it is - decor is almost like a fast food restaurant. Would have preferred a little more "upscale" experience commensurate with the menu, but if looking for a quick bite with good food, rather than a dining experience, I would go again.

Very tasty food and drinks, the team made sure our reservation was followed exactly as asked too! Only comment would be the server was quite slow getting our drink and food orders (sitting for 40 minutes while we waited to order and the restaurant was fairly empty too), so that would be the only point for improvement.
