This restaraunt is set up as upscale without the upscale feel. The restaraunt has an Olive Garden feel to it. However, the FOOD is incredibly delicious. The pasta de mare was OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING!

Overall not bad - (I’ve never seen black pasta before). The 4 diners agreed food was better then average, but there was no real Italian “ambiance”. Eve starred with heavily accented server rattling off a 2-3 min soliloquy on specials - which was not well understood. While not a bad experience per se - we all agreed we won’t likely be returning…..

After reviewing the chefs background on his page I really was excited to try what he could bring to this community and had high expectations. The menu had several dishes and though I did not try most dishes the few I did, provided not the best results. Ribs were too dry and the sauce made it cloying. The chefs special which is what could bring the experience to another level was just not to par. Although the squids ink pasta is something you normally would not order in the border city area I tried to give a chance and change my perspective. The sauce was very salty and could not finish the plate. I can certainly agree that the pasta is made fresh as it was tender and cooked to the correct degree. Maybe the pizza or the salmon could of changed my opinion on of this restaurant. The dessert on the other hand was excellent tres leches tiramisu. The live music and the environment was pleasant. I still have high hopes that the chef can give more to this community and make something delicious but might have to stop and reanalyze and take back control in his kitchen.

My husband and I visited for an early dinner. The air conditioning didn’t come on until we were almost finished with dinner. Our server, Nayma, explained that the building has been having trouble with the air conditioning. My husband really enjoyed his lamb chop dinner. I had a Caesar salad and meatballs in sauce. For an Italian restaurant, the meatballs were so bland. In fact, they didn’t even taste good. The salad was lettuce, dressing and a little parm. Our server, Nayma, was very pleasant, with a beautiful smile. She did a very nice job.

Manager eager, waiter new or not trained, some food tasteful & entry’s were cold. Mushroom risotto mushy & unappealing. Ravioli was delicious but cold until warmed up for me. Your chef needs to season the food better & make sure it is hot when served.

Food was not good at all. I ordered a seafood plate with prawns and muscles and scallops. I got shrimp tiny pieces of (3 shrimps.) Not prawns. The scallops were smaller then a dime and flat.i. and to pricey for the nasty food. ( fish had a old taste to them)I make bigger shrimp and scallops at home. The quality of food was not worth the price....So disappointed. My partner got the rib plate .ribs was good. But the lintels were not tasting good at all. To bad.

The food was just...ok. The lettuce in my salad was turning brown on the edges. I felt that the food was overpriced based on the quality. Drinks were ok. The server was great. The live music was nice but there was hardly anyone eating there on a Friday evening so the vibe was dead.

I wasn’t impressed by the service for the last two days I made a reservation here. The first night the waiter lost my receipt and tracked me down to charge my room after we left. The second night, there wasn’t any drinks available from the menu for my wife to consume because the restaurant ran out. The food looked different than the food we ordered the night before and I have never had a short rib that didn’t shred upon me putting my fork into it. I would not recommend this restaurant in the future unfortunately.

Decided to try this place on Sunday March 26,2023. We saw a billboard and checked out their Instagram page where the food looked amazing. The meatballs were good as well as my husband’s pasta but my pizza was literally cafeteria pizza and extremely salty. My husband had tried to order a pasta from their menu but it was not available. Our server was great though.

My friend and I were excited to try the food and wine. Online wine menu was different from what they have in restaurant. Food was a disappointment and service was horrible. Waiter was doing room service call which cause her to forget to bring items we order and for an Italian restaurant they sure don’t know how to properly serve wine. Wine was to warm and glass were dirty. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant there is better Italian restaurant in the area.

The food was good. Service was sub par, we had to ask for service during the entire meal, our server didn’t know what certain things were about the restaurant and not very personable. The Ambiance was more reminiscent of a 70s generic restaurant rather than an Italian restaurant. Shakers on the center tables with checkered tablecloths matched but not at the booths. Too pricey for the experience

Food was very subpar- appetizers were good Pasta (mix of fettuccini and black squid pasta) - it was undercooked and tasteless It think they mixed the noodles to make the meal go further Super disappointed And they were out of the clams Service was great! Drinks were very good Won’t be back due to the subpar main course Was expecting more ambiance esp for the price (two adults appetizer x2, drinks x4 and meal 167+ gratuity

I really wanted to like this restaurant. I ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese. It was homemade pasta and the ingredients looked very fresh but had absolutely NO flavor. Completely bland. My husband ordered the ravioli and he said it was below average. Another person in our group had the black pasta with seafood and they said it was very bland. On a good note, someone in our group ordered the salmon and said it was good. It was really disappointing, Italian is my favorite and this did not live up to my expectations. We will not be going back. :-(
