   A bit disappointed. Ordered lasagna, personal fave. It arrived barely hot enough. A[peared that it wasn't cooked to order. because the sauce on top was hotter than the lasagna underneath. So I guess it is precooked in large pans ahead of time, then cut and covered in more sauce. I could have waited till the server came back around to check and sent it back, but decided not to wait and just started eating. It was competent, not memorable.

   Pumpkin spice espresso martinis were the best! Always a great meal.

   Brought my friend for her birthday and I really picked the right place. She is gluten free and said her gluten free pizza was the best she's ever had. I had a marvelous salad with arugula, barrata cheese, fresh figs and melon and it was outstanding. Then for dessert they brought us a beautiful panna cotta with chocolate and strawberry sauce that was heavenly. Our table attendant was just lovely. This made for a perfect lunch. Next time, I'm bringing my husband.

   Food was simply not good. Lasagna seemed like it had been frozen. Side dishes were extremely small. Pizza was undercooked. Service was slow. Would not go back

    Normally, we have a great time, but felt like our server was overwhelmed. It took her forever to come to our table to take our order. I had decided on the Buona Forchetta pasta with penne, and my daughter had the Bolognese with farfalle pasta. My portion of pasta was extremely skimpy compared to my daughter’s Bolognese pasta, which was overflowing on her plate. 2nd pizza came out late & no refill on iced tea. Again not the servers fault, she had too many tables. With that said, service was slow and the food was unfortunately average.
