   My sons entree came out about 20 minutes before everyone else’s entree. The chicken was over friend and sauce tasted last target sauce with lemon… disgusting. Our pasta dish with fungi had zero seasoning and was not good. My daughter’s pasta bolognese must have not been stirred while cooking because about 20% of it was all stuck together didn’t have enough sauce and was dry. They are about two or three managers, looking around the entire time, but at one of them came over to check on our food. When our food was served not even the way it came over to see if we needed any grated cheese on our dish or to check on the food. Extremely disappointing.

   First time eating here but totally impressed. Olivia was excellent as our waitress and made us feel right at home. The food was way better than anticipated. For an Italian to have good Italian food out is a rarity. This was like being at nonna’s house on a Sunday afternoon. Only thing missing was the couch for the afternoon nap. Excellent food and will definitely be back.

   No bread for the table and long wait for the waiter to take our order. Ambiance lacked personality. Soup portion small but excellent. Other entrees average. Lacked specialized touches, c+. Will try it one more.

   Olivia and Sergio were wonderful! So upbeat, kind, and caring. The little gem salad with pistachio pesto was amazing! I’m purchasing the jarred pesto next one I’m in the market! The only thing I would change is for the salmon crudo to be wild caught instead of farm raised, you just can’t beat that wild caught flavor. Other than that, everything was delicious! The tiramisu was cool, and delightful!

   No bread or focaccia. They run out of it. C’mon is an Italian restaurant, and you run out of bread? The host was like they were doing you a favor, made me wait, despite me having a reservation. Service was very slow. Little disappointed, not the same experience I had at the Flat Iron or Lower Manhattan locations.

   They made us wait over 30 minutes for our “reservation“ and then when we finally sat they told us they had no bread products whatsoever. No focaccia, bruschetta, baguette, nothing. I thought this was an Italian restaurant. How do you have no bread??? They also had no seafood like calamari or fish. Horrible experience. We will not be returning.

   Food was pretty good just not as good as the city one. Price is pricy side. Should’ve been a tad cheaper for being in NJ. And vibe was just casual and not as sophisticated/luxe feel. Felt like a mall restaurant. I get they have fine dining pricing but the feel and ambiance is just not up to par.

   Been a couple times. The pasta was super bland. They did the Caesar with arugula which didn’t work. The supli were good. Service was underwhelming.

    Nice ambience. Pizza was good. Very Disappointed with the NY strip steak-had 6 small pieces of cut up steak for $40. Deserts were meh as well. Overall average food.
