    Limited menu selections. Some of our party wanted pizza but was told they don’t serve it on weekends. Too bad it didn’t state that on their website or menu. The Caesar salad was excellent as was the homemade bread. The entrees were average but not great. Based on the reviews I read, I was expecting more.

    Staff never check how the food go! Either good or not , hot or cold. ( lukewarm) Overwhelm serviced too much to handle for two staff in the dining room . Literally just sat you take your order drop the food and pay the bill that’s it!

    The restaurant itself was quaint. The food was above average. However, the service was rushed. Perhaps due to being understaffed. Unfortunately, this made myself and family feel uncomfortable, as if we needed to hurry so they could “turn the table over”. Overall it was a mediocre experience. I would recommend trying another Italian spot nearby.

    Food was good but menu was limited. Ambience was nice and unique. Service was good with authentic italian servers. The basics are there but can be improved upon. Expanding the menu would help. Offering daily specials would also help with wait staff detailing the specials and being a bit more attentive, particularly when first seated

    We absolutely love this restaurant and feel fortunate to have this gem in our neighborhood. The food is amazing and I appreciate their ability and willingness to make a dish vegetarian. Definitely recommend this restaurant!
