Even though we had a reservation we still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. It didn't help that 2 couples walked in and went to the bar in order to "jump" the line and 1 couple ended up being seated, that was unfair. It did also take the waitress a while to take our order. If it were not for my date and the fact that this was important to him and that I absolutely love Italian food, I would have opted to leave the restaurant. But we ended up staying and I had my first glass of wine 🍷 ever and it turned out okay.

I’m a big fan of this restaurant.(Period.) Unfortunately, tonight’s experience was subpar. Service was slow and inattentive. We never got our soup. Steak overcooked and some bad Chianti. I’m still a big fan, but it might be a while before we’re back.

February 2024 Let's start with the grilled calamari- they need way much more love...probably need some good soaking overnight in a milk or so. The mussels dish in marinara sauce was very good, but it did not have a proverbial pan grillada.....big minus! Veal vesuvio with potato wedges did not disappoint. The sauce needed much more refinement and a touch of lemon. The selection of wines is nothing to write home about. The service is average just in any other family restaurant. Street parking was easy. The vibe was good...people had a good time, and we did as well! The bomb now....... the in-house bread was a 5*! They should start selling their bread...amazing!
