Ordered a large Italian salad, side Kale Caesar salad, spaghetti primavera, gnocchi Romano, chicken tutto fresco, Langosta lobster scallop special with arrabiata sauce, pumpkin agnolloti mascarpone ravioli. $189.67
The house Italian bread with EVOO and Parmesan cheese is good, even after 3 plates of it.
They don’t have the pizza funghi, as the RO location used to and it was quite good too. Bummer.
We are seated in the back, better for conversations.
The Italian salad is a colorful blend and tastes good. The Caesar is decent.
Arrabiata sauce is good. The lobster and scallops was maybe a bit overcooked, still not bad. Garlic slices are good. Good heat.
The gnocchi is good, soft bites.
Pasta primavera was good, lots of spinach and tomatoes.
The chicken tutto is good. The waiter halved the plate for my FIL and his girlfriend.
The agnotti pumpkin mascarpone ravioli was yummy.
So beware if you have hearing issues, I also wouldn’t recommend this to new couples, as it is tough to carry a conversation
Our server Kevin was pleasant and respectful he even gave us the history of chicken piccata that was a nice touch
The ravioli, kale Caesar, and garlic bread are fantastic
What a fun spot!
Prepare to eat til there is no room
Left.
By 6:25 we were completely done eating. They never returned to see if we wanted more wine or to see how the meal was. After ordering the entrees I didn’t see the waitress again until we were handed the bill. We had a $200 meal and it was over within 45 minutes. We would have ordered more drinks and even a dessert since it was my birthday but they were in a rush for us to be gone.
We then sat for 20 minutes with an empty table waiting to pay our bill. The food was mediocre. We will definitely not be back.
I also loved seeing a well-thought-out mocktail menu. It’s such a nice touch and something that feels very current and inclusive—whether you’re not drinking that night or just want something fun and intentional beyond water or soda.
One of my favorite features of the space is the semi-private area in the back. It’s ideal for hosting—intimate enough to feel special, but still connected to the energy of the restaurant. You can tell this is a place designed with gathering in mind, which I always appreciate.
We had a 4:45 PM reservation for a group of six, and it took ~90 minutes for our main courses to hit the table. Our server completely avoided us, never apologized for the wait, and our appetizers never even showed up. I asked for a manager, but they never came to the table.
We nearly missed our show at the War Memorial because of the lack of communication from the server. Did he forget to enter our order? We will never know.
Incredibly unprofessional.
