Reviews
We were initially told the wait would be 30 minutes, but we were able to find a table and ask if we could sit down there immediately, and they said yes. Unclear why they didn’t offer that table to begin with, and after 30 minutes, we received a text that our table was ready, so we reminded them that we had already sat down.
We were also not given napkins or silverware when we sat down and had to ask for them once our entrees had come out – after already eating a small finger food appetizer.
There are several vegetarian friendly options on the menu, but there could be some more selections, or more variations of existing dishes that could be made without meat. It was pretty good for this area, though.
The wine selection is kind of sparse, with bottle prices maxing out at around $50, and by 6:30 or so, they were running out of multiple bottles (Chianti, Malbec, Moscato – overheard from the table next to us) so we had to choose cheaper wine despite wanting to get a nicer one.
All the food was really tasty, and the marinara had a bit of kick to it, in a good way. I had the eggplant parmesan, and my husband had the baked ziti. Both came with garlic bread, which was also delicious.
The server was very attentive to our table despite the place being pretty slammed with people, likely due to the recency of their opening and the fact that they were open when many other restaurants were closed due to the holiday.
Overall, I highly recommend giving this place a try. The menu is quite large, so we didn’t have an opportunity to try the pizza or their dough boys (seems like a calzone, essentially).
So we came here for a close friends birthday. We reserved the room in the back.
There will be several steps to this.
Firstly, we got there early to help set up. I asked if they had an espresso machine, the waitress (who was amazing and overly kind) confirmed they did. I asked if I could have a shot of espresso. She said she would ask. When she came back she said “the owner said they wouldn’t do a single or double shot of espresso”. What’s the point of having an espresso machine and not offering espresso? On top of it, their espresso martinis don’t even use real espresso. They use espresso flavored alcohol. What a farce.
I was under the impression this was an Italian restaurant. Clearly it’s not. I’m from Italy. Gaeta, south of Rome. Any real Italian restaurant/ristorante would offer espresso. It’s the furthest thing from authentic Italian if they can’t even offer a shot of espresso.
Second thing, I asked the waitress if they could do a four cheese pizza, a quattro formaggi. The waitress said of course. What came out was the most abysmal and pathetic pizza I’ve ever seen. It was bagged mozzarella cheese, spread over canned sauce, and store bought dough. Not only this, but after everyone ordered, every plate was left nearly full, as seen in the photos. Clearly showing the food was far below expectations.
Again, I’m from Italy. I was told this was authentic italian. Im ashamed to see this place claim anything similar to Italian cuisine. It’s just another cheap restaurant overcharging ($1500 minimum for the room for the birthday) for a room reservation and serving subpar food from cisco with overpriced drinks.
Thirdly, their dessert is frozen, not freshly made in house like advertised by the manager. The birthday cake we brought with us was better than the dessert they provided.
The ONLY saving grace is the staff. They are kind and welcoming. The owner is clearly masquerading as someone who thinks they know what Italian cuisine actually is, again, who doesn’t offer espresso? I’d highly recommend everyone to avoid this place, with enthusiasm.
The dip was the smallest I have ever received in this area. 4 chips for dunking and maybe 5-6oz of dip. The cheeseburger was medium and we asked for well done.
The pizza we enjoyed and met the expectations for gluten free crust.
I find good Italian food is so hard to find in the area and was excited for this. Sadly, I’ll stick to making it at home.
The eggplant parm and lasagna were wonderful entrees and we’ll be back to try the whole menu!
