Reviews
Only minor feedback is that the music sound system could use a bit of maintenance, but that didn’t take away from the great vibe and food. They can also possibly update their seating setting with some brew table/ chairs…anyway was not a big deal and Will definitely go again!
We started with a Mexican lager and a sangria. For our entrees, we ordered the Fettuccine Arrostiti and the Spaghetti Carbonara with a side of the tomato basil soup, and a tiramisu for dessert.
They say their sangria is amazing and they are right. It is smooth, sweet and tangy and cold. It flows down very easily and is simple delicious. For this hot summer, it felt like the perfect drink to begin a meal.
The entrees were both excellent but needed more seasoning and a “oomph”. This could be because we love our flavors to be bold and maybe the restaurant makes the dishes a little on the bland side to serve all palates. After all, it is much easier to add some cheese or chili flakes than to remove them. The carbonara needed a lot more cheese than it had. Once we added more, it tasted delicious and husband says that it passed his test. He likes to order a carbonara at a new restaurant to see if they get their classics right. The arrostiti was delicious but needed some spicy component to compliment the lime cilantro cream sauce. I had to add a lot of chili flakes but once done, they brought out the flavors very well. The blackened chicken was great but we needed a few more pieces. The portion was quite big and I ended up with leftovers. Both plates came with delicious and buttery garlic bread, one of the best I’ve eaten. The tomato basil soup was excellent and definitely one of the best I’ve had. It is 100% a must try.
The tiramisu was nice but again, was missing that “oomph” factor. I thought it needed more coffee to emphasize the bitter component and my husband thought that an additional sweet component was needed. It came with a custard on the side and he thought the custard and tiramisu together were very good. I still needed the coffee.
Our check was $87 so it was a pricey-ish restaurant. The food was very close to 5 stars (as mentioned above) and is one of our better Italian experiences. A few more tweaks and it will be just perfect. We will be back to try the pizzas.
When I first arrived, there was no one present at the host stand. After waiting briefly without acknowledgment, I attempted to take a seat but was abruptly told to move because the host needed to see me first. I then returned to the host area and waited approximately five more minutes before anyone assisted me, during which time I was genuinely considering leaving.
Unfortunately, the issues did not end there. I ordered a single sandwich and one drink, and the total bill came to $60. The prices displayed did not appear to match what was ultimately charged, and additional fees or taxes seemed to have been added to each item without clear explanation or disclosure on the menu.
Overall, the combination of inattentive service upon arrival and a lack of transparency regarding pricing made the experience frustrating. I hope the restaurant improves both its customer service and clarity around menu pricing for future guests.
