Went there for a company party. Clever setup for 10 people on a round table with a lazy Susan. Great Italian atmosphere. Good food and friendly service.

I was very disappointed when many menu items were not available. All our waitress could say is "We ran out, I don't know why". I wasn't expecting this as this restaurant came highly rated.
There are two size portions for each menu items which I liked because they are sharable.

I had the pleasure of having Tina host our company Christmas party, and she was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly attentive, we never once had to look for her. Our drinks were always full, and the table was constantly cleared of finished dishes. Honestly, you’d think there were three people working, but Tina handled everything effortlessly on her own. That level of service is hard to find these days, she definitely deserves a raise!
The food was amazing (I’m literally eating my leftovers while writing this review 😂). We will absolutely be coming back again!

I went in with some coworkers and tried the bolonese popper deli because of our servers and we often share food and it was all so great. And we wouldn't have tried if Tina hadn't recommended. Our server was so nice and kind I will be coming back for the service because this day and age servers can be so rude, but Tina was helpful and kept our table cleared. I hate when the server dont come around often. she also kept our drinks filled.
