    You don't have to eat a whole meal there it's very pleasant to just sit at the bar have a glass of wine, and relax in the relaxed atmosphere. By the way the food is really delicious if you do want to eat.

    Incredibly inattentive bar staff. My date and I sit at the bar for dinner. No drink or cocktail menu offered. I have to ask for one. My date orders a glass of wine and the server never comes back to ask me for my order after looking at the cocktail menu and dropping off the wine. Just puts the wine down and walks away even though I was clearly ready to put an order in. I had to ask for a beer. Gives us 1 dinner menu. Had to ask for a drink and another menu. Had to ask again to order appetizers. Tender never provided bread, place settings or utensils and my date had to ask for napkins and utensils while our food was sitting in front of us. Clams oreganata were littleneck clams lacking in seasoning and flavor and also didn't come with a cocktail fork -no oregano or seasoning with a flat flavor profile. Some of the clams weren't shucked from the shell and I'm awkwardly trying to remove them with a dinner fork. Calamari was tubes only, chewy and underwhelming for the price. The spicy marinara was the highlight. I sat with finished plates and an empty beer glass in clear view for 10 minutes. I asked a server walking by if they could describe their signature meatball stuffed eggplant and he goes, "oh it's great!" but can't tell me how the dish is prepared. Had to go get another staff member to tell me about it. Bartender finally takes the plates away and leaves my empty glass and she doesn't ask me if I want another beer. We have to then ask again to order dinner. My date asks if the chicken picatta has artichokes because she loves them. Bartender says yes then the dish comes with no artichokes and she says, 'Oh, my bad." The goes to the kitchen and comes back with cold artichokes for a hot dish. The total lack of attentiveness was so incredibly frustrating. We almost left after the appetizers but I really wanted to try this stuff eggplant that was ok. Zero eye-contact, zero maintenance of your patrons. Head down, not paying attention to literally anyone. Multiple parties flagging her down for the check or drinks. 3-star food made worse by the poor service. One of the lamest and most disappointing $200 dinners I have had in a while. Replace your bar staff and train your servers better on how to present your menu. Don't make patrons feel like an inconvenience to you. This was not a busy night and there's literally no legitimate excuse here. Anyone who was ever a server at some point in the lives and understands what it means to be a proper server or bartender would absolutely lose their minds here. One and done with this place.

    The Food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was full of rich, authentic Italian flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. You can truly tell that care and passion go into the food. From the first bite to the last, everything was perfectly seasoned and satisfying. The portions were generous, the presentation was beautiful, and the overall experience was outstanding. If you’re looking for amazing Italian food that feels homemade and comforting, this place is a must-try. I can’t wait to go back!
