    I went on a Saturday morning, right when they opened. I was there total maybe 45min to an hour and remained the only customer inside. No one was even walking in when I was walking out. Staff was great and friendly but food missed the mark for me. I had a coupon for a free app and I got the bang bang shrimp. I was expecting it to be crunchy but they appeared oven baked maybe or just fried really softly. Had good flavor but I expected and needed a crunch. I ordered the lasagna and it came out lukewarm. Cheese on top wasn’t even trying to melt. I sent it back and they brought me out a much hotter piece. Had good flavor and the side salad was delish. Place is beautiful inside but overall I wasn’t really impressed enough to go back any time soon.

    Good food and atmosphere. I'm vegetarian and got their spaghetti. Not a huge portion, but that's how they do in Italy, and good sauce, not too salty. Reasonable price for the kinda upscale area and space. Nice waitress.

    I had such a wonderful experience here! The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff are genuinely friendly and attentive. You can tell they really care about their guests. The food was absolutely delicious — everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Free parking garage close by. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere in the South Park area.
