    The service was fine, the food was good. The bicycle honker whoever has made the decision to use is absolutely horrible. Trying to sit and eat a meal while people are using that to call staff (which is super insulting in itself by the way) was nearly impossible. Kids will honk it over and over for fun. You need to get rid of that. Makes your restaurant feel like a circus.

    Even though the server tried to resolve at the table I think the restaurant needs to do more. We each ordered pasta with home loaf and salad. Loaf was good brought us extra. Our pasta was taking a while so we were offered a refill of salad. On the second layer of our salad two great big long hairs. Ugh. I can’t even think of it. I asked the server if she had any without hair???? Appetite lost ready to go. He brings over our food. We pass. He says I’m sorry. I asked how does this happen as it’s the second time. Hard to know 4 people touch the salads. They wear hairnets. What about beard? No response. What about you? You’re bringing my food with no hairnet. The waitress doesn’t even have her hair up? We can’t make a rule for servers to wear hairnets. What about tucking their hair up in a bun. No sorry. Here’s your food. No thanks. I’ll pack it up in case you decide later. And here’s $10 off your next purchase. Wow go all out!!!! How can this happen??? Twice??

    Had such a wonderful dinner tonight! It’s rare to find Italian food this high-quality, but what really stood out was the service. Shilpa was fantastic, she was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed for a great experience. Highly recommend for your next night out!
