Service was great, foods extremely bland. Had a to go order of salmon… super rubbery and the noodles taste disgusting. Threw it away, won’t be back.

Was hesitant to go here, but it turned out well. With the take out experiences during Covid the portions were small, not favor flavorful, and not worth the price. Tonight we went and dined in hoping for a better experience and it was! Portions were appropriate. I had more than 3 spoonfuls of gnocchi on my dine in plate.
Amazing as a dine in experience:)

We love going here for Sunday night dinners. The food is so good. The atmosphere is mellow and it's a small dining room but feels spacious. The staff is so nice to us and it has a full bar and a few TVs so you don't miss the game.

Was an easy in for a Saturday night dinner. Scallops with the mushroom risotto and fresh asparagus was excellent! Topped it off with a splurge of their banana cream pie!

The other reviews were right about the place being busy and service being slow. We waited for ten minutes at the entrance before anyone would acknowledge us. The reservation we had didn't work, we got seated outside and left to ponder. We chose to move back in and eat at the bar counter where the lady who served us was very cordial and efficient. Food is not of the quality you see in Biba or Il Fornaio, but not bad. Overall, I appreciate the hard working staff, but don't see myself returning. Again, not bad, but nothing compelling.

The food was good. I always judge Italian by the gnocchi and I was pleasently supprised. The gnocchi itself was very soft and the gorgonzola sauce wasn't overpowering . It was takeout only and even tho there were several employees present, somehow our meal ticket wasn't noticed so I had to wait while they made the food. The staff was apologetic and offered a free desert but missing an order is why ive only given 3 stars. I'll be going back.

Great service, authentic food for family, date night, or group of friends. The focaccia with olive oil, balsamic tapenade was fantastic! My linguine sauce was a bit salty, but his gnocchi was great.

We had a party of 9. The service was top notch. Our group went for the Timpano that they only make once a month. It's unique and a lot to eat. It was a little dry my opinion and could use a more sauce. Because everybody ordered the Timpano I ordered the Italian Fried Chicken big mistake. Way over cooked extremely dry.
