I was really excited to try this place—the interior is just as cute as the photos and the ambiance is great. Sadly, that’s where the positives ended. We had an 8 PM reservation but were told to come back in 20 minutes, then waited another 10. The host tried to seat my family of five at a table for four, and when I asked to wait for a proper table, he told me to look around and see if anyone was done—seriously? Eventually, we were seated at another four-top on the patio, and when I reminded him we were waiting for an indoor t... read more
Everything was outstanding EXCEPT, i will always demerit all restaurants that use the TOTALLY OFFENSIVE technique of bringing you the tab on the hand-held device where the server stands above you and the device suggests a tip of 20%, 22%, 25%, 30%. This is the single worst development in the food service industry in, perhaps ever.
Worst italian restaurant ive ever been to in terms of food. Service was good. Terrible food.
The food was fine, but they somehow started running out of everything including their cheese wheel pasta and garlic knots. The server kept forgetting about us and didn’t bring us bread until after our food had already arrived. It was overall a bit disappointing.
The ambiance was amazing, but the service did not meet my expectations. I paid over $500 for four people, and the Brussels sprouts were overcooked and lacked flavor. I ordered an Old Fashioned, but what I received was essentially just a shot of bourbon with an ice cube. This was very disappointing, especially since I had heard so much about the restaurant. It’s clear that the hype didn’t match the reality. 🌟one star
The Parmesan wheel was such a fun experience and the specialty noodle with a great choice. The Rucoletta salad was fine, nothing to rave about. The service was extremely lacking. When I asked our waitress about the complimentary bread, she gave me a lecture on how it’s upon request and it was my first time there, so I wasn’t sure and asked. Even though I heard from friends that visited 1 week earlier that the bread was brought out without question. Our waitress also paid a lot of attention to a table of 8 behind us and we ha... read more
I typically refrain from writing reviews and prefer to avoid negativity, but my experience at this restaurant was deeply disappointing. The food was excessively greasy and oily, making it nearly inedible. Additionally, the dining space was cramped, with small tables placed uncomfortably close together, creating an unpleasant atmosphere. We ordered tuna tartare and mozzarella as appetizers, but the mozzarella was of very poor quality. My mother had a steak that was overwhelmingly greasy and difficult to eat, while my octopus ... read more
I wanted to share feedback about our recent visit. We made a reservation for 4:00 PM and drove over two and a half hours specifically for the cheese wheel experience, as advertised. However, upon arrival, we were informed that it would not be available that day due to overbooking. Given that we were the first guests to arrive, it was disappointing to see others who had booked for the same experience also turned away, with many ultimately deciding to leave. While we understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, clearer ... read more
I had a reservation for the outside patio with the lemon setting, but upon arrival, I was informed that there was no available seating despite being 10 to 15 minutes early. Initially, when I attempted to check in, I was mistakenly told that I had already done so, leading me to believe our reservation was given to someone else. We were eventually seated outside on the street, and it felt like we had no choice but to accept this or face a long wait. The food was cold by the time it reached our table. Given this experience, I w... read more
