If I could leave no stars I would. The quality and quantity of food is awful for the prices charged! Salad has spoiled rotted lettuce on it. We did not receive two of our salads, we ordered full orders of pasta and received very small portions. Zucchini was soggy. Worst first time experience ever, and definitely will not recommend to my family or friends and will not be returning as customers.

The credit card machine was down for 2 hours, yet they failed to inform customers until it was time to pay. The only options were cash, getting fees from a random ATM, or leaving your credit card info with a stranger. I only had a credit card to use. The service wasn't friendly, it was sarcastic and she was short with people, "didn't you look at the menu?". The food was good. The atmosphere was pretty. The music was nice. Work on customer service & you'll be perfect.

The staff was very helpful in suggestions and recommendations for vegetarians. I was helped by Jenny and she made sure veggies in my pasta were not mushy but perfectly cooked. I went for the pesto pasta and the pasta was nicely done, nice texture, flavor, and pesto taste. Shoot out to Jenny for the suggestions, I recommend trying this place. Also, the focaccia was great.

I went with my friend Lizzy to celebrate her husband’s birthday and it was (no exaggeration) the greatest dining experience of my life. Jenny is a GEM. I will be back to see her every opportunity I get. I left with my tummy full, and sore cheeks from smiling and laughing. The food was delicious (Jenny had amazing recs) and the wine went down easy. If you go (and you should) demand that Jenny take care of you because you will not forget it.

Do you serve Branzino and do you cook it in a salt crust as is the Italia way?

Hi Sabina, We don't have Branzino as a regular menu item but I will bring it forward to our chef as a possible special. If you follow us on Facebook you may just see that pop up. This week we have a Blackened Halibut Ratatouille Fettuccine Fresh fire roasted red pepper, eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, red onion and grape tomato sautéed with fresh garlic and white wine over fettuccine noodles. Served with blackened halibut on top.
