The food was excellent, especially the chicken parmigiana! Definitely will come back again!

I ate here with my parents for Mothers Day 2022. TL;DR: Good food, but awful, rude service. I don’t write reviews online, and honestly would have just preferred to contact the owners Sam and Kami, but I couldn’t find their contacts. I feel compelled to write this because the restaurant has such good reviews and I experienced an unacceptable level of service. The food was good, no complaints there. However, the waitress was not. When we ordered, I asked if we could get the bread appetizer w/ mozzarella, but w/o prosciutto, since my parents are vegetarian. She said ‘no’, which is fine - that could be how they make it. She said, “but you’ll get bread and butter with dinner.” Also fine, and I thanked her. That sounded perfect. No bread came. When our dinner arrived, there was still no bread on our table so I asked a nearby staff member for some bread and butter. About five minutes after that, our waitress was talking to the table next to us and I waved and caught her eye. She said, “I’ll be with you momentary.” She then walked away and ignored us for another five minutes - no acknowledgment about the bread or to even to check with us, in case it was something else we wanted to ask about. Eventually she came back with the bread and said “you don’t have to wave at me, sir” with a rude attitude, put down the bread and left. The bread was missing the butter. We didn’t bother to try to flag her down again (since she already “warned” us not to), and I-kid-you-not: she did not come back again to our table until we were done with our meal. The staff removed our dishes, and when she finally came back it was with the check - she never asked if we wanted desert or coffee, never asked if we liked our meals, never thanked us. We paid and left. My mom is 82 and my dad is 90. I’ve been to hundreds of restaurants (I live in NYC; they live in Ithaca), and I’ve never experienced such hateful, rude service. And for no reason. We were kind to her and thankful, throughout. I hope your experience at this restaurant is better than mine. Thanks, Amil

Ordered the chicken Marsala. It was ok for me. The other guest I was with enjoyed their appetizers and drinks. Lasagna entree seemed to be a a good choice per a guest. Wish it was in another building not surrounded by a dorm. Friendly staff!

Very interesting food including grilled octopus, good was cooked fairly well, staff was nice. All in all pretty good. Location is alittle weird tho, have to go through several doors to actually get to the restaurant, unless there was another entrance I don't know about, which is possible.

Questions & Answers

How about parking options

You can park anywhere in the parking lots If you veer to the right instead of veering left to get to the fountain/front entrance. There is also limited parking behind the building near the deck/rear entrance. You can disregard the "resident parking only/tow zone" signs; they are not enforced and do not apply to restaurant guests regardless.

We have decided to only open for pre orders of our Feast of the Seven Fishes Takeout Menu. We feel that with Covid and rising numbers it is best for the safety of our guests and staff.

Are you open on weekdays, now with the new restrictions?
