Disappointed. The service was horrid. The calamari was like chewing gum. Ordered the seafood dish. Scallops were tiny, dime sized. Everything was blah. Red lobster tasted better. Waiter couldn't suggest a local wine. Yes you read that correctly. The only stars are for the venue.

Really delicious food! My husband and I went with our friends and their 3 year old. So we ordered the calamari, which was the perfect texture and had great flavor with a housemate marinara. And we ordered 2 orders of the bread that comes with olive oil and vinegar (sad that it doesn't come complementary like most places). I ordered the seasonal dish which was the ravioli with butternut squash and the most delicious sauce! And my husband ordered the vodka pasta dish with bacon, which was tasty as well. Our friends ordered the gnocchi bolognese and a pizza with ham, artichoke and some other ingredients. (Our food came out surprisingly fast too!) I was so hungry and excited to eat I forgot to take pictures of our other foods. We also had dessert, our friends ordered the stuffed cannolis, but the shell was a little too hard for its size. It was REALLY crunchy. I think the shell needed to be just slightly thinner to make the cannoli perfect. The flavors were good and light and honestly the best part was the candied orange peel bites. My husband and I had the gelati trio. Which was chocolate gelato raspberry sorbet, and a vanilla bean Gelato. All three were delicious, but I slightly favored the raspberry sorbet more! Highly recommended! Our totals spil in half was decent as well. The only downfall was they cleared our plates without asking if were were done (I was working on my ravioli sauce with the bread and I had to ask for my plate back because I was still scooping up the tasty sauce). They also took our calamari which had 3 pieces left, that we would have eaten, but they just cleared it without asking. A minor detail, but it makes a difference! Also the staff was great with helping out with our friends 3 year old. Unfortunately the 3 year old wasn't feeling well and threw up, and the staff was quick to find us something for the little one to dispose of. Recommend this place, but just make sure you have a reservation so you don't have to wait (it saves you and the restaurant time).

We went here the day after Valentine's day to celebrate. We chose this place because of the beautiful pictures of the food and atmosphere. Maybe they drove our expectations too high but although the food and drinks looked fantastic there was nothing extraordinary about it. We left with an unsatisfied feeling. We probably won't ever be back but we are happy that we got to try it. It really is a beautiful place with great service but just the food didn't keep us engaged.

Are children allowed?

Reviewer Klb | Sep 3, 2019

It's actually a good place to take children. The prima piatti make good kids sized meals and the formal ambience seems to put kids on their best behavior.
