The absolute bare minimum for an Italian pricey dinner is the ability to batter and fry cheese. These were frozen mozzarella sticks served on a bed of lettuce?? Just wasting lettuce. The garlic bread was clearly store bought. It was soft, soggy, and gross. The wine, cocktail, and beer lists were egregiously short. Especially compared to the area. The spaghetti recipes are absolutely delicious. Our service was excellent. However, the chicken parm was straight up burned. See inedible chunk of breading in pictures. Nice place cursed by lack of execution on basic Italian food. Decor just musty and old. Long wait between appetizer and food with nothing at the table. Lots of little failures that just kill the experience.

Amazing food! Great service. Their garlic breads were awesome. Super generous portions.

Food was ok, it didn’t feel like authentic Italian. The garlic bread didn’t look appetizing at all (I’m from the Chicagoland area so maybe we’re just spoiled with decent food?) The Parmesan cheese was moldy at the bottom. Our waiter Carlos was awesome. Very filling but every dish tasted like something was missing. We also tried some of the quarantine drinks; those were good!

I have no clue how this place has ONLY 4 stars. The food here is phenomenal, among the best I've had in US. Especially as a Vegetarian, this place had a lot of options, which I can't say for most Italian restaurants. I tried the mushroom ravioli in creamy tomato sauce, and it was fabulous. The Tiramisu for dessert was great and the garlic bread was *perfect*. Our server Michael was funny, knowledgable and courteous in ways you rarely find these days. All in all, a fabulous dinner experience. My only suggestion to the owners would be to freshen up the decor a bit.
