Kind of a letdown. Specifically wrote in our reservation note that it was our daughter’s BD & even told our waitress that upon arrival. Thought they might do “something”. Did Nothing. Also, the hostess was very rude. Too bad because the food was great and the ambience very cute there. For $200+ for my fam of 4 I expected better. Oh well.

Excellent service and great food! I wish I could remember our servers name. Young, beautiful, Latina girl - she was amazing! We were visiting from Colorado and will definitely be back! The bread, butter, pasta and house wine were all amazing! Happy Hour is well worth taking advantage of.

Our one big gripe is it is SO LOUD IN THIS RESTAURANT! Food was great, service as well. Ambience is just fine. It’s a bit expensive as well. Just couldn’t get over the fact that the two of us virtually had to scream to hear each other.

We had a lovely dinner here. The service was fantastic, drinks were great. But we weren’t as impressed with the entrees. They were good, but didn’t match the outstanding service and drinks.

Overall, the food during the daily happy hour and the service from Andres was amazing. Where I would like to say something that I found unprofessional and displeasing was the hostess. Me and my friend arrived 20 min early and asked to sit and have a drink before our 3pm reservation. The hostess did not expect that one of us spoke Italian and proceeding to tell the busser f***! Confused us why an issue that customers would arrive early and pay for more drinks,,,, when she very coldly walked us to our table, she asked “are you eating” I told her we would not be eating until the full part arrived. And she said “that’s good all we have is pasta right now.” Over all our server did a great job to make up for this young lady/woman at the front, but i found it distasteful in the way the “face” of the restaurant treated our party
