"When we arrived the restaurant was empty, appetizers came out quickly. 3 out of 6 plates were brought out, the rest of the food was not brought out until 15+ minutes later. We could not get help from anyone in that time, no one would look at us. Not the hostess, food runners, waiter. Half the table was finished eating before the rest of the food was brought out. Once we finally got our waiters attention and asked about our food, another guy brought it out. A bald guy with a beard wearing a beret brought out our food with the biggest attitude it was crazy. When he set it down, someone at our table said It 's not cold is it? and the guy goes off saying why would I bring you cold food?! This isn 't Olive Garden (FYI Olive Garden would never do this). He also said the kitchen lost the ticket while raising his voice but that turned out to be a lie. He was not apologetic in the SLIGHEST, it was insane. The food WAS cold and the waiter told us the food had been sitting and no one noticed. We asked our waiter for a manager and he said she wasn 't in, the waiter was extremely apologetic and nice. No one was in the mood to eat after that. He (waiter) gave us 2 tiramisu 's (1/2 the table doesn 't eat tiramisu) and comped $67 worth. We still tipped over 20% off the original bill amount. The service was still bleak after that, we needed boxes and managed to ask the hostess and she said she 'd grab us boxes and then went to the hostess stand and just sat there.... We 've been multiple times over the years but this was such an insane experience that I don 't think we 'll ever come back. This is depressing considering no other place has delicious baked to order focaccia."

"We have eaten here several times and loved every meal so when it came time to have our daughter’s 1st communion we thought this would be a good spot. Before I begin I want to give a shout out to the people who made this party spectacular Nicole, Gaby and the rest of the waitstaff. The manager Nicole who helped us with planning the party and going thru the menu was great, she always responded very quickly to any questions or changes we wanted very quickly, she was a pleasure to work with. Gaby our server was amazing so attentive to all of our guests needs. We had several guest with allergies and she made sure those guests got their own special portion of things served with any of their allergens.The atmosphere in the dinning area with the open kitchen was perfect for a private party. Now let’s get to the food, it’s family style tapas with an italian flair. My wife had concerns that her Italian family coming over from the old country wouldnt be impressed and wanted to go to a more traditional Italian restaurant. Well when the food came out she couldnt be more wrong. For a party the food is off of the regular menu and depending on what catering menu you decide on the choices change (whatever menu you decide on you each item or course is 1 dish for 4 people). We went with the “Venetian” from the catering menu and was concerned maybe it wouldn't be enough food, but there was so much food at the end everyone got to go boxes. The food comes out in waves over 3 hours which makes it great for socializing as you don’t have to be seated the whole time. Halfway through the food all our guests were stuffed and everyone kept saying how amazing the food was and how they couldnt wait to come back for dinner.We couldnt be more happy and this will definitely be our spot for future parties."
