"My wife and I have eaten there twice in the past 4 to 5 weeks, and both times I have been very disappointed with my food and service. On the first occasion there were screaming kids in the large center table having a birthday party so we sat out on the patio. You would have thought we had the plague because it was next to impossible to get service out there. My wife ordered the clam linguini which she liked. I ordered the lasagna, and when it was served, the sauce was steaming hot but the inside of the lasagna was cool, It obviously sat in the cold refrigerator too long and they did not heat it up enough in the oven. Our second dinner very recently, again my wife ordered the clam linguini which was fine. I told the server we wanted to order a large pizza and asked her the difference between their two styles (fancy Italian names), and she informed me that one was thin crust and the other thick crust. We deduced to get the thick crust, so I ordered a large sausage and mushroom thick crust pizza. When it arrived, it was served on a large round pizza tray, but was a smaller rectangle shaped pizza cut in 8 square pieces. I asked the server if this was a large pizza and she said that the thick crust pizza only comes in one size! She said nothing about that when I ordered a large thick crust pizza! Worst, you could hardly find the sausage on the pizza. They apparently took an Italian sausage and sliced it very thin probably on a mandolin, and the slices were paper thin. They were scattered over the pizza but you could hardly taste them at all. Sauce was the only think you could taste. Very disappointed! I rated them 2 stars because my wife liked the clam linguini, but the rest of the meal was a total bust. We will not be going back there again."

"You can never go wrong with any dishes here, every dish I ordered or my coworker's dishes was always delicious and superb. Our waitress Annie is wonderful and always checking our table, and drinks filling up. Since my work is just a couple of buildings away, it's a staple for our office to head over for lunch at least one or twice a month. I was first introduced to the butternut squash raviolis back in 2019 and just fell in love with the restaurant. (I believe it's a seasonal dish in the fall the best butternut squash ravioli I ever tasted. Looking forward for that dish in the fall of this year. (Please don't discontinue it, I freaking love it! Now for the ambiance, we came during lunch and I don't think I ever been here for dinner but that will change after this week. Lunch on Wednesday, March 15, wasn't too crowd, we came as a party of 6 and services was great. Upon ordering our dishes, basket of bread and butter came out in the meantime while our food was being cooked. With a baskets of breads and just catching up on conversations, I'll say our food came out in a timely manner. We weren't in a rush, plus we haven't seen each other for a while and let me tell you, when the dishes came out it was hot and look at my dish. (I got the shrimp scampi, lunch meal and those shrimps HUGE!! Juicy and not over cooked. Honestly, that might be my second favorite dish now."
