"2.5 rounded up because I 'm feeling generous. We had a 545 reservation, we were five minutes late so we checked in at 550, we also apologized for being a bit late, we were then told to sit and wait, that 's fine. About 7 couples/groups came in after us and were immediately taken to a table since they knew the owner. My boyfriend and I got our 545 table at 625. AFTER, multiple other couples who came in after us got seated. So not a great start at all. The food wasn 't great. It really wasn 't. Our waiter was fantastic and very attentive but food was severely lacking. The arancini were flavorless and the marina sauce tasted very sugary. Similar to Applebees or chilis. The main course was alright. I had the cavatappi escarole with chicken. I should have had it without the chicken as it was a little dry and again not as flavorful as the broth itself. Which I must say was delicious. Overall it was a disappointing Valentine 's Day dinner. We were overlooked, multiple times, the food wasn 't great, and on a personal note it was just way too loud for me. My pros were our amazing waiter, my glass of Riesling, and the bread. You can 't not love bread. I don 't see myself going back to ragazzi on my own. After last night, it 's left a pretty sour taste in my mouth. All I can say is make sure you have a reservation, and make sure you know the owners because even with your reservation you 'll be waiting 20 plus minutes."

"Okay for my 40th August 2nd) I wanted to dine someplace nice but not too expensive, after reading the reviews I selected this place. Upon entering the establishment I thought okay cool, no one greeted us. I see at hostess booth no hostess or at least what I thought was hostess booth) okay so the nice bartender lady came around and seated us , I explained I had reservations, now I don't expect the bartender to know this but since there was no hostess to greet and seat us she did the best she could do. So I love my waitress /bartender yes she ended up waiting on us all for the whole time we where there and she is gorgeous looks like a more feminine version of Michelle Rodriquez the actress, whom my boyfriend is crushing over) she was attentive, thoughtful, I ordered an entree which sucked when she came around asking how we like our food I told her the truth! It sucked , without hesitation, or me having to explain why I don't like it, she immediately said sorry to hear, did you see something else on the menu you want, I'll take this back and off your bill any recommendations to kitchen abt the dish? WTF amazing customer service!!! Drinks were good too! Atmosphere was nice, good looking Italian men walking around I guess they were the owners) So me and my boyfriend had eye candy the whole night. Upon leaving one of our guest left their food on the table, we where standing outside deciding what to do next , and guess who came out to being the bag my friend forgot! My waitress/ bartender superhero. So if the restaurant reads this please give that young lady the only promotion or raise. You owe her I don't remember her name, but you know who I am talking about) because I seriously was annoyed as the customer when nobody was there to greet patrons even with reservations!!"
