Found this restaurant on yelp late on a Saturday afternoon. After reading the reviews, my wife and I were very interested to try the place. Luckily when I called, the gentleman I spoke to confirmed we would still be able to get seated without a reservation.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we noticed a lot of frantic wait staff dashing around the restaurant attending to tables. After 2 different severs acknowledged us and forgot about us, a third sat us but oddly told us that we only have 1 hour to dine and there would be a charge for anything beyond that duration (contrary to the warm welcome I received on the phone.

The caesar salad and my wife’s pasta dishes were exactly what we came to the restaurant for- quintessential Italian fare that was well-executed. My sausage and mushroom pizza was definitely enjoyable, but I a bit far from the best-I’ve-had category.

In addition to the odd greeting we received when we arrived at the restaurant, we noticed service is not this place’s forte- very long wait times for food to arrive despite the time warning when we were seated and a server who checked in with us 3 times after paying to bill asking where the tip for the meal was.

Overall, I would normally be curious to try what else is on this menu and see what this kitchen is capable of, but I think the service that would go along with another meal is a deal breaker.
