Went for a couple of drinks and a pizza. The pizza was meh and overpriced. Our server was very good, but the bartender was awful. She was so slow and to worried about drinking her coffee and talking to coworkers. She even lied to us told us that she could not make a drink right away because she had to get more juice from the back. 10 minutes later, she went to the back and came back empty-handed. She reached into the cooler, grabbed the juice, and made the drink. I'm not sure why she said she was out. We moved to a table and ordered a second drink and a pizza. After about 15 minutes, we asked the waiter about the drink that we still did not have. The bar and restaurant were almost empty. The bartender then, instead of making our drinks she came put from behind the bar and came over to our table and scolded us for asking about our drinks because she was busy. Talking to the manager, we got the same old excuse that she is new and in training. I guess she didn't need any training on how to be unprofessional. Maybe when someone is training, actually train them and keep your customers happy. I am thinking it is the manager that...
Read moreA little disappointed…. ordered a pizza for a pickup at a set time an hour from when i placed it. They said no problem, they would out the pizza in to have it ready at the pickup time so it would be bit. If they tell you the same, I’m not sure I would believe them! I came to pick up my pizza five minutes early and when they brought me, the pizza I said i felt the box was cold. I said something to the lady that brought me my stuff and asked if the pizza just came out or was it sitting out for a while, and I was told she saw it go into the box. Don’t believe that either when they tell you. I live three minutes away came home and opened the box…. cold pizza and barely warm. It has been sitting out for a while and I am warming it up in the oven for dinner. When you pay a premium price for a premium pizza, I expect a little bit better. Lesson learned and in the future when I order for pickup, I will be there be there to pick it up as soon as I order! However, in all fairness (I gave two stars) as food is good and I love eating at this place. Just disappointed on the carryout. ...
Read moreAwesome Italian find on the West Coast of Michigan!
We went there twice in a short time - during rush hours and towards closing time - and twice, service was welcoming and we were made to feel at ease.
This is not a cheap restaurant. “Cheap” comes at a cost. This is a restaurant that, given the quality of the food, is fairly priced. The menu is built on the founder’s experience with Italian cuisine, and you will find both staples and clever variations on the menu.
We had the chicken parmigiana (Parmesan; “sigh, another ‘overused’ meal!”) and the lasagna, which, at 10 layers, becomes a millefoglie (thousand sheets). Both were very well executed (flavor and preparation) and tasted well defined: the lasagna had a nice amount of sauce to keep it moist, without swimming in it; the chicken Parmesan was well seasoned and wasn’t dry, while the pasta was appropriately all denté.
I can understand some negative reviews (if, in particular, you’re looking at their wine list), but otherwise, whether for a main course or just dessert, this is a good address if you more looking for some tasty...
