Food is average italian cuisine, but the atmosphere is very nice. A little overpriced for the quality of food. You're paying for the atmosphere.

Have dined here several times over an extended visit - each time looking to try something new on the menu. The staff is attentive and engaging; had Erika in the main dining room the first night on a business dinner and she was fabulous. I have to note: I had an important business dinner and wanted to make reservations. The... More

We showed up and was seated for about 15-20 minutes with no contact with a waitress so I stopped one and asked if we were going to have someone at least take our drink order and she got someone to us quickly and she was good but we almost just left due to the wait. But we had the calamari... More

First, the food was good - - when we got it. Live music would be the only reason to go back. Had to ask repeatedly for service. The waitress seemed more interested in a few folks at the bar. I had to wave my hand in the air to get her attention. Who would think it would take over an... More

I've been here a few times with friends and co-workers. It's very hit-or-miss on some of the dishes. Now, I'm told by my family that it's because I am picky, but in fairness, I think a large part is because I hate anything vaguely greasy, and well Italian food is going to have a little grease sometimes. The oysters on... More

Where to begin? First do yourself a favor and go on a night the Mike Ship band is playing. This on every other Tuesday and Friday. Second, relax. Being at this restuarant is like being with an amazing European family. You have a relaxed casual, date night atmosphere with very little effort on your part. The staff is courtious and... More

Went there for lunch after hearing rave reviews and was hoping to find a tasty Italian place close to home similar to Carrabba's but was disappointed. Though not as dismal as my last visit to the Marcaroni Grill, the food did leave something to be desired. Started with the promising sounding appetizer of truffled lobster macaroni and cheese fritters with... More
