The food was very good. Loved the ravioli. Apple greens salad very good but a bit pricey. It was very crowded, no parking available front or back. So loud could not hear eachother. The patio was filled with parents and kids could not walk through area.

Sat down at 5pm, pretty busy but very well staffed. All dishes were out of this world delicious and I thought the priced were very reasonable for dinner, for the area, and the quality.Very highly recommended. Due to area construction suggest Google maps, walked us right to the doir.Vegetarian options: See menu.Parking: Huge busy complex with free parking on all sides.Kid-friendliness: While upscale, still a family friendly atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: First floor ground level, no steps, easy parking and access..

Waitress was pleasant. Seated right away. Food was plentiful. Appetizers were very filling. Calamari, mussels, and crab toast all delish! Entrees were so plentiful we could not eat it all. The bread and olive oil dip was tasty. Drinks were amazing.

We had to wait 30 minutes for our table/reservation which wasn't a huge deal. However the restaurant seemed overwhelmed. We had to drink water and wine out of plastic cups! Definitely a different experience than prior visits. The food was still great though.

Consistently high quality food - everything on the menu, which is extensive! Never disappoints. Just wish some sound buffering could be installed - the place is deservedly packed every night of the week but the decibel level really ratchets up so difficult to talk.

I had an extremely disappointing experience for Valentine's Day at this restaurant. Me and my date arrived for our 8:45pm reservation and got seated within a few minutes of arriving. We waited almost 10 minutes before our waiter Renee came over to greet us. I understand it being busy but out the gate it gave a bad impression. Renee had a pleasant personality but I felt like our table was the least of her concerns as she barely checked on us. We opted to place our main courses right away, I ordered the Jimmy's seafood Fra Diavolo with no calamari and my date ordered the mom's cheese and spinach ravioli. It took 42 minutes for our food to arrive, during our wait, we watched several tables around us get their food, drinks and desert, paid their check and left. No manager ever came over to check on us at all and I didn't feel like this place cared about us having a good experience. We felt like strangers that didn't belong instead of patrons who this establishment was pleased to been chosen by for the night. When the food arrived it was flavorless and bland. My date's ravioli was undercooked and was tasteless and the Jimmy's seafood diavolo, stated it was supposed to be spicy and it was not. It was as if they forgot about the food for our table and the kitchen rushed through the cooking of our food just to finish the ticket. We will not be coming back to this place after such an awful experience and anyone I know, I will not be recommending this place.

It's Valentine's Day! So as I'm driving to dinner I get a call from Sammy's, they are in the weeds and curious if I'm still coming. This should have been my clue but we forged ahead with the 60min trek. We arrive at our 6:30 tee time and are seated right away. After that the experience went south with spotty service, that wobbly table that requires 4 bar coasters and realizing our table was a last minute creative squeeze despite my reservation from last month. Food was mediocre in general. Bread and butter were great. We got the Sally Salad and split it...pretty good if you like that goat cheese. Also chose the muscles but they arrived at the same time Sally did so they got warm and were decent despite temp. By this time we're sorta content so split a dinner choice of Chicken Toni Tina that had some great cutlets but we thought the white sauce was bland and floury. Note: Side order of pasta rigatoni was nice and tasty. Skipped desert and then waited and waited for the check. It was a rough night for service and the place was stacked. Once we did check out the older gentleman serving as Host hinted that it was a bad night. He apologized and don't really need to but he knew the restaurant had shortcomings this Valentine's Day.

The service is horrible. We showed up at 7:25 for a 7:30 reservation and were told that we needed to wait 45 minutes to an hour to be seated. The hostess desk was a mess. There were people with 6:30 reservations that were still waiting to be seated. I guess it's good that they were thar busy, because will not be going back. Next time, we'll go to Vito's instead.

Awesome restaurant and bar. Friendly competent service. Wonderful atmosphere... the kind of place where you can leave your wallet and keys on the bar and use the restroom without any worry that something could go wrong (I literally saw someone else do this...)

Food was delicious and in no way did we feel rushed. Appreciated the ability to make a reservation for 12 people online, rather than calling. Atmosphere and food were great. Didn't feel like we needed to yell when we were talking. Only cons- service was slow. We were limited in drinks due to lack of server attention both at the bar and table. Sat at table at least 15 min before anyone came over and our server looked very tired.

A neighborhood gem with a wonderful vibe & tremendous customer service The food has big portions The salad is fresh & the dressing is homemade. All pasta is cooked to perfection & the tiramisu is worth the calories

Our group of four, on the afternoon of January 27th, would like to give thanks to an amazing lunch. Our server, Ciara, was incredibly friendly, social and patient. Excellent wine and beer list. We'll be happy to return when our server is scheduled to work again.
