Ordered food on grubhub, it said 20 to 30 min delivery time. Over an hour and never received it. The number they have listed on grubhub no one answers, sounds like a private cell phone number. Their number on their site no one answers. Poor service when there is no food and no actual service.

Awful, awful, awful. No staff...the waiter was the host, waiter and bar tender. Drinks were so-so. Mussels and clams were sered in watery tasteless sauce. Veal Marsala was served with a steak knife....should have been a chain saw. When told food was bad, owner walked away without saying a word. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!

This was our first post Covid visit and it will be out last. New ownership??? No help, long wait for lousy foo.d. Surly owner when told food was bad walked away without a word. Veal which you should be able to cut with a fork required a chainsaw. Waiter looked at two largely untouched plates and asked us how was our food....if it were good we wojuld have eaten it

Our first post Covid visit to a The place was once-favorite spot was a disaster. That they were near empty on a Saturday night should have been our first clue. No staff..only a waiter who doubled as bar tender. 30 minutes to get a drink. undersized portion of mussels and clams served in watery sauce. Veal marsala served with a steak knife should have been served with a chain saw. Surly owner who looked at uneaten plates and asked how was it then walked away when told it was lousy. Other couples walked out.

Great food, cute restaurant, great live music. I was surprised we were the only people in the place. Go! You will enjoy it for sure!

Food is great. Third time ordering in 2 weeks. Bread is great also. However, it's so burnt that I have to throw away half of it. Otherwise I would give it a five star.

The food was delish. The owner Joseph was amazing. I had such a great experience, I've having my birthday dinner here.

I had not been here for many years and wanted to try it again. I came across a Groupon so figured the time was right. We arrived without reservations at 7:30 on Saturday night expecting to be turned away but the place was not crowded at all. They must be short handed because service was pretty slow. A musical duo was playing in the corner which was a nice treat. Menu prices are from $20 and up including pasta dishes and if you want salad with your meal it is offered ala carte. We were served 3 thin strips of focaccia bread that was burnt on the bottom and a small bowl of olive oil for dipping. I wanted chicken rolatini but they were out of it so I ordered chicken saltimbocca instead and my husband ordered chicken caprese. We waited some time for the food (I guess because we didn't order appetizers or salad). We were each presented with a rectangular plate with some plain mashed potatoes, 3 asparagus spears and some spinach sautéed with garlic along with our respective chicken entrees Both were a very thick seared chicken breast. Mine had a slice of prosciutto and a slice of melted cheese on top and my husband's had one slice of unripe tomato and melted cheese. The thinner part of the breast was ok but as we neared the thicker part it was quite dry and tough and hard to cut with the butter knife as steak knives were not provided. Although a few people came in after us there were only 6 tables of mostly couples in the room. The waiter never came by to see how things were or to offer us drinks and we sat there for some time after putting down our forks but were not offered a dessert menu or coffee. Thankfully the music was good. The extra star is for the entertainment provided

The worst! And not because of the food. The food was actually okay. The general aesthetic was also nice and so was the variety on the menu. The issue was the management & drunk customer. Plus the manager sitting at the bar SCREAMING arguing for more then an hour. Literally screaming arguing right behind us at the bar. At one point the very lovely singers had the music on full volume, the drink guy was singing heckling AND the manager was screaming at the bar. It was so so jarring and awful and overstimulated . So much for a nice quiet dinner date night. It was the exact opposite. The singers were very nice & added to ambience but the volume was just too high. We had a Groupon and they redeemed it and forgot to take it off bill. Rude manager throws a $20 bill at my boyfriend which didn't Cover what they over charged on his card. Had to argue to really help him get the math and that he owed us $40. Such a hassle. Felt bad for waiter. And nobody checked the drunk guy at all. So loud and obnoxious.

Very disappointed. The staff was friendly and kind, but they only had two servers for a full restaurant. The appetizers and bread were cold. The meal was okay and I was not impressed with the martini. They had live music that day, so it save the atmosphere at least.

Very disappointed about this place. The place was completely full, they only had two servers that could barely keep up with all the clients. Our appetizers and bread was cold. Our meals were poorly cooked as well. We barely got one drink because the bartender was also one of the servers. The only thing that save the night is that they had live music and the band was trying to keep a good mood for everyone on the place. We consider leaving first, but we decided to give it a chance and it was just disappointing. Unfortunately I would not be back.

I had the chicken saltimbocca which I thought was good! I would try something else there.

What a great find! Cute neighborhood restaurant with a nice atmosphere and great food. The wait staff were very attentive and portions and selections were impressive. The live music really added to a lovely evening out. Highly recommend and will definitely be a repeat customer.
