My wife and I stopped in at around 6:30pm on Friday. There were several open tables, but the hostess (who then became our waitress, named Leslie) acted extremely reluctant to offer us a table. Quite possibly because I was envoking my legal right to carry a firearm since their establishment does not have signage posted in a conspicuous location on the outtermost entrance of the building while wearing shorts with boots, and my wife has dyed hair with piercings and tattoos. She cited a party of 15 that would be coming in, and that they were "very busy, when in reality they really weren't. She never actually introduced herself. We got her name from our check. When we ordered, we each asked for a water with lemon and immediately ordered since we had plenty of time to review the menu whilst waiting. My wife got the salmon with a side salad, and I got the veal parm with a side salad. It literally took her 30 minutes just to bring our waters out. She offered no bread and butter while we waited, but another server randomly came up and offered us some. Our meals finally came, along with our side salads (rather than prior to the meal, which is typically customary) My wife said the Salmon was OK. Not good. Not bad. Just OK. My veal parm was downright BAD. It was more chewy than beef jerky, but at least beef jerky has FLAVOR, and my pasta was overcooked. Our "side salads" (at $8 a piece, mind you) were nothing but a small bowl of shredded lettuce that barely tasted as if it had any dressing at all. The waitress never once returned to check on us or provide refills. At one point the manager approached us as we went to leave and asked how everything was. We told him of our poor experience, and he informed us they had lost a server AND a cook the day prior and that "things were tough." He also made it same as though he was already aware of the VERY poor cuts of veal, because he stated "we're trying to get that changed quickly." However, he genuinely didn't seem to actually care. My wife and I enjoy restaurants at least 3 to 4 times a week during our weekend travels in Ohio and every state that borders it. We like to support local by going to the one-off, non-chain restaurants. But we have to say! This was by far the WORST dining experience we have ever had. Such a shame.

I knew as soon as the home made bread came out it was going to be excellent! The olive tapenade was amazing where other places make it oily or acidic, it was delicate and simply fantastic! Quiet and quiant, authentic from scratch, don't care that it's Ala carte the portion size, quality to price is worth it! Cocktails were mixed perfect! My wife and I had a lovely dining experience. So much that I purchased gift certificates for other family/friends. Dine when you can relax and want the real deal.

First time there tonight I have to say we definitely will be back… The best meatballs and sauce I have ever had.
