Seating was right on time with our reservation. The staff were warm and welcoming. Menu was well rounded and the food was delicious. Pricing was a bit high, but not enough to bypass next time. * complimentary valet parking was fine, but unexpected *

I had the whole branzino, which was fresh and perfectly grilled. Our server did an excellent job filleting it for me. It came with stewed vegetables in a red sauce which was very tasty. The super Tuscan by the glass was quite nice too.

Ordered cocktails and asked that our food was not served until we finished our drinks. Food came while we still had 1/2 our drinks left. Service was adequate at best. Ordered seafood pasta that came with a 1/2 lobster " in shell" , I don't believe this was disclosed, otherwise wouldn't have ordered it. This would have been OK if it was not already in the tomato sauce. We were unable to remove the lobster from the shell an quiet frankly made a mess trying to do so. We wound up leaving the lobster. The rest of the dish was excellent, scallops, clams and mussels, very fresh and tasty but not worth the price without the lobster. The sauce was excellent. Very loud atmosphere. Not what I would consider appropriate for fine dining. Had been here several times before and enjoyed but probably will not return.

Dinner was well prepared and our server was excellent. The atmosphere is very impressive with the improvements the owners have completed to the dining room.

It’s been a few years since we’ve been to the restaurant. I appreciate it back then and I appreciate it now, but I’ll be a little more critical. The prices were good. The meals were good. The special many of us had today was a swordfish and it was very good, but I will tell you like many restaurants the risotto was not al dente so I’m very glad I didn’t order the risotto entrée. The seafood tagliatelle was probably the best meal out of everything. It had the most flavor and the sauce really clung to the pasta. The lemon cello at the end was a very nice touch, but it was a vodka lime-cello which was fine. We felt rushed. The entrees came out right after we finished the apps. The shrimp Fra Diavlo was not spicy at all. The calamari was excellent. The polenta as an app was good and I liked the char but for many that may be much.

I wanted to like this more than I did!! First off parking is crazy. There is a valet . We went on a Friday evening and it was very busy and quite loud . The service was efficient but not especially warm. My husband and I started with a cocktail which came very quickly. We ordered, but told our waiter we weren't in a hurry. My cocktail was a cosmopolitan which was ok but tasted too "juicy". My husband got a manhattan which was large and he said it was pretty good. They brought bread which was just ok - not really good Italian bread. It came with olive oil and hummus. My husband and I shared the Italian wedge salad. They didn't split it for us or give us an extra salad plate . It was tasty. I got the veal saltimbocca which was a huge portion of three pieces of veal. It was good but kind of tough and was topped with a really heavy brown sauce. Husband got ravioli that he liked. They brought us complimentary limoncello at the end of the meal.

The food was OK, but not great. Points deducted because they did not prepare carbonara properly. There is NO cream in carbonara.

Everything is typically good at this restaurant. Ribeye special was excellent this evening. The service and the special was excellent on a busy night.

Food was Excellent, service was somewhat slow. Only real gripe - web site says BYOB, but there is a $25 per bottle Corking Fee! That's NOT BYOB; can't have it both ways, tell the truth!
