Considered trying this restaurant but quickly changed my mind after reading the reviews. It’s 2024.

The food was absolutely disgusting. Salad, great. My mother and I ordered the carbonara and the Alfredo and we both couldn’t finish eating it. The carbonara literally tasted like a bag of bbq lays chips and my Alfredo noodles were hard, hardly any sauce, and just tasted awful. My glass had someone else’s lipstick on it (I was not wearing any) and the bread was hard and tasted burned. Needless to say, we will never come back. Too expensive for food you won’t eat and dirty lipstick glasses.

My wife and I have been wanting to try this place for a while, however, after reading the reviews I think we will pass. If you have a dress code that is strictly enforced, then please state that on your site or at minimum on the outside of the building.

The best Italian in town. Started with the soft shell crab and it is melt in your mouth amazing. We love the pasta and the buffalo ribeye is the best we've had. The staff and service are terrific and make every visit perfect!

Went to eat and was met at the door as if it was a guarded place. Couldn't come in because we had to have reservations and then proceeded to say it's also a dress code. I've always said it not what you say its how you say it and that's the case here. We went to campisis and glad we did. I wouldn't go there because of the way we were treated at the door. Kindness goes a long way.

They do not honor their prices listed on Google maps. $30 is too much when advertised for &16

Been coming here since I was 3 and yes, there is a dress code. There is a lot of respect here and I grew up here. It's not discrimination it's the way it is. Super respectful and Classy! Best food and atmosphere I have ever loved and admired. The flavors are beyond words. He is a very Private restaurant. He doesn't really have a website just very reputable customers. So as a reputable customer. Know his restaurant is highly respected. All you have to do is call for a reservation and dress up. ??

Terribly struck up front greeters! We had no idea we needed reservations and when we walked in wearing jeans and nice tops we were very rudely told they had a dress code as well! We love to try new places, however this will not be a place we feel the need to try after how we were treated this evening!

Very authentic northern Italian experience. Our service was great and the food and wine were even better. Our party of four tried the ostrich 3-g, veal medallions, boneless ribeye, and the venison with mushrooms. All were perfectly cooked and delicious as were the accompanying salads and mashed potatoes. We will definitely be back!

It was a Friday evening and we decided to grab dinner here since we have been wanting to try it. I was in nice jeans, a shirt and sweater, my husband was in nice jeans a collared shirt with a hoodie on top, and our cousin was wearing the same as my husband. It was not very crowded at all. Once we walked into the restaurant, the hostess had her back to us and turned around. She said "Do you have reservations"? I said "oh no, sorry, did we need them?" The snotty hostess looked at my husband up and down while she said "Yes and you don't meet the dress code". While saying this she completely turned her nose up at us and I just couldn't believe that we were being victims of discrimination based on the way we were dressed. There were no signs stating they had a dress code. I have never experienced this type of profiling before. I mean a dress code? Have you seen the outside of your restaurant? It looks like a dump. We all could have walked right into Ruth's Chris dressed like we were and no one would have turned their nose up at us like you did. Lastly, in the shape our economy is in today, should you really be turning people away when they are willing to spend money at your establishment. I can promise you that my husband alone can buy that restaurant from you if he wanted to. Don't judge people by the way they are dressed. I guess you lost three customers tonight who were interested in supporting your local business. We will not even attempt to go back when we are properly dressed and have reservations. Good luck with your business.

The menu on Google is not the correct menu! If you call and order take-out be careful that you are looking at the correct menu! I learned a very expensive lesson about this. While the food was cooked correctly and the flavors were okay, it was not what I was expecting or wanting.
