It was okay. Normal, expected Italian fair. The food looked heavy and my party got sleepy after consuming it.

Food was good. General manager Jeffrey was a bit of a jerk and rude, but the regular wait staff were great.
Vegetarian selection is poor.

Sadly prices are way too expensive . I have never seen so expensive pasta with basic amount of meet or veggies. $38 plus tax so more than $40 dollars. You have the option that is big but that is $51 plus tax for pasta with tomato sauce! menu was limited. Service had memory issues and he avoided eye contact with us waiting to pay the bill for 20 minutes. There is an African-American server who wasn't out server but we want to make sure his boss knows he was amazing with his tables. Full of energy, big smile, genuine interest in his customers. We ate fine but it was way overpriced and we will go to other Italian places with same food but less. Best option is share one big to eat as other places but then you have to eat the same. Plus we were there for a birthday and the waiter not even said happy birthday or congratulations. Even less a tiny piece or cake or ice cream either. Restaurant was pretty empty but they put us all in a tiny room and all tables and seats taking back to back while rest of the place totally empty. It felt crowded, loud and not pleasant. Menus has strong fragrance scent residue and I'm allergic to fragrances so it was a hassle . Very disappointing. Not coming back.

The food is not worth the price!
The service was amazing and the atmosphere is nice, but the quality of the food was unacceptable for an average of $40-$50 per entre, even if it IS family-style.
The calamari was OK, though I think it would pair much better with a lemon aioli instead of the marinara it came with. For our meal, we ordered the lasagna and the salmon - both came out MUCH quicker than expected. The lasagna was terribly dry and the sauce poured over the top was chunky and borderline coagulated. We recognize that lasagna has to be prepared somewhat in advance, but this seemed VERY old - Cook less, more often! The salmon was cooked fine, but flavorless aside from the lemon sauce it was in.
Unfortunately, this is not an establishment I would revisit again... and a manager walking around giving out coupons for return visits tells me that I'm not the only person who feels that way.
