People are rude and won’t move because they want their spot. There should be a designated waiting spot for customers instead of all crowding in the door entry way. Hosts were also not friendly but I think it’s due to the overwhelming atmosphere of people standing right there.

Our server Ryan was good- came by several times, attentive. Food was excellent and plenty to share around the table. The seating was so-so. Hard wood chairs, not very comfortable. And the table for 8 was tight for all the dishes we ordered. Noise level VERY loud; had to shout at the person directly across from me just to be heard, couldn’t even talk to people at other end of the table.

Fresh, authentic food didn’t leave me feeling heavy as other Italian restaurants do. Fettuccine Alfredo was delish. Try the tiramisu for dessert but share it. Quitelarge but oh so yummy. Restroom was upstairs which is a problem if you can’t climb the stairs. Didn’t see an elevator, butdidn’t ask. Will definitely return.

They were very busy on Friday evening when we went, and we were seated approximately 15 minutes after our reservation time. There were two of us. Service is a little spotty as they do not have sufficient staff to cover all the tables efficiently. However, our server was really hustling and doing the best she could. My primary complaint is that this restaurant is extremely noisy. It is difficult to have a conversation, even with the person sitting next to you. Sit outdoors if you can (weather permitting).
