We arrived about 7:15 for a 7:30 reservation and were greeted by a friendly host who seated us promptly in their tented patio area. It was fairly busy, but not overly crowded. We waited several minutes to be greeted by our server, who was a super nice man, but seemed to have more tables than he could handle efficiently. We waited for water...which finally came about 10 minutes after being seated....then finally drinks, appetizer and entree orders taken. Calamari was delicious, but no tentacles...just rings . At one point, one of the bus staff dropped a plate on the walkway a few feet from us. It took a good 10 15 minutes of staff (stepping over/around) the plate for someone to eventually clean it up. Several people just walked past it, a few more stepped over it, but no one made an effort to pick it up for a notable amount of time...Anyway, about 8:30 (yes, over an hour after our arrival) our entrees arrived with apologies for the delay, and an I 'm not sure what 's going on, they 're usually on top of things in the kitchen . Again the server was very nice, and apologetic and seemed equally frustrated by whatever was going on that evening. I had their signature dish chicken cacciatore....it was...okay. Held a chicken in a wine sauce. The breast was dry, but the rest of it was good, and the sauce was fine, just not the typical red/brown sauce I 'm familiar with. Another in our group had the vodka rigatoni , which, those who tasted it (not me) said was very good. By the time we were done eating and the plates cleared, we decided to get dessert, to go. Cannoli, Tiramisu all were delicious. The server wished us safe travels, which was nice. So, maybe just an off night for them...they 've been there for a while, so they must be doing something right, but maybe just not the night we were there.

Never a bad meal. Service is amazing with attentive staff. Welcoming to the eye as well. Not too bright and not too dark. read more Never a bad meal. Service is amazing with attentive staff. Welcoming to the eye as well. Not too bright and not too dark.

Two of us had the vodka rigatoni, one with chicken and one with shrimp. The sauce was to die for! I thought my daughter might lick the plate. The braised beef papardelle was scrumptious. And the chicken scarpiello was delicious as well! We all had lots of leftovers to take home! The salads were fresh and tasty--especially the Caesar. The bread was fresh and crusty. Cannolis and chocolate cake rounded off a wonderful meal! We arrived right at 5 when they opened and were glad we did. The place was packed by the time we left. The atmosphere was very nice with dimmed lighting. Service was ok. There seemed to be a lot of servers standing around. We will be back!

They offer both outdoor and indoor dinning.Great ambiance in any of its dining rooms, small but cozy bar. We got seated right away and were welcomed with awesome bread. Salads were freshand tasty. We loved the Al denge cooked pasta with rich and creamy vodka sauce. Super friendly staff. Minor downsides: very fewparking spots. Had to park by the bank behind it. Highly recommend.
