Our server, Caterin, was incredibly friendly and patient with us as we struggled to make a decision from the tempting menu. Unlike other dining experiences where one dish stands out while others fall short, every item we tried, from the calamari to the lasagne to the house Chianti, was exceptional. The marinara sauce, in particular, was outstanding - so bright and fresh. We couldn't get enough of the calamari and had to order extra because it was just that delicious. The only downside is that the restaurant is too far from where we live, but we've already made plans to return. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this place. It's a five-star dining experience all the way.

I had the spaghetti carbonara and my wife had the penne with crushed peppers and homemade red sauce. I usually support small businesses and don't like leaving negative reviews, but I had a bad experience this time. The food made me sick to the point where I had to pull over on the side of the road to vomit, and my wife had to drive me home as she was feeling unwell too. The service was good, although there were very few staff members. The atmosphere seemed nice but outdated. The food felt like a kitchen nightmare moment, with potential for improvement. The spaghetti carbonara had a strong wine taste and the penne was more tangy than spicy. The sautéed mushrooms were good but tasted strange, and the spinach and egg soup was salty and off. The total cost was $49 after tip. I hope this feedback helps the restaurant improve these specific menu items. My wife and I are willing to give it another chance if we hear of any changes. I've heard the pizza and calzone are good though.

The customer service was ok, definitely did not get a Hello when I walked in. And we got food poisoning from the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. Probably won't be back for a while.
