  • What a disappointment. Business lunch took way to long to serve. Limited beveridges, and no domestic beers. Food was flavorless and plain, but expensive for what it was. Ceasor dressing was from a bottle, not restaurant made. Service was dismal. Many people from our office used to eat lunch here but recently are going elsewhere.

  • Order: Chicken marsala, ceasar salad

  • I ordered my food and a beer. It took a long time for anything to be brought to me on the patio.
    I was there for 20 minutes when the server's ugly boyfriend showed up . He was served his meal about 1o minutes later while I still waited. I was just about to leave when my meal finally arrived. It was actually very good.
    Service is sub-par. Kitchen is great.

  • Order: Caprese salad, Panini, beer

  • This place has seen many reincarnations, and the most recent is an Italian eatery. Stopped in with a party of 6 during dinner rush. Our reservations got us a large table, which was appreciated. The atmosphere is low lit casual ambiance with Italian designs and architecture. I like the sparkling stars on the ceiling.

    We were served right away by a friendly girl named Erin. SHe was friendly and provided some laughs along the way. Drinks came first. I was very happy to see some craft beer on tap, so I ordered both of the Flying Monkey's beer they had. The beers came right away, and so did the many other drinks during the night, including coffee, wine, water.

    We started with an antipasto platter which was generous. We also has bruschetta which was just as delicious. Very garlicy like I prefer!

    My main was a margherita pizza which was delicious. Others were happy with their meals as well. The chicken provolone looked great!

    Overall I'd go back without question based on this experience. Worth a try!

  • Order: Antipasto platter, bruschetta, pizza, beer, wine.

  • Great looking place! Apparently changed ownership a few months ago. Next door to Mahal's.

    Food was excellent! Tasted homemade and very generous.

    Owner himself came out and looked after us.

    A gem in the core!

  • Order: Italiano antipasto, Fiorentina Pizza, Chicken Pravolone

  • This place has been here for a long time, and always looks very busy and popular. It's right next to the Mahal restaurant.
    The menu was limited, and the food was terrible. Didn't sit well at all with us, and we both didn't feel well. Far too expensive as well.

  • Order: Red pepper hummus, garlic bread, chicken panini, caesar salad
