How does this place stay in business?. Honestly, I don't know how someone could give this place a positive review. I do not write reviews very often, but it was such a bad experience that I had to do something about it. When you walk into the place, it has the appearance of a great restaurant. However, as soon as we did not order alcohol, the waiter's entire demeanor changed. Even though we ordered well over $100 worth of food, apparently, he felt that we were not worth his time. While my wife was ordering, the waiter interrupted her by yelling at a passing bus boy and interrupted me to yell at another bus boy. The food was average and the dessert was downright awful. How does this place stay in business?

PRICEY, but good food & really nice atmosphere. We went on Mother's Day & service was awful. We were seated upstairs & our poor server was friendly, but he must have had too many tables assigned to him. Did like the fact that the upstairs was much quieter than the main restaurant.

My husband likes to come at lunch, the lunch prices are much more reasonable.

Best rolls in town. Mother & I ate 2, lost count on my husband!

Food was quite tasty. Mother had the Mele e Speck salad with apples, Gorgonzola, Walnuts and bacon in , apple cider vinaigrette.

I had the fixed price menu with ravioli stuffed with braised veal, ricotta and spinach in fresh sage butter

with lemon and pine nuts (outstanding), $11

Chicken breast stuffed with sun dried tomato pesto (almost undetectable, over grilled asparagus (one spear), goat cheese and roasted potato torta with black truffle cream - DELISH! $26.

Husband had Cacciucco - a stew of shrimp, scallops, fresh fish, calamari and mussels sautéed with red chili, spring onions and roasted tomato sauce with (not over as the menu says) grilled bruschetta $28. His stew was large & outstanding, but the bread was burned.

Dessert of Semi-frozen "Dreamsicle" mousse with honey, orange compote and shortbread was just OK - very mild. $6.

White chocolate mascarpone tart with strawberry coulis was good, but not outstanding. Crust tasted like maybe it had been frozen $7.

Disappointed by bad service. My husband took me to this restaurant for lunch on my birthday. The decor is good and the food is quite tasty, even though the portion sizes of the food are on the small side considering the big price tag. While polite, the waiter did not seem to be very interested in serving us. We only saw him when it was time to order our drink, food and dessert and when it was time to bring the bill. Our water glasses were not refilled even once, we were not offered more than one small piece of bread roll each with our soup and when I gave the waiter my camera to take our photograph, he did not check to see if our eyes were closed or not! As it was lunch time on a week day, the restaurant was pretty empty except for a handful of us. I cannot understand why the service was that bad. We will definitely not go again and we do not recommend this place. The food is good but for the small portion size, big price and bad service, it is not worth the money, time and trip.

Really good food. Despite the somewhat odd location and interesting staff- we love the food and atmosphere here. Don't get me wrong the loaction is fine just seems out of place in that shopping center. The wait staff is fine just seems inexperienced (clueless front desk and wait staff that is friendly but just a little odd).

The food is very good, we've loved the dishes. The calamari was alittle too much deep fried goodness for me but the pasta with mushrooms - amazing! Looking forward to heading back to try the veal...it just looked too good at the table next to us last time.

Funny note, been two-three times and the same late 50's dude with a biker bandana and sleevless vest/tshirt with motorcycle tour was at the bar. Seemed waaaay too comfortable there. We get it, you have a bike and a mid life crisis...

Also very loud, cement floors. If you want cozy ask for the back room.
