We were hopeful for a great meal. The eggplant parm was cold in the middle & the ossobuco came in a tomatoe sauce which was not very good.
The calamari was great, but the main meal left us disappointed.

Service incroyable! Beaucoup d'ambiance ! Moins aimé les agnolettis que la fois précédente, car moins généreux en sauce, mais c'était quand même très bon !

Nice atmosphere but the food was not the best.
The appetizers were quite good (the arancini so good!), but the main took way to long to arrive (1 hour plus) & they were just ok.
The lasagna was not great, with little to no sauce between layers, & completely smothered in cheese. The layers were all sticking together & felt undercooked.

Nous sommes des habitués depuis plusieurs années.
Qualité de nourriture moins bonne qu'à l'habitude.
Personnel peu attentionné.
Clientèle différente.
Nous avons été éclaboussé par un pot de sauce tomate qui est tombé---personne ne s'est soucié de nous

We had a lovely dinner. My husband ordered the Linguine Pescatore in a tomato sauce. We specifically asked if the sauce was spicy (he is spice intolerant). We were told that the sauce is not spicy. When the food arrived at the table, I tasted the dish first. I detected pepper in the sauce. My husband took one mouthful & said that it was too spicy for him. Our other dining guest ordered the same dish. He tasted it & said it has pepper in it. We spoke with the server & said that the dish was too spicy for him. The server went to the kitchen, came back & said the sauce was not spicy. Here we are-3 people saying that the sauce was spicy & we are getting pushback from the server. We asked if the dish could be remade in the garlic & oil. It was & it was perfect. The rest of the meal was excellent. this would have been 5 stars across the review had we not had this issue with the spice in the tomato sauce. While it was a bit spicy for me, for someone who is spice intolerant, it was 5 alarm hot.

Je trouve que la quantité & qualité a vraiment diminuer. Nous avons apportez nos restant mais mon amie m'a laisser la lasagne pour y goûter.. j'y ai goûter pour dîner. Je me demande s'ils n'ont pas oublier de mettre de la sauce à l'intérieur.. ça ne goûtait que les pâtes & un peu de fromage.. & moi j'ai pris un veau parmigiana. Le veau ok, mais la quantité de pâte tellement minime.. & j'avais l'impression que les pâtes était du réchauffé & avec beaucoup moins d'ail que d'habitude .. épais & pas du tout comme avant. De plus notre entrée de fondu.. nous sommes parti à rire tant que nous avions un fond dans le petit pot pour les tomates(environ 6 petits carrés).. nous en avons demander car une fondu sans salade c'est beaucoup moins agréable à manger. Il me semble qu'on servait cela avec autre choses & un bon bol de tomates en cubes.... Voilà, en espérant que vous retrouvez vos valeurs de début.. pour le moment j'irai essayer les nouveaux italiens du coin. Merci

1-Entrée burrata: très moyen, j'aurais préféré avec tomates fraîches au lieu de sauce tomate,
2- papardelles aux champignons: trop de truffes...odeur désagréable & trop goûteux
3- fletan: Très très bon !

J'avais réservé notre table en ligne au début du mois de mai. Quand nous sommes arrivés au restaurant le 25 juin, j'étais un peu déçue de la table qu'on nous avait assigné. Mais le personnel du restaurant a tout fait pour nous accommoder & nous rendre l'expérience agréable. Autant le gérant que la jeune serveuse & autres serveurs qui apportaient nos assiettes ont été d'une courtoisie & d'une bienveillance exceptionnelles. Nous nous sommes sentis importants pour eux. J'ai même dit à la jeune serveuse, Alexandra, que si j'étais sa mère, je serais vraiment fière d'elle!
Les plats étaient savoureux. J'ai pris les agnolettis farcis au veau & épinards, servis avec une sauce crémeuse au pesto de basilic. Délicieux, quoique peut-être un peu trop intense. J'aurais préféré des saveurs un petit peu plus subtiles. J'avais l'impression d'être déjà pleine après quelques bouchées. Mais c'était tout de même délicieux! J'y retournerai pour essayer un autre plat.
Merci pour le bel accueil!
