Great Atmosphere, Great Service

by cando2 at Citysearch

What a pleasant surprise...while visiting my parents from Savannah, GA they suggested Italian and with 4 children ages from 14-7 this appealed to all. When walking in you were instantly brought into Italy. The furnishings were so authentic and they were so detailed. When viewing the menu their prices seemed pricey but when the food arrived it was well prepared and very tasty. The server was very busy but the restaurant filled up quickly. He was very pleasant and worked very hard to accommodate so many tables. It was jazz night and what a great added bonus. The music was not too loud and we could speak to each other and the children enjoyed it too. What a great job they have done to make the experience so enjoyable. Don't let the cost effect your decision. The prices fit the overall package.

• Pros: quick to fill glasses, great furnishing to set the Italian atmosphere, friendly service
• Cons: server does it all and which slows down but service flows

Really BAD Service

by AC101 at Citysearch

I went during my lunch hour and after waiting 40 min, inquired on the food. My waiter said that due to several people coming at the same time, they are a little behind. I look around and there were 2 other tables in the restaurant. I finally had to ask to get my food to go after 50 min because I was out of time. I went back to work hungry and hurried up to eat. Spent $13 without tip for a pasta dish that used to be $7 when they had a lunch menu. What a rip off....That is definitely the last time I go there. Food is descent but not worth the aggravation!

• Pros: So so food
• Cons: Can't cook for 3 tables within an hour

Blah Food at too high a price...

by jcrab at Citysearch

Based on neighbors recommendation I went to try this place. Anyone who thinks this place is great has no pallette. The "special" wing sauce is KC Masterpiece or a generic clone and the sauces on both the pastas I tried definitly came out of a bag (Sysco). The chicken that was served tasted like pressed chicken although i am not sure it was. The only way this place is the "best in town" is if its the only place in town. PS - prices are way to high for this generic food...

• Pros: Plenty of parking and no wait
• Cons: Processed Meat, pre-packaged sauces

GREAT DESERTS AND GOOD FOOD

by GDG1954 at Citysearch

My wife & I went on a Saturday evening around 6:30. We had no problem getting a seat and service was

very attentive. We love real Italian food and this was very good. The real thing that sold us was the deserts!! WOW!!!!!!!!! They were very good! The price is comparable to other place with most meals being around $16.00 I recommned this place and we will be back!

Thank You!

• Pros: DESERTS WERE GREAT
• Cons: SEATING TOO CLOSE

Won't be back

The food what good except for one problem. They charge to split meals which is stupid. I ordered 2 appetizers and a dessert but wanted to split the entree. They told me they would charge extra for doing that. Wtf? It wasn't very much more but if someone orders 2 appetizers and a dessert, they aren't trying to be cheap by splitting a meal. I'll stick with Carrabba's where the food is even better and they don't charge to split meals.

• Cons: They charge to split meals

My boyfriend and I went there on a Friday night about 9:30pm, just before closing. We had the place all to ourselves. The food is incredible, the service is great, and the price is just right! This will now become one of our favorite places to eat. Very romantic setting :)

• Pros: Great Food, Romantic, Quiet
