    We ordered food and after one hour of wait we left our tables. There were 3 or 4 more tables that had been waiting for their food for over an hour, and people were frustrated with the service. Unfortunately, this ruined the Motherโ€™s Day lunch for my mom and my wife.

    I had reservation for two on Mothers Day. We arrived 10 minutes early and no one came to greet us. The restaurant was crowded and noisy with two tables of at least 10 people each in the back and two tables of 6 towards the front. We quickly surmised that there was exactly one waitress, being bossed around by a woman who seemed to be the manager/owner. After 15 minutes we grabbed the poor woman to ask for water. Another 10 minutes passed before we got the water. More people arrived. The sole waitress was running wild trying to serve everyone by herself. One of the tables of 6 had to go ask the owner if they were ever getting their food. Meanwhile the owner brought a plate to the other table of 6 that they didnโ€™t order. The waitress kept apologizing and greeted everyone with a big smile. I wanted to leave money for her but was afraid she wouldnโ€™t get it. We left and wonโ€™t be back.

    Had a reservation for 8:45pm and received a call 1 hr prior that the restaurant wouldnโ€™t be able to see me because they had a big party arrive and didnโ€™t have seats and the kitchen staff was really behind.

    I had been in this restaurant last year and really like the food. We went again last week with my family. They brought my husbandโ€™s pizza and we had to wait another 15 minutes for the rest of our foods. I ordered the bone marrow pasta and it was completely raw! I completely lost my appetite seeing the blood on the bone. They brought me another one but i refused cause it had just ruined my appetite. They didnโ€™t charge my for my food though. Overall i didnโ€™t like our experience this time and i wouldnโ€™t go back

    atmosphere : seemed kinda cold, actually sat under a vent and it WAS cold. maybe tablecloths or dividers of some kind to make it seem less like a pop-up place to eat with just a bunch of tables and chairs in a room w hard floor. That was o it complaint. Good was great. Would suggest flatbread of some sort in the appetizer menu. The pizza dough is so yummy and then can have pasta AND pizza in one trip. Also need more signage outside, canโ€™t tell itโ€™s even a restaurant!!

    Food was okay, though some of our order arrived cold. Servers were friendly but not very attentive.
