   Arrived 10 minutes prior to my 7:00 reservation. Was seated on time, no problem. Room were we were seated had 6 tables, very loud and noisy, we couldn't even talk. Waiter took our drink order. I ordered a bloody mary with limes and olives. I was told there were no olives available and received a very small piece of lime. First time I was there a few weeks ago, they had no bloody mary mix. Bartender apparently isn't on top of what's in the bar! Food took a long time to get and the waiter apologized. Food was good, but something needs to be corrected with the bar situation and not having to wait forever for our food. I will go back one more time to see if anything has improved. Hope so!!

   It was really just ok. I got a salad that was at least half radicchio and the salmon on it was insanely salty (and I don’t normally complain about meals). Significant delays with drinks and affogato. Despite tons of tables and every other set of two people at a 4 top, we were squeezed onto a tiny 2 top. Our waitress was too fast to ask for the order then too fast to check in on us (husband hadn’t even taken a bite yet). It was much better the other time I was there. Maybe just an off night.

   We had an alfresco lunch on the porch. I requested a table outside--upon arrival there was all sorts of confusion about putting a party of 5 on the porch. They finally agreed. Our server was very attentive--- drinks and food seemed slow-ish. Charcuterie board contained only 4 pieces of cheese and a blob of burrata for $22.00. Disappointing. Cocktails were on point--delicious! My friend ordered the meatball sandwich only to be told that menu item had been discontinued. Kale salad and pizza were delicious. Very excited about this restaurant!

   So excited to try this new restaurant in Birkdale, Huntersville, NC this evening! The design of the building is beautiful, but, sorry to say, this is anything but “true” Italian food! Coming from an Italian…… that is. The Chicken Parmesan was just fair, the little gem salad overdressed and pasta Alfredo?…. much too “Al dente”. We ordered bread, it never arrived. Our salad was served AFTER the main course. All in all, a disappointing evening…… I guess we need to go back to Cheesecake Factory.

   Great place to enjoy a family get together. Lasagna was very unusual, but certainly delicious. Chicken parm was very tasty as well. Not super busy on a Tuesday night, but made a reservation just to be sure.

   The food was delicious but our server India was terrible. She was lazy and inattentive. It took forever for her to ever make it to our table, just as long to take drink orders, and even longer to take our food order. When the food finally came out, it was staggered too far apart for our party of 7. India did not check on us or do much of anything but chat with her coworkers. I will try the restaurant again but not with the same server.
