  • i had no idea this place has been around as long as it has, but after hearing this, it kind of makes sense in terms of the overall experience. I was excited to try this place out, and my anticipation only grew as it was booked up on more than one occasion. I have mixed feelings about my experience: FOOD: On two separate occasions I had the Penne Alla Vodka and the Penne Al Salmone. Both came in an excellent rose vodka sauce, which was just the right amount of creamy for me. There wasn't a whole lot of mushrooms or salmon in either dish, but enough to suffice. We had the bruschetta, which came with some of our dishes - this was not spectacular, but good overall with fresh tomato and warmed bread. Although I did not order it myself, a quick taste of the poached salmon was quite impressive, with the tender fish seemingly melting in my mouth. As for the dessert, the Spumoni (which came with the set meals) was literally the best I have ever had. Sure, I have not had spumoni many times in my life, but I am confident in saying that this place makes the best I've seen at least. ATMOSPHERE/SERVICE: Here is where I become somewhat conflicted. Sure, many restaurants become tougher to navigate once you have a newborn baby to accommodate, but this place kind of left a bad taste in my mouth given the demeanor of certain staff. As others have mentioned already, there is a sense that the staff here have been doing this for so long, with the restaurant popular enough that they no longer need to put much effort into customer service. During my initial call to make reservations, I already had a sense that this place was not particularly "baby-friendly." On arrival our server claimed they did not use baby chairs, only for us to see another party given one later in the evening. On this particular night (Tuesday), they had a live band, who by most standards were playing music really damn loud. It wasn't even that the loud music was irritating our baby, but the music was SO LOUD nobody at our table could even hear each other talk. Between songs I heard another table next to us also mention how loud the music was. Loud music in itself is not problematic, but I was turned off by one of the staff's reaction to my very friendly inquiry as to whether or not they could ask the band to turn down their speakers (which btw were quite unnecessary for a fairly small room). She cut me off and simply said "NO...that's just the way it is," before walking away. Quite rude I would say. VERDICT: I will probably come back, since the food is quite good, but not on a Tuesday. Hoping the quality of service improves, but as others have mentioned, the staff may have become too complacent.
