Went here with my boyfriend because we wanted serious Italian food and a romantic atmosphere. When we got there, it was jam packed even though it was 9:30. Our reservation was for 9:45 and they didn't keep us waiting for long although the waiting area was non-existent so people were packed up against the walls and the stairs. But they posted all the pictures of celebrities that had dined there so that entertained us for about 10 minutes.
The lady who brought us to our table and our waiter wasn't super friendly like they might be at chucky cheese but as humble students, we didn't really care. One might consider it snobby but we didn't really think so.
We ordered a beef appetizer to share that came with rocket and cheese. Then for the main course, my boyfriend had the scallops with a side of linguine and I had the appetizer sized pasta with salmon and asparagus. I'm glad I ordered the appetizer size because the main portion would've been too big. My pasta was delicious even though it wasn't extravagant. Texture of the pasta was good and the sauce wasn't too heavy. My boyfriend loved the scallop. It was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Even the plain linguine had a good flavor.
Then, because I'm a sucker for dessert, we ordered the dessert daily special to share which was a nutella tart. It was AMAZING (although it would've been better with ice cream).
My biggest problem with this restaurant was that it was too noisy. Granted, it was a Saturday night and there's nothing a restaurant can do about noise but if you're looking for a quiet romantic spot, this isn't the best place to go. At least not on a Saturday.
The price was a tad expensive considering what they were serving wasn't THAT superb but if you want solid, tasty Italian food and want to get dressed up for an evening, this place isn't a bad idea. We probably won't come back here again considering we're living on a university student budget but it was a novelty experience.
I recommend you make a reservation.
