  • The food must be exceptional because the restaurant was nearly packed and it was a Tuesday night. I read reviews where people celebrated special occasions quite often, and they had positive things to say. It was a special occasion for us. I was helping my niece celebrate her 21st birthday in a memorable way. She told me she wanted to go to a fancy place but not too fancy. Lol. So I did my homework. I spent days trying to choose a very nice place that a 21 year old picky eater would enjoy. I picked the wrong place to celebrate. Everything was awesome until we stepped inside. We had done some major clothes shopping for her and had cocktails prior to arriving... it was her first alcoholic beverage she had ever ordered. Then we arrived at the restaurant and found parking and took lots of pictures of us and the mansion. It was beautiful. Everything was perfect until we stepped inside. As soon as I walked in the door it took everything I had to hide the disappointment on my face. I knew I was at the right place but it was nothing like I imagined it to be. Had I not read all the great reviews I would have thought I was in a Tavern or Pub. I have no problem spending money on fine dining. It's not their problem I did not like one of the dishes. I knew it was a gamble. But I Do desire a tiny bit of ambiance. Some small indication that it is a Fine dining establishment. It was very dark inside. Did not even feel like a bistro. I don't really know how to describe it. It had some beautiful art on the walls that I could see close by where we were sitting. We didn't have to wait and everyone from the hostess, wait person and bartender were very nice. Our table was super small. With tables to our left and right. So at first I thought to myself. Great....no privacy. I wanted to talk to her about some personal matters. But as we sat down I quickly realized we were not going to be able to talk at all!!! If we both leaned forward across the table and were LESS than a foot away from each other and spoke as loud as we could with out yelling, then we could talk to one another. I was so disappointed. I was so angry because I felt like I let my niece down, but I tried to make the best of it. It was not going to be the leisurely dinner that I thought it would be. We had to basically yell all of our questions and orders to the nice woman who was waiting on our table and we had to yell to the kind bartender who came to our table to help make something special for my niece to enjoy. And because the place was busy busy, everything FELT rushed. They did not rush us though. We ate quickly and left as soon as we could. We had one appetizer, a pizza each, one dessert and three drinks. The tab before gratuity was $96.00. The appetizer was the SQUASH BLOSSOMS (13) and it was quite nice... My niece had the PEPPERONI + SAUSAGE pizza minus the sausage (15) and I had the TARTUFI pizza (15). Unfortunely it was way too sweet for me to eat. I took it home and ended up just throwing it out. My mistake. I should have ordered something different. My favorite was the desert ZEPPOLI. (8). So the food is really good. Seems like a place thst corporate business diners would enjoy . Not a place for a leisurely calm or romantic dinner. At least that's the way I felt. IF I was a guest of someone who took me there it would have been fine. But it was a special occasion, and not what I was looking for that night. It's going to be hard to rate. The people are nice and efficient. It's just does not have the ambiance I want when the entrĂ©es are around $30 each. We had just pizza. OBTW. I did like my nieces pizza!!! Ciao.
