I give this restaurant maybe a 2.5 stars. We went on a Wednesday night around 10pm and there was a nice amount of people in there. We sat in a booth in the bar area on the main level which is the Emporio. This is the meatball joint. The pasta level was already closed... So we ordered meatballs with spaghetti and some with penne. My husband ordered risotto and did not care for it. To me the flavor and color reminded me of Spaghettio's. They have different styles of meatballs and we had the special, which consisted of pork, rolled with pieces of pepperoni and parm cheese and the second style was spicy pork. I liked the spicy pork better. The noodles are gluten free and we didn't care for the texture or taste. Our waitress was kind but she didn't check on us often. We had to ask a different waitress for almost everything we needed. They also give a carafe with water, but do not ask if you want ice or even a straw. After I asked for that she brought a larger glass with water but never provided refills. So I kept refilling my glass from the carafe, but by the end of our meal the ice was melted from the room temp water! Overall it was a mediocre experience including the food. We will not return.
