Went here with friends on a weekend for a late lunch. My first observation was that this place was fairly empty for being situated in the middle of little italy; there were one or two other seated tables apart from ours. I had the venezia pizza, and tasted the marinara pasta, both of which I thought were bland and could have been easily/effortlessly recreated in my own kitchen for far cheaper. Several things about this restaurant disappointed me. The first was the inconsistent service, which was annoying because there were not very many people in the restaurant to justify this. Secondly, we were waiting over 40 mins. for our food...which certainly is way too long to be waiting for dishes like a small, thin crust pizza, a simple pasta, and polenta. Lastly, this place was certainly expensive, especially for the simpleness of the dishes we ordered and the small portion sizes.
