Not having eaten here until last week, I can't compare it to the prior ownership, but the meal we had was disappointing. The Mediterranean chicken, veal parmesan, and butternut squash ravioli were all passable--lacking in flavor, spice, freshness, originality; nothing close to what earlier reviews had mentioned; even the bread was plain, as though it was purchased at Safeway. The staff appeared new, and not prepared even for the two tables of diners (4 at each table) in attedance. There are many Italian restaurants to choose from; try again.
