Given that Piccolo Forno is just down the street, I would expect better, much better.
The food is OK. Huge portions that are reminiscent of Bravo. Nothing particularly interesting that stood out aside from the greens & beans which I loved.
The food and portions are OK enough that I would have returned if I was craving chain-like food not at a chain, had it not been for the service. We had made reservations for 7 of us for a friends birthday. A few major downfalls:
1. We brought a cake which the waitress just sat on a random chair when we told her at the beginning. When it was time for us to sing, we removed it ourselves and had to track the waitress down to ask for plates and a knife to cut it. They then charged us $10 for their "service". Every other restaurant I have brought a cake to has immediately taken the cake to the kitchen to refrigerate it, brought it out with a candle on and cut/served the cake to us.
2. They were out of Pinot Grigio by the bottle?? They offered zero alternative options and instead we had to all have individual glasses of pinot grigio... out of a bottle. It was just confusing, like if you are out of your "bottled option" give us another "bottled option"! There were seven of us ready to drink bottles upon bottles and instead we had to go by the glass. It honestly seemed like they were scamming us.
3. Our waitress was nonexistent. We waited over 20 minutes for her to take our orders, she rarely filled our water unless asked, and overall all was extremely rude.
4. The guest of honor's lovely boyfriend had called in advance to surprise her and us with 2 bottles of champagne. They gave the bottles to another table and did nothing to rectify the situation.
