| - Okay, so for ambience- I gave this place stars. BUT, if this were just based on the food- I would give no starts. My husband is Italian and his father owned to traditional Italian restaurants in our home town. That being said, we still appreciate the modern twist to Italian too; however, this was neither. They make their own pasta- but it's is sticky, tastless and chewy. It was aweful. My husband and I both got pasta dishes and on both- they cook forgot things that were supposed to be cooked into the pasta. My huband got a spinach pasta, the guy forgot to cook it in- so his thought- put the pasta from the plate back in the skillet, add in the spinach and mix it around a couple of times. Needless to say, it was like cold raw spinach leaves with your hot pasta-- didn't really go. The other thing- no one is coming around and refilling drinks or taking your plates or bringing you your food- so why would you have that massive clear box for tip money (right where the hostess is) when you go up to pay. It just seemed tacky.
You can't have it both ways- either you are like a deli where you order at the counter and get your food- or have someone come around and at least refill your drinks, bus your tables (which was not done) and making sure everything is okay.
I think this place has potential - but it just totally misses the mark. The other thing- if you want a drink- you've go to go to the bar to order it, then you have to go to this line for this, then this line for that- just doesnt make that much sense to me.
