Not sure why there are such polarized reviews on this restaurant - I would say that this place is a fairly standard Italian restaurant with some pros and some cons.
They definitely try to be more upscale, which was nice for appearance/ambiance sake, but some items are definitely pricier than you would expect them to be.
To start off, the complimentary bread was delicious! Honestly, my favorite part of the whole meal. I ordered the Chicken Pietro which was good, but nothing special. My friends weren't particularly thrilled about their dishes either. Definitely sizable portions though, so you could easily take home leftovers and have two meals for the price of one.
Overall, I enjoyed my meal but wasn't blown away. The service was quick and friendly, and I did like the decor of the restaurant. We did have to wait a decent amount (~45 minutes-1 hour) at 7 PM on a Friday night, so make sure to make reservations for larger parties!
