  • Our first visit to the establishment and it happened to be our Anniversary and it will be our last. The decor was very nice! The host was pleasant but then it turned.... Our first clue should have been the place was not busy on a Saturday night at 7:00. It took 10 minutes for a server to greet us and take our drink orders. The server started calling us "my friends" and felt the need to touch my shoulder or back every time he came to the table. He brought the drinks, poured my wife's wine and splashed it all over the side of the glass and table cloth. We ordered apps. Arancini and Calamari, and our salad a Caprese to share. The apps came out in a timely manner. 3 Arancini about the size of a golf ball, The first one I took was so hard and over fried I couldn't get my fork in it and it shot off my plate. When I finally got it cut, there was very little risotto inside mostly bread crumbs and cheese. The other 2 were acceptable and prepared correctly although they had very little flavor. I told the server and he brought replacements which were not any better. I will say the Calimari was the only shining star of the entire meal. Crispy and tender and a nice crunch from adding cornmeal to the breading. The Caprese Salad came. Disappointing! Mozzarella precut from the manufacturer bland vine tomato's. Whole basil leaves. Just plain lazy BOH (Back of House)! Come on Chef! The entree's were delivered. I'm not even going to get into the actual names of the dishes because honestly I don't think it would have mattered what we ordered. Mine was a lobster pasta with what I think was either pancetta or prosciutto..either way it over cooked and large slices..again lazy BOH staff. My wife had a seafood risotto which had shrimp, lobster and scallop pieces.....really pieces? Why not use a small Bay Scallop? Once again BOH issue, if your going to mix those all together in a pasta make sure you have timing and the cook times right because what you served showed you don't know or don't care. Over cooked and chewy/rubbery. The Chef needs to revamp and retrain his staff....if he cares. While the over all experience was disappointing the server was pleasant and attentive which is why we still gave him a very respectable tip. I normally give a place that has some redeeming qualities 3 chances. Not so with this place. We will not be back. If we wanted Italian we should have gone to Little Italy.
