| - My rating of this restaurant is a 4.0 for the taste of the food, a 4.0 for ambience, but a 2 for portion size, price, disjointed menu/courses, and misleading information on service (described below). My husband and I went with another couple and we ended up sharing the food (apps and main course) at the recommendation of the server. First they brought delicious bread bites to the table. We ordered the burrata app and 3 pastas (the Garganelli was def the best) which we ordered first. Since we ordered 4 dishes, we all decided we would wait to see how we felt before deciding on our entres; plus, we wanted to take it slow and not be rushed. Prior to bringing our apps/pasta, the servers came to our table several times asking us what we wanted to order for our entres. Although we told them we wanted to wait, one of the servers told us if we didn't put our orders in at that point, we would have to wait about 1 1/2 hours for the entres to come. Although we still wanted to wait, he pressured us and we decided we would order. The server recommended we order the 18 ounce porterhouse to split in addition to another entre since we were all interested in some steak. Instead, we ordered the 18 ounce rib eye and the 7 ounce fillet thinking that would be plenty in light of all of the food we had already ordered. Within 5 minutes of putting in our entre order, they brought the apps/pasta. The apps/pasta were excellent but the portion sizes were very small, especially for the price. We each got about 2 tablespoons of each dish and finished them quickly; within 20 minutes our entres came, despite being told we would have a 1 1/2 hour wait if we chose to order the entres after we finished the apps/pasta. The two steaks were plain with no sides and didn't take long to finish. When we did finish, the men were still hungry but because they felt somewhat misled, we decided to leave. The check, which includes a total of 5 alcoholic beverages, came to $300.00. Although we had a fun time together and the food was good, when all was considered, we agreed afterwards that we probably would not return. Several other Italian places with really good food and less expensive.
