| - I kind of want to give it a better review than this? I've been here three times. The first time, the service was knockout amazing and the food was really good. We had a three year old with us and the waitstaff treated him like a king, and he was super well behaved, so it spoke well of the place. I had spaghetti with marinara, she had the crepe lasagna. I wasn't crazy about the crepe lasagna but other people like it.
Second time, I took my teenaged brother for a holiday night. Again, the food was really good. I wasn't crazy about my penne vodka but he got the gnocci with the oxtail ragu, which I adored. We sat on the patio and I felt sometimes slightly ignored, but that was okay for the mood.
Third time, I took my mom for her birthday with teenaged brother on 11/13. Food was mostly okay - my brother got the swordfish and no one liked that. The caprese appetizer could use more of the tomatoes. My gnocci was still great but the caesar salad was served with half a chunk of the head of lettuce uncut. They were really busy and we were really demanding, but service wasn't 100%. Spots on the silverwear, my mom's steak was really pretty rare for 'medium' and had to be taken back, etc.
The one thing I will say is that unlike the other reviewer here on the same night, my mom really liked her special dessert plate. Nutella ice cream is a good idea - my mom is not an adventurous eater so it was right in her dessert range.
I think the mood is changing here, and that sucks because I have out of town guests coming soon and taking them here was my plan. I hope it was just an off night.
