I'll give this place one thing: the food is delicious. Everything else... well... not so great. Service was indifferent and the restaurant's decor was cheesier than all the bufala mozzarella in Campana. (The chef's picture on the restaurant signs! The celebrity photos up front! And the murals! OMG, the murals! I half expected "Decor by Carmela Soprano" business cards by the door.)
But, if you can ignore the Olive Garden-Meets-Buca-di-Beppo-esque decor and the standoffish service, then chances are you're in for a pretty good meal. My pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, with a rich rose cream sauce. And my Meditteraneo salad was fresh and lightly dressed lettuce, and topped with a really nice, mild feta. Yum. Prices are a bit high in general, but for a restaurant in the middle of Yorkville, it's not so bad.
In sum: Food = 4 stars; Service = 2 stars, Ambience = 3 stars. In average, a 3 star experience.
