| - I have no idea what everyone is loving about this place, maybe it recently came under new management. We were looking for a new pizza place to try and went here based on the Yelp reviews. It was a Friday night, dinner rush hours, and the place was only half full at best, that should have tipped us off. Ambiance was gorgeous, so I had high hopes. But service was slow, only 2 waitresses for the dinner shift (on a Saturday?) and it took a while to get just the drinks and bread. The Chardonnay was the worst I've ever had, I could only muster a few sips to justify the $6 cost of a glass. The bread was nothing special, very basic thick slices of wheat with cold, pre-packaged butter. I have a big issue with any restaurant that uses pre-packaged butter, but the least you can do is leave it at room temp so it'll be easier to spread.
We had bruschetta for the appetizer (it was okay, nothing special), it arrived before we could even place our dinner order. Mind you, that's not because the kitchen was exceptionally fast, but because the waitstaff was exceptionally slow. We ordered a pizza and the veal saltimboca. It took a very long time, we actually opted to have them package our food to-go, I wasn't feeling terribly well and it was taking so long we figured we should just eat at home. Once we got to eat it, we were at a loss. It was your average, Americanized Italian food, the pizza was no better than any other small chain pizza restaurant. The bill was astronomically high considering the mediocrity of the food and the lag in the service time. I can't imagine we're the only ones to be disappointed considering the other glowing Yelp reviews.
