I'm usually disappointed when I try new Italian places. I was happy that this place broke the trend. From the live pianist/singer to the cozy booth and candle light to the jovial host, I was immediately impressed. Then the menu...no crap, just the good stuff, the basics and the prices were pretty good. We couldn't wait to order, but we did. We waited and waited and waited. Finally I flagged down the waiter and asked if we could please order. It's like, "Um, I would like to buy things from you. Would you like to sell me something?". It really rightsized my excitement being put on hold like that.
Finally the food! YUM! I'll get the chicken parm again. It was the right size and delish!
So dinner was over and we were ready to pay. Along came the check and there went the waiter. Again we waited and waited until I flagged him down and asked if we could please pay. Again, it's like, "Hey, I'd like to give you $30 + 20% for your...ahem....service. Why won't you just come take it???" arg!! Anyway, the restaraunt was great and I'll go back and hope for a different waiter.
