. "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "Went in for dinner tonight with 2 others. The place was fairly empty. We ordered coffee since we don't drink wine, though there aren't many Italian wines on the menu.The coffee was lukewarm and didn't taste fresh. They put it in a carafe and warm in a microwave. Ugh. The menu is limited to some nice choices that are higher quality than chain Italian restaurants. They serve a basket of average garlic bread. We opted for 3 different plates (Ravioli, Manicotti, & Linguini w/ white clam sauce) & we ordered the mushrooms for an appetizer. They didn't bring appetizer plates so we used our bread plates. Then they sat dirty thru the entire meal. The food is good not fantastic 5-star but tasted good and the presentation was nice except the soup was served in a small cup with no under plate or saucer. 2 of us opted for the salad which was simple and came already with the house dressing. The service was only so-so. We were checked on regularly and the busboy filled our water regularly but we had to ask for a refill of bread and coffee. We had dessert of creme br\u00FBl\u00E9e and had to ask for 3 spoons. Then he brought a tiramisu by mistake and had to take it back and bring the creme br\u00FBl\u00E9e. Fortunately, we had a coupon for reduced price because the final tally was way overpriced at over $80 including tip. Atmosphere is quiet and pleasant. It's definitely not an elegant restaurant. Ambiance is romantic or intimate and the patio filled up fast (misters are available). Music is soft vintage pop (Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald). Overall we give 3 stars because they charge high end prices for less than high end quality."^^ . "3"^^ . "0"^^ . . . "2014-05-18T00:00:00"^^ .
