However, around 12pm it fills up pretty quickly! Our waiter was helpful as far as suggestions for the menu, but we didn't see him again until we were all finished. This didn't bother me too much being that we didn't have any issues with our plates, but a check-in is always nice!\n\nThe meals are served on a stone-like plate, which I liked because you avoid the scratching with your forks and knives, but they were heavy! The portions were decent in my opinion - I got the pork meatballs over polenta and I was comfortably filled after finishing it. Someone I was with ordered the flatbread and it's a 4 cut pizza, and she ended up taking a slice home. The other two people that were with me had mentioned that the gnocchi dish (w/ San Marzano/Calabrian chili/Brisket) did have a little spice to it, as well as the minestrone soup.\n\nThe waiter mentioned that all the food and condiments are house-made, and you can definitely taste it! Overall, the food and the atmosphere are wonderful and the staff was friendly."^^ . . "1"^^ . "0"^^ .
