   The meals were not anything to write home about, especially with the price tag attached to each.

   Food is fabulous. Service with attitude. Really matter of fact lacking the warm and fuzzy feeling. Definitely a destination location.

   We were visiting from out of town and chose this place based on reviews. We did not realize that it would be so busy at 5:45pm, but that was our fault for not checking on events in the surrounding area. Thank goodness we had reservations! After we were seated, we were graciously greeted by our server Kamryn and immediately told the specials. She was very friendly and helpful. We ordered drinks, and since they took a while to come out, she let us know that the bar was a bit backed up. We were fine, as we were not in a rush. For apps we had the eggplant and the grilled artichokes, both were very good. 2 of us ordered the ravioli and added proteins (causing this $28 dish to now be $42), but they were delicious. The sauce was very tasty. One in our party got the steak pasta (steak was overcooked & no sharp knife to be had) and the other in our party got the duck and mushroom pasta. Both of these dishes were under seasoned. The duck dish needed a bit more sauce too. Once we properly seasoned them, they were better and the homemade tagliatelle was light and well made. We paid in cash and left. It had slowed down a lot by the time we left. Then around 8:00pm, I got a call from Nicole. Thinking one of us accidentally left something behind, I answered. And although she was very kind, I was shocked when she proceeded to tell me that we didn't leave enough money to cover the bill. First off, with cash, it's always my worry that someone swiped some of it. But when she told me the amount, I told her absolutely not, that the bill she was reading to me was not our bill. Luckily she was able to figure it out (I think). And I told her if it was indeed us, I would make it right. But it was not us. And the more I thought about it, I thought it very audacious of them to call me. What if I didn't have a reservation? I'm still rather appalled. The food was good, but not worth the price, and definitely not worth the questioning of my character. It's good we were just passing through.

   We love it here, it’s our new go to spot before a show at MVP arena. The (paid) parking lot makes this convenient and we come early so we get a spot right by the exit to beat the exit rush! Food is always amazing, we love the fresh pasta and the pasta a la Carli with grilled sausage is incredible! My husband had the blood orange sorbet which he said was the best he’s had. The staff is extremely friendly and we also appreciate the meal pacing, not rushed but also not long waits between courses.
