We always love to eat here. The food is different from a typical Italian restaurant (it leans Sicilian) and is always excellent. The service is outstanding and friendly.

The meal started off with the problem that for the bread course of bread with oil, the bread was undercooked and gummy on the inside. The Caesar salad appetizer had parmesan put on by the kitchen staff and there was too much. The pasta course (Rigatoni alla Norma) was well done with rigatoni and eggplant, the spaghetti sauce was good and the perfect amount of salt was present in the dish. The Cotoletta di Pollo,( breaded chicken) main course had several problems, the breaded chicken was good but the arugula on the chicken were too tough and should have been baby arugula rather than mature arugula. The mozzarella pieces on the chicken were too big and the tomato should have been braised rather than simply cut. The lemon vinaigrette was good but there should have been more on the plate. While there were problems with the food, the service was quite good. The waiter was helpful without being too solicitous. It is a shame that the food wasn't the quality of the service.

This place used to be one of our favs Italian restaurant in the area. Tonight’s experience was far from what it used to be. The pasta was overcooked, the seasoning was not on par, service slow. I even google to know if ownership has changed that different it was for us. Not going back for sure.
