The food and ambience were excellent as usual this evening. I enjoyed the veal Parmesan with an excellent, super Tuscan and. My wife, the pasta with duck Ragu. Both were excellent. The only downside to the evening was the arrogance and in attention paid by the waiter who I assume was the chief waiter that night. He was discourteous and condescending, taking his leisurely time about even supplying water, olive oil or bread to the table, even when I asked several times. Maybe he has something else on his mind, but it really was a detriment to the evening.

My family and I, a party of six, enjoyed a wonderful lunch this afternoon. Our server, Domenica, was pleasant, professional, and attentive throughout our visit. She took excellent care of us! We enjoyed appetizers, entrées, coffee, and dessert. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. Our entrées included grouper, branzino, and sea bass, and we had absolutely no complaints. Thank you, Domenica and the entire staff, for making our family gathering such a memorable and enjoyable experience. We look forward to returning!

We loved Grissini!. From our valet entrance on a wet day, to walk to table, to wait person & food/drinks--fortuntely we were warned that drinks could be rather expensive, but we accomodated & wish that specials had prices, but we always asked. we will return!
