Atmosphere was near claustrophobic. Chairs at adjacent tables were bumping into each other which provided no room to walk. Service was abysmal -- 20 minutes to take drink orders, another 20-25 minutes to take order, almost another 30 minutes for our orders to be brought, and we never even got table bread (which would have helped). They have no excuses because there were four servers hanging out behind the counter and none of them were offering any service or asking if there was anything they could get for us. The evening was redeemed by the fact that we were with a group of close friends and enjoyed our time together. The food was excellent but that was ruined by the exceptional poor service and attitudes of the servers. At the end, they even gave us a hard time about requesting separate checks for our dinner group of four couples (another 15 minutes of waiting).

Went there for a quick dinner for 3 on a Thursday evening. Food was good, service was not. We were moved after we were seated (strike one). Took 5 minutes to be offered drinks (strike two). Took 15 minutes before order was taken (strike three). PIzza arrived quickly, pasta dish did not, 10 minutes after. Never received salad I ordered. No drink refills offered. Once finished, had to wait over 15 minutes for the check, this was the worst part. Had to ask for to-go box for leftovers. Very poor choice for casual quick dinner. Felt like an outcast, while regulars were given priority service. I do not recommend, unless you are a local.

The best Italian food I've had in a long time. I went with a party of about 10 people and EVERYTHING everyone ordered looked really good. They have probably the best Caesar Salad dressing I've ever tried. The rustic vegetable soup was delicious and so was the chicken picata.

Wonderful service from an attentive staff. Food was wonderful, served fresh, leftovers were great the next day too. Edit 2: I am happy to say that service is great on weekends and evenings. Eric is the best server in the building. The service is personal, and great all around. Edit: On one of my trips​ back, I had the worst service I've ever experienced at a restaurant. My wife and I were seated and left for about 10 minutes before anyone took our drink orders. We recieved our drinks and placed our order, gnocchi. It was about 20 minutes until my wife's salad arrived, and 40 until the bread. During this time, we saw 3 tables that were sat after us served, eat, pay, and leave. After about 75 minutes, our food arrived. The food itself is the only saving grace, as it was delicious and fresh. This long wait would have been fine, if the staff said anything to us about the wait. It was not busier then I have seen it previously. My wife and I agree that we will not be returning for at least 6 months so they can either turn over staff, or train them how to speak to customers.

It's really not that good. Had a 9 inch chicken pizza. Pizza hut is much better. Rest room nasty no paper towels. I told the waitress she gave me a strange look. I will not be going back. I'm sure the cooks don't wash there hands after using the Restroom, so who needs paper towels. It's a very run down dump. I'm hopping the health Department shuts it down so run down It's really disgusting.
