    Had high expectations, that steadily declined. We arrived for our 6:30pm reservation on a Saturday and were asked to wait at the bar and we would be called shortly. One hour later we were still waiting. After checking in a couple of times with the host, we were told we were next in line. We sat for dinner at 7:45pm - one hour and fifteen minutes after our reservation. Server was friendly, food was decent, not worth the hour plus wait. One of our dinners came out incorrectly and by the time it was made correctly, the rest of the party was almost done eating. Lastly, restrooms are a mess. You feel like you are in a club restroom as they are filthy and unattended. Mi Piace needs to fix the fact that they over book. They need to regularly make sure bathrooms are tidy. Maybe then people will have a good enough experience to return. We will not return as there are so many other restaurant options with amazing food, service and clean restrooms.

    It's unfortunate that the chef retired and replaced with a new chef who is changing what used to be good here such as the calamari and ahi tuna appetizers. The chef did not know how to cook my filet mignon that I ordered medium and came out to medium rare on one side, medium in the middle, and medium well on the other side.

    Service is great but food is not satisfying. Seafood stew pasta needs improvement for its pasta tastes like fresh dough thrown in the pot without any flavor and the soup tastes bland and watery. Lamb chops are not freshly prepared and taste like coming right out of freezer without any flavor.

    A truly wonderful experience, they were very busy so a few items took longer than usual but all in all it was a wonderful dinner wonderful experience good service, an owner that really cares. The most beautiful thing about this restaurant is the very menu the surprising specials backed by, wonderful standards like the awesome Osso Bucco and Papadilio Bolognese. Top Shelf all the way.

    Terrible, won’t be coming back. Our reservation was at 7:30 for a party of four. We checked in at 7:20 PM and noticed quite a few people standing around; the restaurant was full. The hostesses were not very friendly and when I asked when she thought we would be seated, she said oh I don’t know no one’s leaving so we need to wait until people leave. She told us to wait either outside or in the bar area. Since there was no seats in the bar area, we decided to wait outside on the sidewalk. It was cold outside and there was a homeless man yelling and annoying everyone so we eventually came back inside. We checked in with the hostess 30 minutes later and still she had no idea when we would be seated. We then stood around and waited for another 25 minutes until finally a table became available. Unfortunately it was right by the front door so it was quite loud. Once we were seated we did receive warm bread and the waitress came over right away. She was very friendly and we had very good service with her. The specials that she recommended were not the greatest, although I have to say that the cocktails specifically the lemon drops were very good. The food was very average and I would never order any of those items again. One was the lemon linguine which was a special And the other one was a pasta with calamari which my boyfriend couldn’t even finish because the calamari rings were very tough and chewy and sauce had no taste. Overall terrible experience would never return.

    Food was good. Not a lot for the cost. At least not what I ordered. Our waiter was wonder, but the waiter that served the other table seemed to be rushing the patrons. Also, not a lot of space for your food and plate. The women restroom were not clean, one of the doors did not lock. Just didn’t feel very clean in the restaurant for my liking.
