    We were seven including 2 children. We ordered clams oreganata, a Kobe meatball for appetizers. We ordered half orders of linguine vongole, penne a la Chris (bolognese), and chicken on the bone (scarapiello). We ordered full orders of the snapper oreganata and shrimp Luciano. We had chocolate & vanilla tartufo and a pistachio tartufo for dessert along with cappuccinos. We brought two bottles of our wine as they offer a $40 per bottle corkage fee. The food offerings were all well prepared and delicious. The standouts were the Kobe meatball, snapper oreganata, shrimp Luciano, and chicken on the bone. The atmosphere is very nice and a table with a tablecloth is always welcomed. As much as the service was prompt, it was sloppy and not polished. The busboys would stack plates on top of each other to the max right at the table. Some of my guests helped by handing plates over to be stacked. When our last dish was served, the server stacked it on the other unfinished dishes. I find both of these approaches to service to be unappealing and unacceptable, especially at a white tableclothed table. In order to clear the table properly would require more than one busser so, I’d assume that they are understaffed in this area.

    I have been many times and love it but was very upset when the bartender added additional money without me knowing to my already very good tip at the bar. Very disapointed !

    Food was very good but the service was very rushed. It was not the fault of the server, who was excellent, but rather the order of the management. The objective was to turn over the tables as often as possible. Not exactly leisurely dining.

    Our server, Gene, was fantastic. He entertained us with trivia questions until our food was ready. The chicken parm, chicken marsala and rigatoni pomodoro were delicious and the ambiance, although busy, was festive.
