The food was amazing and the staff was so accommodating. Reserving a table for six when one of the people (child) eats no cheese or tomato sauce in an Italian restaurant is always a challenge, but we were there for a birthday celebration and the staff helped us feed the little one while also celebrating the 21-year-old. I highly recommend the meatballs and butternut squash ravioli! (And from a previous visit, the lasagna!)

Requested a booth over one month prior, hostess brought us to a table by the kitchen. After recognizing our request, moved us to a booth. Multiple servers bringing our orders continuously interrupted our conversations and checking on our food quality, water, more drinks, more bread, etc. a bit annoying. Meal was enjoyable and nice ambience.

Overcooked chicken parm. Spaghetti was clumped together and mushy.
Colletta - Cary, NCResponded today
Hi Duane, I am so sorry we overcooked your chicken parm and the pasta was clumpy and stuck together. That is not our standard and I apologize. I will review with Chef and the team at our next daily preshift meeting so they are aware and can make sure it does not happen again. Please reach out to me directly if there is anything I can do for you. Thank you, Joe Bee 912-508-8721

Extremely slow service, chicken and pasta cool to touch - had waited so long that didn’t want to send it back. Appetizers came before drinks - servic throughout the entire meal was horrible. My teenage granddaughters were there with me to celebrate my birthday- so didn’t want to create a scene. They drank so much water waiting they went to bathroom 3 times and last time no towels to dry hands. Granddaughters thought food was good but not worth the wait so they never want to go back. Very disappointed
