Cuisine: 6 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 6 We chose this place due to a show we were watching at a theater steps away. Not a bad Italian restaurant, but there were small issues that did not give us the experience we were hoping for. Heading in, we told the server that we have about 1.5 hour before our show, making sure he is aware. He said, "No problem. Plenty of time." Sadly, throughout the night, we felt ignored a bit even when we were just simply trying to speed up ordering or pay our bill. I know he was busy with a full house, but we weren't asking for too much. Somehow, it took us nearly the full 1.5 hour to finish the meal, hence rushing to the theater barely on time. Another big issue was food that didn't come out hot. At the suggestion of our server, we ordered a combination platter of appetizers. It was huge with six different items and most of it tasted alright. Unfortunately, several items were not hot. Even worse, the shrimps and mussels were cold, which we brought to our servers attention and asked to take that portion of the platter off the bill. He offered replacements, but we had plenty of food and no time to wait for another round of appetizers, so we declined. After another 20 minutes, he brought us new plates of both items, this time hot. We looked at each other and just went with the flow. With that delay, our time was becoming a little more limited. We received our entrees about 45 mins before our show, which is still okay since the theater was a block away. I enjoyed the well made Veal Marsala, which was huge. Keep in mind that food is served in family style portions. The Penne Siciliana was also huge, but nothing special. We also asked for a Caesar Salad, which was decent. With 25 minutes to go, we said okay to checking out the dessert menu. Unfortunately, 10 minutes passed by before our server brought it over. We simply couldn't afford to chance another delay and just asked for the check. Paying for the bill took almost another 10 minutes, which made us rush to our show. Btw, the shrimp and mussels were not removed as we had asked for. We weren't going to fight it. Like I said, well priced Italian restaurant that serves decent food. Just wish the experience would have been a bit smoother.

And requested a gluten-free meal well ahead of time. When we first got to our table, we were greeted by good looking who I thought was just the manager. My wife advised him that she is the gluten-free girl and he immediately said no problem. I have you we have your meal in the back. He walked around nonstop working the room. He was in and out of the kitchen in and bringing the table and every time he passed me, he smiled and said talking to this gentleman just to thank him for how hard I see him working. As the night went on, I started to realize maybe he's not just the manager. He's something larger as I saw him in charge of more than just the staff. He ran the entire place like a well oiled machine always professional kind and very friendly. My wife's meal came out hot and delicious. My entire family was there and we enjoyed all of the food we went up for seconds and even thirds. He waited on us and was constantly asking the rest of the people there if there was anything they needed. I asked for his card so I can write a review and contact his manager to tell him how wonderful he was. I also asked him where I a review about the food. He walked away and came back a few minutes later with his business card. His name was Vincent gave me his phone number and then underneath his number it states . I was quite established unknown restaurant was working so hard. He enjoyed what he was doing. He enjoyed talking to not only the staff, but everyone in the room. no wonder why this restaurant and caterer has done so well over the years. People like him that make a very difficult industry last. Thank you, Vincent for being the best of the best for being professional, friendly and most of all served us a phenomenal meal. Thank you, Robert and Susan Corrado
