We had come here on a Saturday afternoon at around 1:00 pm for lunch; we were a large table of…read moreabout 20 therefore, we had to book ahead of time before dining. When we arrived, we were surprised at how nice the set-up of the restaurant was; it was spacious, with enough room for all of us to walk around the table comfortably. There weren't too many guests at the time in which we arrived therefore, it wasn't too loud. Although, there was music playing on the speaker which filled the sound void.
We were first given ample time to order from the menus from our server, whose name was Michele. Michele introduced himself, and answered any questions that we had regarding the menu items. He was friendly and knowledgeable, serving us attentively throughout the entire meal. We were first given a basket of bread slices with hot sauce to accompany; I found the hot sauce to be of a small amount, and too spicy for my liking. Afterwards, we were given a dish of calamari, which were very tasty; the dipping sauce was divine!
We also had a dish of grilled vegetables with cold cuts and cut-up cheese; this was also a delicious appetizer, as all of the items were well-prepared, and tasty. When it came to the main dishes however, I wasn't too keen on what I had ordered. The first option that I had ordered was the gnocchi with red sauce, as I was sharing this with my daughter. The amount given in the dish was too small, and the gnocchi itself needed more salt. Also, the pasta was chewy, and stuck to the roof of my mouth at times.
In terms of the margarita pizza, it was much too thin, and difficult to pick-up. Also, the ingredients slid off easily, making it messy to eat. The taste of the pizza was good though however, I would have liked for it to be thicker for easier eating. The nutella pizza that we had ordered for dessert was delicious, with just the perfect amount of nutella! Overall, the food itself was hit and miss however, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was spot-on.
