    A total disappointment. We chose wrong on dining here instead of the many restaurants in the area. Reservations mean nothing and no one to assist you when you do arrive for the reservation. I wouldn’t call it service but more taking an order and handing over food. So many more wrongs than rights here. I’m not a reviewer but I felt I had to share what a total let down this place was. People say oh you can’t go wrong in the north end. I disagree. You certainly can.

    This restaurant is a testament to the poor state of dining in a post-COVID era. It begs the question of whether the staff has ever eaten Italian food. Veal Parmesan was made with some type of processed patty covered with AMERICAN cheese. Gnocchi Bolognese was made with frozen gnocchi and a sauce that had an absence of flavor and no resemblance to seasoned meat sauce. Sad.

    We came on a busy Saturday night and were seated about an hour after our reservation time. The food was well worth the wait though - excellent pastas!
