2 years agoThe service was fine and the restaurant was clean. Also the food came quickly. As for the food it was not very good. We ordered the bruschetta, artichokes with olive oil, minestrone soup and spaghetti with red sauce. The bruschetta was just okay, the artichokes were not good, the soup was tasteless, we ended up pouring the remainder of our pasta sauce into the soup to add flavor. The pasta itself was just alright although the sauce was tasty. A few other issues are that the portions were small, I left hungry, and it might be the most expensive place in town. If you must have Italian go ahead and try it but it would not receive my recommendation as a place I would visit again. The service was good and the restaurant was clean.
