I've had heard from several of my friends that this place is way over rated and over priced. Last night I ate their for the first time and I can't disagree what I have heard. The service is very poor, and our waitress even tried to talk us out of ordering more bread! For parties of 10 or more they force you to order either A La Carte or what they call "family style". To add insult to injury they didn't even have any espresso to serve!!! When it was all over I wasn't even sure that I had visited an Italian restaurant.
Great Martini's.... they pour them in a a very large Tini glass, and are not shy when they do so!
They are very busy, so make reservations if you really want to dine here.
My friends and I walked in to have an early dinner and we were told that they were not accepting any walk in seating. I was surprised that they were so busy on a weeknight. We were able to squeeze our way to a table in the bar, but the place was so packed that people were forced to stand around us like vultures waiting to snatch up a table as soon as we put a fork down. Make reservations if you feel that it's worth it. The atmosphere is fun and the food is good, but nothing to go nuts over.
