"First off, the food was on point. The chicken Parm was tender with a delicious marinara and very fresh mozzarella and basil. The arugula salad also very fresh and served with a tasty basil vinaigrette. Focaccia bread on the side was good. What wasdisappointing: we arrived at 8:35pm after seeing a film at The Belcourt and, uncertain of the hours, asked an employee who wasclearing outdoor tables if they were still open. She seemed uncertain of the time and came across less than welcoming but didinvite us inside. While placing our order my wife asked what wine she recommended and we got a response something to the effectof Oh, I don 't know. My wife then said she 'd like to try the chianti and the response was Well, I 'd have to open a bottle, conveying intentionally or not that this would seemingly be a bother. I suppose she may have had a rough day of service(though the restaurant hours, I later discovered, are only 4pm 9pm so that 's hardly killer service hours), but as an Italianrestaurant (fast casual notwithstanding) you a) have to know about your wine offerings; and b) never turn down an opportunity tomake a beverage sale given the revenue you are otherwise losing. As it stood, both of us just ended up with a cup of water. Wewill definitely be back as the food was delicious. Hoping we just caught an off night on service."
