"I do not understand the good reviews for this restaurant. The food was not good. We ordered fried calamari and a stuffed artichoke. The fried calamari was edible but it was not very tender and the batter was tasteless. The sauce was also disappointing as marinara sauces go. It has no taste at all, no garlic or basil flavor it was very bland. The artichoke was a major disappointment. It was very undercooked so that there was hardly any part of the leaves that you could eat because they were not cooked. The stuffing could have been a consolation but there was very little of it and it was completely tasteless. Bread was finally brought to the table long after the appetizers were brought. The bread was Italian bread that was more like white bread. How can a restaurant on Arthur avenue not have delicious authentic Italian bread with all of the bakeries there?? I ordered eggplant parm for dinner. It was not terrible but I would not say it was delicious. It was very bland, and their sauce is very bland. There is no taste of any seasoning at all in their sauce. I also forgot to mention that I ordered the arugula salad which came with house dressing. It was a plate of arugula with a lot of shaved carrots on it and a few pieces of tomato. I cannot tell you what the house dressing is because there was virtually no dressing on the salad. I detected a small amount of oil but nothing else. I was imagining a good Italian style salad dressing as their house dressing. I used the oil and balsamic on the table to add to the salad. And why is the arugula covered in shaved carrots? Others at the table ordered the Caesar salad and there was almost no dressing on their salad either. The other entree was the braciola, which was tough and not cooked properly."

"the ambiente and the design of the restaurant was amazing and very elevated. it is a great place to have a cocktail and enjoy the view and the kamin. eating was ok, but not raised and not very authentic Italian. my man is from Italian and he is very contemplative about his comments when it comes to Italian eating in America. we ordered the charcuterie board and we are amazed to see very little italian everything. no one should ever put cheddar and pfeffer jack cheese cubes on an Italian charcuterie board. there were pickles, cracker from the super market and crisisins scattered on the plate. this is a missed opportunity and such a simple concept. the children ate a pfefferoni pizza and spaghetti with muscheln pasta, both not bad. the spaghetti with mushes tasted good, but much too much sauce. my man got the kalbmarala, which was very good, but the side of the captivating alfredo pasta was huge and very American- think creamy sauce that was so hard to eat. it consumed your mouth and was too much with the marsala. I ordered the halibut with broccolini and red pfeffer risotto. I love halibut but there was no taste except the oil in the pan fried cooking method. I pressed lemon and salt that helped, but very disappointed. the broccolini was delicious! we did not stay for dessert and grateful because our bill until the end of our time was $230 including 3 drinks. I wish them happy when they grow, but not the experience I wanted."
