"Very disappointed in this restaurant. Went on a Friday night at 5:30 with a friend and my 6 year old. When we arrived there were maybe 2 tables occupied and the host asked if we had a reservation. We didn 't, but he was very nice and said that 's not a problem and showed us to a table. From there everything felt very rushed. The waitress at first seemed cordial but wasn 't very warm. Asked what we wanted to drink and threw down a basket of bread on the table. She told us the specials before even bringing us menus, which were a piece of printer paper. I barely started asking if they could make a child 's size portion of pasta and I was instantly shot down with we can 't do that. Again, there were only 2 other tables so it 's not like it was SO busy that they couldn 't throw a little extra pasta in a pan to cook for my daughter. She asked the kitchen and I was again served with a firm no. I was clearly frustrated and said forget it I 'll just share with her. After we ordered she whipped the menus out of our hands. It took about 15 minutes to get our dishes, and the saving grace here is that the food was very good. But my pasta dish and my friend 's salad were $25 each. The cost was outrageous. I understand inflation and making ends meet but not to that extreme. Lastly, our bills came with a $1 credit card processing fee. Again, understand that this is the norm now but $1? That 's petty. We weren 't served with a goodbye or a thank you as we left. Horrible service and an unwelcoming atmosphere. Absolutely will not be going back. Do yourself a favor and don 't waste your time or money. There are much better Italian restaurants up and down the coast that would gladly welcome your business and give you child-friendly food options."
